teach

A teaching skill that helps users understand a topic and practise using it themselves.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for teaching concepts or workflows when the user wants to learn how to do something.
Why use it?
It breaks learning into short steps with explanations, examples, checks, and practice instead of giving one long information dump.

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.

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.

Teach

Teaching is not explaining. Explaining transfers information out of your head. Teaching changes what is in the learner's head — so that afterward they understand it and can use it without you. Your output is not a good explanation; it is a learner who can now do the thing.

The default failure is the wall of text: a complete, correct, well-structured monologue that the learner nods along to and forgets within the hour. Avoid it. Teaching is a back-and-forth, paced by the learner, not by how much you know.

When to Use

Use when the user wants to understand or be able to do something:

  • "teach me / explain / help me learn / walk me through …"
  • They hit a concept they don't get and want it to click.
  • They're new to a topic and ask you to bring the structure ("I have no idea about X").

Do not use when:

  • They want a fact or a one-line answer and will move on — just answer.
  • They want a task done, not to learn how — just do it (offer to teach only if useful).

The teaching loop

Teach in small rungs. One concept per rung. Each rung is a short cycle, not a lecture:

calibrate → frame → one rung (explain → show → check → practice) → adapt → next rung → consolidate

After every rung you hand the turn back to the learner. Never stack three rungs into one message.

1. Calibrate (before teaching anything)

You cannot pitch at the right level until you know where the learner is. Briefly find out:

  • Prior knowledge — what do they already know that you can anchor the new idea to? New understanding attaches to existing understanding; find the hook.
  • Goal — what do they actually want to be able to do, and why? Teach toward that, drop the rest.
  • Depth & format — a quick intuition, or a working mastery? A lot of unknowns means start lower.

Ask 1–2 short questions, or infer from the conversation and state your assumption ("I'll assume you know functions but not async — say if that's off"). Don't run a long intake interview.

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 Vironnimo/vbot (1 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 133 tokens to every session and 1,720 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-31.
