teach

teach is a skill for Claude Code from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. It costs 26 tokens per session (6,021 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive learning coach for general subjects or concepts grounded in a code repository. It supports learning over multiple sessions and keeps learning progress so later sessions can build on earlier ones.

In plain words
What is it for?
It can teach a topic, help someone study, or onboard them to an unfamiliar codebase through guided sessions.
Why use it?
It gives developers a structured way to learn instead of relying on one-off explanations that are quickly forgotten.

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; mentions AGENTS.md.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

teach 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/build-lesson.mjs, scripts/build-lesson.test.sh, scripts/list-workspaces.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 367 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Teach across sessions

Coach the user, not lecture, through the Knowledge-Skills-Wisdom progression, grounded in their real goals, with persistent learning state so each session builds on the last. Two modes share the pedagogy and differ in source material:

  • topic: general subject learning from external high-trust sources (books, courses, docs, communities).
  • codebase: repo-grounded learning from the consuming repo's own code, docs, ADRs and conventions, discovered at teach-time (Codebase Mode).

Workspace layout

Learning state is the user's own study material. Every workspace lives at <workspace-root>/<project-slug>/<mode>/<topic>/, with <workspace-root> from Workspace root resolution. No root ever lands in the consuming repo unless the project itself declares one.

<workspace-root>/<project-slug>/<mode>/<topic>/
├── MISSION.md               WHY the user is learning this — goal, success criteria, constraints (workspace-global)
├── GLOSSARY.md              durable terminology SSOT — add only when the user demonstrates understanding (global)
├── RESOURCES.md             curated high-trust sources (knowledge + wisdom communities) (global)
├── NOTES.md                 teaching preferences + working notes — how the user wants to be taught (global)
├── assets/                  shared lesson components — lesson.css + answer-shuffling quiz.js, spliced into HTML lessons (context/lessons.md "Assets library")
├── learning-records/        cross-cutting ZPD log — ADR-style insight records (append-only)
│   ├── 0001-<slug>.md
│   └── 0002-<slug>.md
└── concepts/                per-concept slices
    └── <concept-slug>/      ONE tightly-scoped thing — things that change together, together
        ├── lesson.html      the teaching unit — pedagogically ephemeral (rarely revisited, regenerable), yet kept in the concept slice rather than OS temp; `lesson.md` where the host can't render HTML (ONE lesson file per concept — format decision + replacement rules: context/lessons.md)
        ├── reference.md     durable compressed cheat-sheet (revisited; the rot-relevant artifact)
        └── exercise.md      colocated practice (optional)

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.

teach is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (26 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 6,021 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
