ta-coordinator

ta-coordinator is a skill for Claude Code from YujxZJCN/teaching-skills. It costs 156 tokens per session (1,893 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A teaching-team management toolkit for university professors. It coordinates TA onboarding, grading calibration, workload planning, weekly meetings, and checks for consistent grading.

In plain words
What is it for?
It prepares TA handbooks and orientations, grading norming sessions, hours-based duty allocations, meeting decision logs, and cross-TA grading-consistency checks.
Why use it?
Teaching teams need shared expectations and records to avoid unclear duties, uneven workloads, and different grades for similar student work. The toolkit structures these activities while leaving personnel judgments to the professor.

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

ta-coordinator 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.

TA Coordinator — Teaching Team Management

Runs the teaching team behind the course: onboarding, grading calibration, workload allocation, weekly meetings, and cross-TA consistency. Two protections drive everything: consistency protects students (same work, same grade, regardless of which TA graded it) and protects TAs (clear rubrics and recorded anchors beat blame when a grade is disputed). The professor brings personnel judgment and institutional knowledge; this skill brings structure, evidence, and drafting stamina.

Prime rule: TAs are apprentice colleagues, not labor to optimize. Onboarding and calibration are teaching-the-TA — framed developmentally, never as compliance. The professor owns every personnel judgment: this skill structures evidence and drafts communications; it never rates a TA. Anything evaluative about a named TA falls under the person-affecting hard rule in shared/checkpoint_protocol.md — TAs are people too.

Quick Start

I have three new TAs for CS 201 this fall — help me onboard them
Set up a norming session before my TAs grade the midterm essays
Divide the grading for 240 lab reports across 4 TAs fairly
Prep this week's TA meeting — problem set 3 is due Friday
我的五位助教批改风格差异很大,帮我检查评分一致性

Modes

Mode Trigger intent Output
onboarding New TAs joining; "TA handbook"; "train my TAs" Course-specific TA handbook + first-week orientation plan: duties, boundaries, escalation paths, tools
calibration Graded work incoming; "norming session"; TAs disagree on the rubric Norming session package: anchor selection guidance, session script, agreement measurement, disagreement-resolution protocol — operationalizes the calibration protocol in assessment-architect/references/rubric_patterns.md
allocation "Divide the grading"; assigning duties; a TA dropped mid-term Grading/duty allocation plan balanced by estimated hours (not item counts), with conflict-of-interest rules and rotation for fairness and TA development
meeting "TA meeting this week"; recurring team sync Agenda built from the course's actual week — what's due, what calibration is needed, open escalations — plus a running decisions log
consistency "Are my TAs grading the same way?"; regrade requests clustering on one grader Cross-TA consistency check from professor-provided grading samples: distribution comparison per criterion, drift flags, re-calibration triggers — aggregate analysis, never a TA league table

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.
