instinct-status

instinct-status is a command for coding agents from sifxprime/kodelyth-ecc. It costs 14 tokens per session (367 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that displays the learned project-specific and global working preferences, grouped by topic with confidence and observation details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing learned project conventions, comparing them with global preferences, and checking how confident the agent is in each one.
Why use it?
It makes stored preferences visible so you can check what the agent has learned and which settings take priority.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside the plugin that ships it — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed.

Install

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

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 yesterday.

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

Instinct Status Command

Shows learned instincts for the current project plus global instincts, 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

What to Do

  1. Detect current project context (git remote/path hash)
  2. Read project instincts from ~/.claude/homunculus/projects/<project-id>/instincts/
  3. Read global instincts from ~/.claude/homunculus/instincts/
  4. Merge with precedence rules (project overrides global when IDs collide)
  5. Display grouped by domain with confidence bars and observation stats

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.
