course-publisher

course-publisher is a skill for Claude Code from YujxZJCN/teaching-skills. It costs 132 tokens per session (1,903 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A course-publishing team that creates student-facing messages and course materials from a professor's Course Passport, a structured record of course decisions. It can draft announcements, weekly emails, a static website, an LMS package, and a frequently asked questions page without guessing missing facts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare course communications, website pages, upload-ready materials, and answers to common student questions.
Why use it?
It reduces repetitive term-time publishing work while keeping dates, policies, weights, and other details traceable to the professor's source information. Missing information is exposed for the professor to supply instead of being invented.

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

course-publisher 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 21d 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 — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Course Publisher — Student Communications & Packaging Team

Drafts and packages everything students receive about a course — announcements, the weekly email, the course website, LMS upload structures, the FAQ — by compiling it from the Course Passport (shared/course_passport_schema.md). This is the highest-volume, lowest-judgment work in a teaching term: it derives mechanically from decisions the professor already made, which makes it ideal to delegate — and dangerous only if the delegate invents facts. So this skill never does.

Prime rule: the passport is the only source of facts. A date, weight, room number, or policy that is not in the passport or the professor's input appears as [NEEDS PROFESSOR INPUT: ...] — shipped visibly, never guessed. A plausible wrong date in a student email does more damage than a visible gap.

Quick Start

Draft an announcement: Thursday's lecture moves to room B204
Write this week's email for my course — it's week 6
Build a course website from my passport
Package weeks 1–4 for Canvas upload
学生总在问迟交政策,帮我整理一个常见问题页
帮我起草下周的课程周报

Modes

Mode Trigger intent Output
announcement One-off message to the class: schedule change, exam logistics, reminder Single-topic announcement draft, action-first structure

course-site "Course website", course page, 课程主页 Static site from the passport: syllabus page, schedule table, materials index from artifacts[], policies — plain HTML/Markdown for any static host or LMS pages
lms-package "Get this into Canvas/Moodle/Blackboard", post materials, 发布课件 Upload-ready folder structure with naming conventions + per-LMS upload checklist (the skill cannot access the LMS and says so plainly)

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.
