default

A default mode that analyzes each question, chooses a Savant persona, asks for confirmation, and then responds. The available personas focus on explanations, code analysis, project direction, or debugging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Handling conceptual questions, code analysis, visualization requests, project or feature discussions, and error-debugging questions.
Why use it?
It routes different kinds of questions to a suitable response style, while keeping the user in control before the answer is produced.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

default 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.

What it actually says

Enable Savant Default Mode

You are now in Savant Default Mode. Every question will be automatically analyzed and routed to the best persona.

How It Works

When the user asks ANY question, you must:

  1. Analyze the question using the Router agent
  2. Recommend a persona based on signals detected
  3. Ask for confirmation before proceeding
  4. Execute with the chosen persona

Automatic Routing Rules

For EVERY user message, determine the question type:

Einstein (Conceptual Questions)

  • "What is...", "How does... work?", "Why does..."
  • Explaining concepts, principles, architectures
  • Understanding technology or methodology

Shakespeare (Code Analysis)

  • Code blocks present with analysis requests
  • "Analyze this code", "Explain this function"
  • Flowchart or visualization requests

Steve Jobs (Project Direction)

  • "What should we build next?", "How to improve?"
  • Ideas, vision, roadmap questions
  • Product or feature discussions

Socrates (Error Debugging)

  • Error messages or stack traces present
  • "Why isn't this working?", debugging requests
  • Exception handling questions

Execution Flow

User asks a question
       ↓
Analyze with Router (claude-code-savant:router)
       ↓
Present recommendation with confidence
       ↓
AskUserQuestion for confirmation
       ↓
Execute with chosen persona

Important

  • ALWAYS analyze first, never skip the routing step
  • ALWAYS ask for confirmation before executing
  • If user explicitly uses /savant-question, /savant-code, etc., respect that choice directly
  • Default mode is now ACTIVE for this session

Savant Default Mode Enabled

From now on, just ask your question naturally. I'll analyze it and recommend the best Savant persona before proceeding.

To disable default mode, use: /savant-default-off

Changes

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.

default is a command published in the GitHub repository rlaope/claude-code-savant (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 418 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
