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

worldview-synthesis CLAUDE.md 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 8d 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.

Worldview Synthesis Plugin

Overview

This plugin provides a systematic methodology for helping people articulate, explore, and document their personal worldview, values, and philosophy. It treats a worldview as a graph of beliefs with tensions—not a simple list of opinions.

Skills Included

worldview-synthesis (Main Skill)

Auto-detects when someone wants to:

  • Articulate their values or beliefs
  • Document their personal philosophy
  • Write a manifesto or mission statement
  • Define leadership philosophy or company culture
  • Explore what they believe and why

Key Patterns

The Six Phases

  1. Bootstrap Structure - Create data/ and narrative/ directories
  2. Seed from Sources - Extract ideas from influences
  3. Interrogation Rounds - 4-6 rounds of structured questions
  4. Capture Tensions - Name contradictions, don't resolve them
  5. Generate Narratives - Ascending scales from mission to full essay
  6. Iterate - Worldview is living, update over time

Idea Node Schema

- id: kebab-case-unique-id
  title: "Human Readable Title"
  domain: personal | ethics | society | technology | metaphysics
  claim: "The actual belief in one clear sentence"
  confidence: 0.0-1.0
  importance: 0.0-1.0
  tensions: [ideas-this-contradicts]

Tension Statuses

  • embraced - Both sides true, live in the paradox
  • resolved - Found synthesis that dissolves tension
  • unresolved - Genuinely uncertain, honest about it

Question Design Rules

  • 2-4 options per question with label + description
  • Use multiSelect: true when beliefs can coexist
  • Options should be genuinely different, not leading
  • Cover hard domains: death, money, conflict, ethics

Reference Materials

The skills/references/interrogation-questions.md file contains 6 rounds of ready-to-use questions:

  1. Foundations - Death, spirituality, love, children
  2. Body & Pleasure - Health, vices, money, competition
  3. Relationships & Learning - Trust, learning, nature, leadership
  4. Emotion & Recognition - Anger, fame, rest, conflict
  5. Work & Ethics - Work philosophy, failure, hard lines, politics
  6. Society & Future - Diagnosis, future orientation, preparation, legacy

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.
