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 | $0.00029 | $0.00817 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00409 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00163 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00082 |
Grade A, and why
course-content-map 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Course Content Map
Use this skill when a task asks about project structure, course materials, assignments, deadlines, or where to find a resource.
Workflow
- Read root
AGENTS.md. - Load durable context from Serena memories first. If Serena is unavailable,
read
docs/memory-bank/README.mdand the relevant fallback memory files. - List the top-level folders and the smallest relevant subtree.
- Prefer file names, README files, notebook metadata, CSV headers, and document metadata before reading large content.
- For notebooks, summarize purpose from markdown cells, headings, imports, and output names.
- For CSVs, report path, shape, columns, likely target column, and sensitivity.
- Record durable project facts in Serena memory. If Serena is unavailable,
update the appropriate file under
docs/memory-bank/. - Record process lessons or user corrections in
LESSONS.mdonly when they are lessons from the work itself.
Safety
- Do not execute notebooks.
- Do not extract ZIP files unless the user explicitly asks.
- Do not use git or GitHub workflow tools.
- Do not use Google Workspace or Google service automation.
Cross-Client Portability
This skill is written to stay usable across GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex.
- GitHub Copilot: keep the folder in a Copilot-visible skill path or wrap the workflow in project instructions when folder discovery is unavailable.
- Claude Code: keep the folder in a local skills directory or a compatible plugin source.
- Codex: install or sync the folder into
$CODEX_HOME/skills/course-content-mapand restart Codex after major changes.
MCP Availability And Fallback
Preferred MCP Server: None required
- Fallback prompt: "Use the Course Content Map skill without MCP. Rely on its local instructions, bundled resources, standard shell or editor tools, and direct verification. Show the evidence used before concluding."
- Do not claim an MCP operation was used when the active host does not expose it.
- Treat local files, tests, rendered outputs, logs, or screenshots as the fallback evidence path.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

course-content-map is a skill published in the GitHub repository PracticalSwan/agent-skills (13 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 817 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.

course-storytelling
Use when lesson or course content is correct but forgettable and a concept has to LAND: profiles the learner, breaks the blocking false belief, then rebuilds it as epiphany story → named model → grounded analogy → proof → so-what. NOT outcomes, assessment or module order (that is course-builder), NOT slide visuals…
claude-certification
AI-native tutor and onboarding workflow for the four independent Claude certification tracks in AI Engineering from Scratch. Use when a learner wants to choose a Claude certification, prepare for CCAO-F, CCDV-F, CCAR-F, or CCAR-P, resume a certification path, learn the next lesson interactively, run and verify…
learn-mcp
Focused interactive tutor for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) path in AI Engineering from Scratch. Start or resume this route when a learner wants to build, secure, debug, verify, or operate MCP clients, servers, transports, gateways, registries, or conformance gates. Teaches one lesson per invocation and records…
learn
Interactive lesson tutor for the AI Engineering from Scratch curriculum. Reads LEARNING.md, fetches the next lesson, teaches it section by section in the terminal, quizzes at the end, and records progress. Works cloned or entirely over raw.githubusercontent.com — no setup required. Trigger phrases: "next lesson"…
check-understanding
Phase quiz for AI Engineering from Scratch. Trigger with "quiz me", "test phase", "check my understanding", "do I know phase 3", or /check-understanding .
course-guide
Topic router for the AI Engineering from Scratch curriculum. Give it a topic, a question, or a bug you are fighting, and it points at the exact lessons that teach it, plus the right next command. Trigger phrases: "where do I learn", "which lesson covers", "course guide", "I'm stuck on", "what should I do next", "teach…
