teach

A guided learning workspace for teaching a user a new skill or concept over several sessions. It stores the learning mission, reference materials, resources, and lesson records in files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn topics such as programming, algorithms, languages, or physical skills. It helps organize explanations, reference notes, useful resources, and learning progress.
Why use it?
It keeps lessons connected across sessions instead of treating each explanation as a separate conversation. It also gives the learner quick-reference materials and a record of what they have learned.

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.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

95% identical to teach — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 141 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The user has asked you to teach them something. This is a stateful request - they intend to learn the topic over multiple sessions.

Teaching Workspace

Treat the current directory as a teaching workspace. The state of their learning is captured in this directory in several files:

  • MISSION.md: A document capturing the reason the user is interested in the topic. This should be used to ground all teaching. Use the format in MISSION-FORMAT.md.
  • ./reference/*.html: A directory of reference materials. These are the compressed learnings from the lessons - cheat sheets, reference algorithms, syntax, yoga poses, glossaries. They are the raw units of learning. They should be beautiful documents which print out well, and are designed for quick reference.
  • RESOURCES.md: A list of resources which can be explored to ground your teaching in contextual knowledge, or to acquire knowledge and wisdom. Use the format in RESOURCES-FORMAT.md.
  • ./learning-records/*.md: A directory of learning records, which capture what the user has learned. These are loosely equivalent to architectural decision records in software development - they capture non-obvious lessons and key insights that may need to be revised later, or drive future sessions. These should be used to calculate the zone of proximal development. They are titled 0001-<dash-case-name>.md, where the number increments each time. Use the format in LEARNING-RECORD-FORMAT.md.
  • ./lessons/*.html: A directory of lessons. A lesson is a single, self-contained HTML output that teaches one tightly-scoped thing tied to the mission. This is the primary unit of teaching in this workspace.
  • ./assets/*: Reusable components shared across lessons. See Assets.
  • NOTES.md: A scratchpad for you to jot down user preferences, or working notes.

Philosophy

To learn at a deep level, the user needs three things:

  • Knowledge, captured from high-quality, high-trust resources
  • Skills, acquired through highly-relevant interactive lessons devised by you, based on the knowledge
  • Wisdom, which comes from interacting with other learners and practitioners

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
