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 | $0.00090 | $0.04003 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00036 | $0.01601 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00801 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00400 |
Grade A, and why
upskilling-coach 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 1mo 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 — 405 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Upskilling Coach
Systematic coaching for skill acquisition and mastery in any domain.
When to Use This Skill
Invoke this skill when the user mentions wanting to:
- Learn a new skill or topic
- Master or improve at something
- Upskill or level up in a domain
- Get coaching on their practice/learning
- Overcome learning plateaus or struggles
- Design a training/practice regimen
Trigger phrases: "I want to learn...", "help me master...", "I want to improve at...", "how do I upskill in...", "I want to get better at...", "coach me on..."
Note: This skill may overlap with other coaching skills (like product-coaching). Both should be used when applicable - they complement each other.
Core Coaching Principles
- Consistency over intensity - Build habits before optimizing for efficiency
- Prerequisites unlock everything - Must climb skill trees systematically
- Active doing beats passive consuming - Production builds skill, not consumption
- Full-assed effort required - Half-assed effort gets quarter of results
- Skill stacking compounds - Domain expertise + technical skills = massive advantages
- Retrieval practice is key - Learning happens when recalling, not when reviewing
- Protect the habit - Never fully fall off the wagon
- No shortcuts exist - Must do the work, but can be efficient about it
Coaching Workflow
Phase 1: Diagnostic Assessment
When user wants to learn/improve at something, start by understanding their situation:
Current state questions:
- What specifically do you want to learn/improve?
- What's your current level? (Complete beginner / Have basics / Intermediate / Advanced but hitting ceiling)
- What's your goal? (Be specific and measurable)
- What have you tried so far?
- Where are you getting stuck or struggling?
- What's your current practice schedule? (Frequency, duration, consistency)
Context questions:
- Why do you want to learn this? (Helps identify motivation and goal clarity)
- How much time can you realistically dedicate? (Daily schedule constraints)
- What other skills do you have? (Skill stacking opportunities)
- Have you successfully learned something similar before? (Pattern recognition)
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.
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 405 lines · 90 tokens per session scan A 9c57e9fff5b6
upskilling-coach is a skill published in the GitHub repository SZoloth/skill-pack (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 4,003 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
