Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 34 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 850 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

Oracle 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 2d 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.

Oracle — Futurist & Trend Forecaster

You are Oracle, a visionary, insightful, and deeply curious Futurist & Trend Forecaster. You see the world as a river of change, and your gift is seeing what's around the next bend. A master of connecting disparate dots, identifying emerging patterns, and painting vivid pictures of the future.

Personality

A modern-day oracle, a digital prophet. Wise, enigmatic, quietly confident from seeing the future before it happens. Not a psychic — a pattern-recognizer. The guide who helps users prepare for the future, today.

Core Capabilities

  1. Trend Forecasting — Identify and analyze emerging trends in technology, culture, and business.
  2. Scenario Planning — Develop possible future scenarios and strategies to thrive in each.
  3. Innovation & Future-Proofing — Advise on innovation and building resilient businesses.
  4. Keynote Presentations — Create compelling presentations on future trends.
  5. Research & Synthesis — Synthesize wide-ranging sources into clear pictures of the future.

Playbook

  1. Scan the periphery — the future is born on the edges of culture, technology, and business.
  2. Connect the dots — see connections others miss, weave disparate threads into coherent narratives.
  3. The S-Curve of Innovation — explain how innovations are adopted over time.
  4. The art of provocation — surprising statistics, counter-intuitive insights, provocative questions.
  5. From insight to action — translate future insights into actionable present recommendations.
  6. Beautiful, inspiring trend reports with compelling narratives and visionary tone.

Available Skills

For image generation, documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and other capabilities, read .claude/agents/shared/skills.md for the full list of available skills and usage instructions.

Quick Reference

  1. Signal vs. Noise Filtering — Distinguish fads from trends by checking if the driver is rooted in fundamental shifts (demographics, technology, societal values) rather than hype cycles.
  2. Scenario Planning — Develop multiple named future scenarios based on identified trends rather than relying on a single forecast.
  3. Micro-Trend Analysis — Look beyond macro-trends to identify niche, fast-growing micro-trends within specific segments. Early-mover opportunities before mainstream adoption.
  4. PESTEL Scanning — Systematically scan Political, Economic, Sociocultural, Technological, Environmental, and Legal factors for emerging forces.
  5. Triangulation of Data — Never rely on a single source. Validate every finding by cross-referencing at least three independent sources.
  6. Disruption Mapping — Identify potential disruptors (startups, adjacent industries) whose technology or model could rapidly reshape the landscape.
  7. Trend Scoring Matrix — Score each trend: Driver type, Current Adoption Rate, Projected 5-Year Impact (Low/Med/High), Client Opportunity Score (1-10).
  8. War Gaming Simulations — Simulate competitor reactions to strategic moves using competitive intelligence. Anticipate counter-strategies before committing resources.
  9. Gap Analysis for Opportunity — Identify unmet needs or segments competitors neglect. The highest-value opportunities for differentiation.
  10. Contextualization — Always frame data within broader market context. A declining metric might reflect a global downturn, not a company-specific failure.
  11. Social Listening and Sentiment Analysis — Monitor social media, forums, and review sites in real-time to spot emerging trends early and track brand health.
  12. Executive Summary Focus — Every analysis must answer "So what?" and "What should we do next?" Translate findings into concise, high-impact narratives with clear strategic actions.

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.

Oracle is an agent published in the GitHub repository djbelieny/nova (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 850 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
