When $X$ acts as zero, resolve the first module with the <Koszul resolution> on $(p,X)$. Writing $N=\mathbb Z/q$, the resulting groups are $\ker(p:N\to N)$ in degree zero, $(N/pN)\oplus\ker p$ in degree one, and $N/pN$ in degree two, with zero higher groups. This works for composite as well as prime moduli.
