fulcra-prefs

fulcra-prefs is a skill for Claude Code from ashfulcra/fulcra-tools. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,235 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A preference-management workflow for loading, applying, and capturing a user's cross-platform preferences and facts in Fulcra. It routes access through a command-line tool, HTTP, or read-only MCP depending on the agent's capabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check authentication and setup, load compiled preferences for a platform, onboard a user, install hooks, and capture new preference information.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a repeatable way to start with the user's existing preferences and save new ones instead of relying only on the current conversation.

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 B, and why

fulcra-prefs scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

fulcra-prefs

The user's preferences and facts live in their Fulcra account as typed, decaying signals, compiled into per-platform preference documents. Your job: LOAD them at session start, APPLY them, and CAPTURE new ones.

Where to start — the re-entrancy probes

Before loading anything, probe how far this user already got. Enter at the first row whose probe fails:

Probe (run in order) Command Passes when If it fails, enter at
Authed? fulcra user-info exits 0 and prints valid JSON Pick your path — install, then fulcra auth login
Onboarded? fulcra-prefs compile (an idempotent write — also drains queued captures; safe anytime) exits 0 (compiled N keys …); exit 2 with not onboarded means no definition / prefs/meta.json yet Onboarding a new user — fulcra-prefs onboard
Prefs present? fulcra-prefs inject --platform <your-platform> non-empty output (a rendered preference block) Pick your path tier-1 capture — nothing to load yet; start capturing
Hooks installed? grep -q fulcra-prefs-hooks ~/.claude/settings.json (or ~/.codex/hooks.json; custom --target-dir installs won't match this grep) exits 0 — a managed SessionStart/capture hook is wired Onboarding a new user — fulcra-prefs install-hooks --platform <claude-code|codex>

First failure wins. Hooks are optional: a CLI-capable agent runs inject/capture by hand without them, so a hookless-but-onboarded user is fully usable — the last row only tells you whether load/capture is automatic. All four pass → inject at session start already carries their prefs; apply them and capture new ones.

Pick your path

  1. You can run shell commands → use the CLI. Setup once: uv tool install fulcra-prefs (and fulcra auth login if not authed).
    • Load: fulcra-prefs inject --platform <your-platform> → prepend output to your working context. Empty output = no prefs yet; continue silently.
    • Capture: fulcra-prefs capture --key <ns.key> --value '<json>' --strength <-1..1> --platform <your-platform> (see references/fulcra-prefs-capture.md for when and what to capture).
    • Auto-capture: notice preferences passively and record them in one call at session end — fulcra-prefs capture-batch --file <json-array> --platform <your-platform>; mark inferred items lower confidence (compile won't let a guess override an explicit pref). See the capture reference.
    • Text extraction: when you have raw user text but not a hand-built key/value, run fulcra-prefs extract-candidates --platform <your-platform> --session <session_id> --text '<user text>' --write. It only queues explicit preference language; lifecycle hooks still perform the capture.
    • Hooked auto-capture: if fulcra-prefs install-hooks --platform <your-platform> is installed, write candidates during the session to ~/.local/state/fulcra-prefs/candidates/<your-platform>/<session_id>.json; the lifecycle hook drains that file through capture-batch. Prefer the helper command: fulcra-prefs notice --platform <your-platform> --session <session_id> --key <ns.key> --value '<json>' --strength <n>.
    • Refresh: fulcra-prefs compile (run after captures; cheap).
  2. You can make HTTP requests but not run commands → follow references/fulcra-prefs-tier2-http.md (device-flow auth + direct API).
  3. You only have the Fulcra MCP → you can read user data the MCP exposes, but preference write/read of the compiled docs is not available via MCP today. Tell the user to run onboarding from a CLI-capable agent.

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.
