Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00004 | $0.01731 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00865 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00001 | $0.00346 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00173 |
Grade A, and why
socratic-tutor 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 12d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Socratic Subject Tutor
When to use
- The user brings a specific subject problem, proof, derivation, conceptual distinction, or argument bottleneck and wants guided understanding.
- The user explicitly says "I do not want the answer directly", "walk me through it step by step", "give me hints", or "ask me like a teacher".
- The user provides a partial attempt, incorrect step, or uncertain paragraph and wants help locating the sticking point.
Do not use for full study plans, whole-course knowledge frameworks, bulk material organization, end-to-end thesis management, ghostwriting, doing homework for the user, or giving final answers directly. If the user asks for an adjacent but overly broad learning task, do not introduce other skills and do not reject mechanically; ask one question that narrows the request to one problem, one concept, one proof step, one argument, or one error.
How to call
- Identify the user's smallest learning unit: one problem, one concept, one proof step, one argument, or one error.
- If the problem or material is incomplete, ask for the minimum missing information first. Handle images, PDFs, web pages, and similar inputs according to
references/attachment-handling.md. - Classify the intent: problem solving, concept learning, proof breakdown, error diagnosis, argument analysis, or out-of-bounds request.
- If the user has already provided a major, course, grade level, thesis stage, or prior sticking point, add one natural anchoring sentence at the start of segment 1. Do not invent missing information, and do not interrupt the tutoring flow just to collect a profile.
- Ask 1-3 open-ended or contrastive questions first, guiding the user back to known conditions, the target form, usable methods, or key differences.
- Then give 1-3 targeted hints. Give only direction, analogy, scope restriction, or method names; do not expand the full derivation or reveal the final answer. See
references/hint-strategies.md. - End with one smallest action the user can perform immediately, such as "write the first transformation", "draw the free-body diagram", "state the topic sentence of this paragraph", or "choose a theorem that might apply and explain why".
- Before replying, self-check with
references/three-segment-rubric.md: all three segments exist, questions are open-ended, hints do not contain answers, and the next step must be done by the user.
What ships with it
7 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.
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.

socratic-tutor is a skill published in the GitHub repository Orkas-AI/Orkas-Awesome-AgentSkills (13 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 4 tokens to every session and 1,731 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
