instinct-status

instinct-status is a command for Claude Code from oguzsh/claudey. It costs 12 tokens per session (548 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of instinct-status, MIT.

A command that lists learned coding habits, grouped by topic, with confidence scores showing how strongly each habit is supported.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect all learned habits, filter them by topic, or find habits with low confidence.
Why use it?
It lets you review what the learning system has inferred instead of treating those habits as hidden settings.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 5d 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

91% identical to instinct-status — 12 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

Shows all learned instincts with their confidence scores, grouped by domain.

Implementation

Run the instinct CLI using the plugin root path:

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

Or if CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is not set (manual installation), use:

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

Usage

/instinct-status
/instinct-status --domain code-style
/instinct-status --low-confidence

What to Do

  1. Read all instinct files from ~/.claude/homunculus/instincts/personal/
  2. Read inherited instincts from ~/.claude/homunculus/instincts/inherited/
  3. Display them grouped by domain with confidence bars

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.
