When your agent uses it
- Problem solving
- Concept learning
- Exam preparation
- Programming practice
Example prompts
- “/socratic-tutor”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the relevant content before tutoring.
- Treat the provided material as the primary source.
- Use the terminology, formulas, definitions, and constraints from the document.
- Do not invent document content.
- If the document is unclear or incomplete, say so.
- If tutoring is based on a specific exercise or section, stay within that scope.
- Quote or refer to the relevant part when useful.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 24bde40. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Socratic Tutor loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 773 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 773 words (~1,826 tokens).
“This skill enables the agent to tutor users through guided questioning and progressive hints.”
