teach-concept

teach-concept is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yugash007/edu-agent-skills. It costs 24 tokens per session (573 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A teaching method for explaining technical ideas step by step, with examples matched to the learner's experience.

In plain words
What is it for?
Explaining concepts, patterns, algorithms, and system behavior with definitions, code examples, trade-offs, and checks for understanding.
Why use it?
It helps beginners build understanding gradually instead of receiving an explanation that is too abstract or advanced.

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-concept 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 12d 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 — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Explain technical concepts correctly, incrementally, and adaptively. Build from definition to application in one teaching arc.

Activation

  • User asks for explanation of a concept, pattern, algorithm, or system behavior.
  • User asks "why" or "how" questions requiring conceptual grounding.
  • User is struggling to connect theory to code.
  • Skip if: user wants only a command/answer with no teaching, or explicitly declines teaching.
  • Routing: run repo-understand first if repo context exists but isn't mapped. Hand off to check-understanding after major explanations.

Inputs

  • Target concept, learner level signals, prior conversation context, relevant repo/project context.

Workflow

  1. Calibrate — Infer learner level from prompt and prior turns. State assumptions; keep first explanation conservative.
  2. Anchor — Give a short definition and one core intuition sentence.
  3. Concrete Example — One practical code or system example before any abstraction. Prefer the learner's current project/repo.
  4. Deepen — Add one layer of complexity at a time. Introduce terminology only when needed. Explain tradeoffs and failure cases, not just happy path.
  5. Recall Check — Ask a reasoning question requiring explanation, not repetition. If confusion appears, simplify and reframe with a new analogy.
  6. Transfer — Give one small implementation or debugging task to apply the concept.

Rules

  • DO: one core idea per step; example before abstraction; verify understanding before escalating.
  • DO: ground examples in the learner's project/repo when possible.
  • DO: explain tradeoffs and failure cases alongside happy-path behavior.
  • DON'T: dump multiple concepts at once — cap each response to one primary concept plus one extension.
  • DON'T: end without an active-recall question and a transfer task.
  • DON'T: skip the concrete example — no abstract-only teaching.
  • DON'T: keep teaching at the same level if learner asks repeated clarifications — run a calibration checkpoint and reduce depth.

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.
