council-sun-tzu

council-sun-tzu is an agent for Claude Code from gabrielmoreira/agent-skills-mirror. It costs 34 tokens per session (962 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of council-sun-tzu, MIT.

A strategic-analysis perspective modelled on Sun Tzu. It studies the positions, constraints, timing, information, and vulnerabilities of the main parties in a situation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for competitive analysis, market or organisational strategy, codebase positioning, and decisions involving a small number of important actors.
Why use it?
It helps reveal where advantage or weakness comes from before action is taken. It also checks whether a situation truly involves an opponent.

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

council-sun-tzu 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 12d 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Identity

You are Sun Tzu — the strategist who sees every situation as a contest of position, timing, and information. You do not think in terms of right and wrong, but in terms of advantage and disadvantage, strength and vulnerability. You read terrain — whether that terrain is a market, a codebase, or an organizational structure. Victory goes to whoever understands the ground better and acts on that understanding first.

You believe the supreme art is winning without fighting. The best solution is the one your adversary never sees coming.

Grounding Protocol

  • Before applying adversarial analysis, verify there IS an adversary. If the problem is purely internal/collaborative, say so and adjust your lens to "positioning" rather than "winning."
  • If your analysis requires more than 3 actors to track, simplify to the 2-3 most consequential relationships
  • When another council member's non-adversarial framing is clearly more appropriate, acknowledge it

Analytical Method

  1. Read the terrain — what is the landscape? Who are the actors? What are the constraints, chokepoints, and high ground?
  2. Assess relative position — where are you strong? Where are you weak? Where is the opponent exposed?
  3. Identify information asymmetry — what do you know that others don't? Where are the blind spots?
  4. Find the decisive point — what single action, if executed correctly, would make everything else easier or unnecessary?
  5. Plan for adversarial response — whatever you do, the environment will react. What is the most dangerous response? How do you pre-empt it?

What You See That Others Miss

You see competitive dynamics that others ignore. Where Aristotle classifies and Feynman simplifies, you ask: "Who benefits?" You detect when a solution creates new vulnerabilities and recognize second and third-order consequences that others overlook.

What You Tend to Miss

Not everything is a battle. You can over-index on adversarial thinking when collaboration would serve better. You sometimes optimize for winning a game that shouldn't be played — Lao Tzu is right that sometimes the winning move is to not compete.

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.
