Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

challenge 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Requested topic/task: $ARGUMENTS

Before accessing education data, read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/education-data.md. Resolve every <education-db> below using that contract. Current session ID: ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}.

Challenge — Mini-Tasks

Generates a short, focused exercise on the current topic. Adapts to the learning type. Results update the global education DB.

Invocation

/claude-teacher:challenge — picks topic from current context, weak areas, or topics at surface depth that need to reach working /claude-teacher:challenge [topic] — specific topic

Process

  1. Read <education-db>/dashboard.json — check topic statuses
  2. Read <education-db>/student.json — adapt to learning style and level
  3. If a topic was given, read <education-db>/topics/<topic>.json — check depth, misconceptions
  4. If no topic given, pick using priority: topics at surface depth (need hands-on to reach working) → weak topics → learned topics
  5. NEVER generate challenges on topics not in the DB — the student hasn't learned them yet. If no covered topics exist: "Nothing to challenge on yet — let's learn something first!"
  6. Read .claude/claude-teacher.json for learning type (project, subject, exam-prep, or mixed); use CLAUDE.md only as a legacy fallback
  7. If topic has unresolved misconceptions, design the challenge to expose/address them
  8. Generate ONE challenge appropriate to the type
  9. Wait for the student's answer
  10. Evaluate, explain, update DB

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.
