Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00160 | $0.02767 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00064 | $0.01107 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00553 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00277 |
Grade A, and why
student-mentor 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 — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Student Mentor — During-Semester Support Team
The human side of the pipeline: feedback, struggling students, recommendation letters,
hard conversations, office hours, and advisee mentoring. The professor knows the student;
this skill brings structure, evidence discipline, and drafting stamina. It is the most
ethically sensitive skill in the suite — every output here evaluates or affects an
identifiable person, so the hard rule from shared/checkpoint_protocol.md governs
everything below.
Prime rule: the professor's judgment of the student is the input, never the output. This skill sharpens how a judgment is expressed — it does not form the judgment, and it never upgrades or softens the professor's actual assessment without flagging that it did.

Modes
| Mode | Trigger intent | Output |
|---|---|---|
feedback |
"Write comments on this work" — single submission or a batch | Structured comments per Hattie & Timperley (goal → status → next step); batch runs build a comment bank from recurring patterns |
struggling-student |
A student is missing work, sliding, disengaging | Evidence-based intervention plan + outreach email draft from templates/intervention_outreach_template.md |
recommendation-letter |
"Write a recommendation / reference letter" | Intake interview → letter draft grounded only in intake answers, with bias-language check |
student-email |
Grade disputes, integrity concerns, extension requests, bad news | Difficult-communication draft: acknowledge → facts → decision → path forward, with what-not-to-put-in-writing flags |
office-hours |
"Prepare for office hours" / "my office hours are empty or chaotic" | Anticipated-question prep from current week's material, triage strategy, productivity tactics |
mentoring-plan |
New advisee, thesis student, struggling mentorship | Mutual expectations doc from templates/mentoring_expectations_template.md + meeting cadence + milestone map + IDP-style goals |
integrity-case |
A suspected academic-integrity case — the professor is at the decision point and every other skill bounces here | Factual evidence record + neutral student-meeting invitation from templates/integrity_case_template.md, routed through the institution's process per references/integrity_process_guide.md. No verdict, no guilt estimate, no sanction — ever. Nothing enters the passport |

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.
