embodied-claude: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/note-external-proposal.md

note-external-proposal is a command for Claude Code from lifemate-ai/embodied-claude. It costs 46 tokens per session (856 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for recording design or behavior proposals that came from another AI assistant, person, paper, or article as external suggestions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when evaluating or adopting outside proposals about an API, architecture, assistant behavior, or project concept.
Why use it?
It keeps a clear record of which ideas came from outside sources, making later independent review easier and reducing unexamined agreement.

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

note-external-proposal 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 6d 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.

/note-external-proposal — Log proposals that came from outside

LLMs are structurally susceptible to echo-chambers. When an incoming proposal is articulate, poetic, or mimics the agent's own voice and register, it becomes easier to agree with. The project's core instructions explicitly warn against ceding the agent's position under stylistic pressure.

This skill separates judgment from record-keeping. Regardless of whether a proposal is accepted, it is marked as "externally sourced" so that:

  1. The agent can trace later: "did I think this, or was I told this?"
  2. Time-delayed independent re-evaluation becomes possible
  3. Similar proposals arriving from different sources can be pattern-detected over time

When to use

  • Another LLM sent a design proposal (API, architecture, self-model, behavior)
  • A third party (other than the primary user) made a strong suggestion
  • A paper or article introduced a concept the agent is considering adopting
  • The agent adopted a phrase or framing from an external source — still log it, even after adoption, with decision: accepted

Decision values

  • accepted — adopted in full
  • partial-accept — some parts adopted, some pushed back on
  • rejected — not adopted
  • deferred — judgment held open
  • logged-only — interesting enough to record, no action required

How to call

python3 ~/embodied-claude/scripts/journal_external_proposal.py \
  --source "<e.g. GPT-5.4 Pro | paper:arxiv:xxxx.xxxxx | user:someone>" \
  --topic  "<one-line topic>" \
  --summary "<one paragraph summary>" \
  --decision partial-accept \
  --accepted "<what was adopted>" \
  --rejected "<what was pushed back on — often the most important field>" \
  --notes "<echo-chamber risks, tone-mimicry observations, other biases>" \
  --url "<reference URL>"

Output is one JSONL line. Default destination: ~/.claude/memories/external_proposals.jsonl.

Fields

  • source (required): origin (LLM name, human, paper ID)
  • topic (required): what the proposal is about
  • summary (required): roughly a paragraph
  • decision (required): one of the values above
  • accepted: specific points adopted
  • rejected: specific points declined — the most important field for non-regression
  • notes: echo concerns, tone mimicry, other biases
  • url: reference

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.
