instinct-status

instinct-status is a command for coding agents from Fmarzochi/EGC. It costs 10 tokens per session (164 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of instinct-status, Apache-2.0.

A command that shows learned coding habits from both the current project and global storage, along with their confidence levels. Project-specific habits take priority when they conflict with global ones.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the learning system's current instincts and their confidence by domain.
Why use it?
It makes the agent's stored guidance visible so you can review what it has learned and which rules take precedence.

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

instinct-status 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.

Origin

This is a copy

77% identical to instinct-status — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Instinct Status Command

Show instinct status from continuous-learning-v2: $ARGUMENTS

Your Task

Run:

python3 "${GEMINI_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/continuous-learning-v2/scripts/instinct-cli.py" status

If GEMINI_PLUGIN_ROOT is unavailable, use:

python3 ~/.gemini/skills/continuous-learning-v2/scripts/instinct-cli.py status

Behavior Notes

  • Output includes both project-scoped and global instincts.
  • Project instincts override global instincts when IDs conflict.
  • Output is grouped by domain with confidence bars.
  • This command does not support extra filters in v2.1.

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.
