fluent-speaking

An interactive typed conversation practice session for language learners. It focuses on communicating naturally through questions, role-play, and discussion rather than correcting every grammar mistake.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after typing /fluent-speaking for free-flowing dialogue, role-plays, opinion questions, and guided practice in the learner’s target language.
Why use it?
It gives learners practice producing the target language in a conversation-like setting. It keeps attention on clarity and confidence when small grammar errors do not block meaning.

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-speaking 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.

Speaking Practice (Typed)

Overview

Conversational practice through typed dialogue. Unlike /fluent-writing, prioritize communication and naturalness — grammar errors that don't block meaning are downplayed. Goal: build the learner's confidence to produce target-language output without over-analyzing.

When to Use

Trigger this skill only when the learner types /fluent-speaking. 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 2 — the learner needs a basic word bank and verb conjugations first (run /fluent-vocab a few times).

Instructions

1. Load context

# 🗣️ {target_language} Speaking Practice

Hallo {name}!

Today we're practicing **speaking** through typed conversation. I'll ask you questions or give scenarios, you respond naturally in {target_language} — just like a real conversation.

**Focus:** natural expression, fluency, pronunciation (typed)
**Level:** {CEFR}
**Duration:** 15-20 min

**Tips:**
- Think in {target_language}, not {native_language}
- Don't chase perfect grammar — focus on getting your message across
- Use complete sentences
- Be natural and conversational

**Ready? Let's chat!** 💬

3. Pick topic based on mastery

A2 topics:

  1. Personal introductions
  2. Daily routine
  3. Hobbies and interests
  4. Shopping
  5. Making appointments
  6. Asking for directions
  7. Ordering food
  8. Talking about weather
  9. Weekend plans
  10. Work / study

B1+: opinions, comparisons, hypotheticals, complaints, narratives.

4. One question at a time

## Question {N}: {Topic}

{Question in target language}

**Type your answer in {target_language}:**

Build the conversation naturally — after 3-4 Qs on one topic, transition: Interessant! Let's talk about something else....

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
