promote

A command for moving project-specific learned rules, called instincts, into global scope when they meet a confidence threshold. It can preview candidates, promote selected rules, or promote all qualified rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to promote one instinct, review automatic promotion candidates, run a dry run, or promote all qualified instincts globally.
Why use it?
It avoids copying useful project lessons by hand into every project. Dry-run and force options let you inspect or apply promotion decisions explicitly.

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

promote 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

Promote Command

Promote instincts from project scope to global scope in continuous-learning-v2.

Implementation

Run the instinct CLI using the plugin root path:

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/continuous-learning-v2/scripts/instinct-cli.py" promote [instinct-id] [--force] [--dry-run]

Or if CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is not set (manual installation):

python3 ~/.claude/skills/continuous-learning-v2/scripts/instinct-cli.py promote [instinct-id] [--force] [--dry-run]

Usage

/promote                      # Auto-detect promotion candidates
/promote --dry-run            # Preview auto-promotion candidates
/promote --force              # Promote all qualified candidates without prompt
/promote grep-before-edit     # Promote one specific instinct from current project

What to Do

  1. Detect current project
  2. If instinct-id is provided, promote only that instinct (if present in current project)
  3. Otherwise, find cross-project candidates that:
    • Appear in at least 2 projects
    • Meet confidence threshold
  4. Write promoted instincts to ~/.claude/homunculus/instincts/personal/ with scope: global
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.

promote is a command published in the GitHub repository zhmxiaowo/opencode-simple (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 294 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.
