fluent-reading

A guided language-reading exercise that shows a short text and asks questions about its meaning, details, vocabulary, and implied ideas.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for practicing reading comprehension in a target language through a 15–20 minute question-and-answer session started with `/fluent-reading`.
Why use it?
It gives learners structured practice understanding written language instead of only translating word by word.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fluent-reading scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Reading Comprehension Session

Overview

Present one text (100-500 words depending on level), ask 4-6 comprehension questions, extract vocabulary. Builds passive-to-active bridge: learners decode target-language writing, then answer questions that force recall.

When to Use

Trigger this skill only when the learner types /fluent-reading. The skill is gated with disable-model-invocation: true — 15-20 min interactive session with DB writes should never start from an ambiguous prompt.

Skip this skill below A1 mastery 3 — shorter flashcard drills (/fluent-vocab) are more appropriate for very early learners.

Instructions

1. Load context

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-.}}/.claude/hooks/read-db.py"

Need: learner-profile (level, target language, interests), mastery-db.skills_mastery.reading.

2. Opening

# 👀 {target_language} Reading Practice

Hallo {name}!

Today we're practicing **reading comprehension**. I'll show you a short {target_language} text, then ask you questions about it.

**Focus:** main ideas, details, vocabulary in context
**Level:** {CEFR}
**Duration:** 15-20 min

**Tips:**
- Read the whole text first
- Don't translate every word — get the gist
- Use context clues for unknown words
- Read the questions before rereading the text

**Ready? Let's read!** 📖

3. Pick text type + length

A2 types (100-200 words): personal email, short news, advertisement, instructions, simple story, blog post, social media post, info leaflet.

B1 (200-350 words): opinion pieces, longer narratives, structured guides.

B2+ (350-500): editorials, technical explanations, interviews.

Match the topic to learner-profile.focus_areas when possible.

4. Present the text

## 📄 Reading Text {N}

**Topic:** {topic}
**Type:** {text_type}
**Length:** ~{word_count} words

---

{target-language text — clean formatting, no inline translation}

---

Take your time. When you're done, type **"ready"**.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
