check-understanding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yugash007/edu-agent-skills. It costs 23 tokens per session (467 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A learning check that tests whether someone can reason about and apply a concept, rather than merely recall facts.

In plain words
What is it for?
It asks conceptual, application, and debugging questions, evaluates the reasoning, explains mistakes, and uses a follow-up question to confirm improvement.
Why use it?
It reveals misconceptions, incomplete understanding, and practical execution gaps before the learner moves on.

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

check-understanding 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Purpose

Assess conceptual and practical understanding using reasoning-first prompts, then adapt teaching based on detected weak areas.

Activation

  • Concept explanation just completed. Learner claims understanding and needs validation. Repeated related mistakes. Readiness check needed before advancing.
  • Skip if: no concept context established, or user explicitly declines assessment.
  • Routing: pair with teach-concept for explanation→assessment loops. Escalate to socratic-mode when misconceptions persist.

Inputs

  • Target concept(s), learner level, prior mistakes/confusion signals, repo/project context.

Workflow

  1. Target — Select 1–2 concepts being validated.
  2. Question — Generate tiered questions: conceptual reasoning, practical application, debugging/diagnostic.
  3. Evaluate — Grade reasoning quality, not keyword match.
  4. Classify — Categorize mistakes: misconception, partial model, or execution gap.
  5. Correct — Explain root cause and provide corrected model.
  6. Recheck — One follow-up question to confirm recovery.

Rules

  • DO: test reasoning and transfer, not memorization.
  • DO: use plausible distractors in MCQ format.
  • DO: explain why an answer fails, not just that it's wrong.
  • DO: track weak areas across turns when context allows.
  • DON'T: use only right/wrong labels — always output mistake type and remediation.
  • DON'T: end without a recheck after correction.
  • DON'T: ignore repeated weak areas — log and prioritize them.

Output

Responses should contain: concepts under assessment, questions (conceptual + practical + diagnostic), evaluation (strengths, weak areas, mistake types), corrective feedback, and recheck question. Format naturally.

Checklist

  • Includes conceptual and practical checks.
  • Mistakes categorized, not just scored.
  • Corrective feedback explains root cause.
  • Follow-up recheck present.

Changes

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.
