si

si is a skill for Claude Code from frankxai/claude-skills-library. It costs 73 tokens per session (722 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A router for choosing between deep reasoning and multi-agent swarm execution based on the wording of a request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for deeply analysing a problem, combining multiple perspectives, applying first-principles reasoning, or explicitly invoking superintelligence workflows.
Why use it?
It helps match the amount and type of analysis to the task, including requests that need several perspectives or first-principles thinking.

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

si 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 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.

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.

/si — Superintelligence Router

Route ANY ask through this 3-step protocol:

Step 1 — Classify intent

Parse $ARGUMENTS for verb. Match against these classes:

Execution verbs (route to: reasoning + swarm)

build, ship, deploy, fix, elevate, create, refactor, migrate, scaffold, wire, sync, audit-and-fix, redesign, rebuild, generate, render

Reasoning verbs (route to: reasoning only)

think, plan, compare, analyze, should, what if, why, evaluate, audit, research, explore, decide

Bare topic (no verb)

Route to: reasoning only, then ASK "Should I dispatch a swarm to execute this?"

Step 2 — Invoke /superintelligence

Always. Pass $ARGUMENTS as the topic. Capture the reasoning output.

Cost: ~5K input + ~3K output tokens, ~$0.05. Cheap enough to always run.

Step 3 — Route based on Step 1 classification

If execution intent

After /superintelligence returns, dispatch the appropriate swarm:

  • "build / scaffold / create / generate" → BUILD lane (e.g., /v BUILD or feature-dev or frankx-website-builder agent)
  • "deploy / ship / sync" → DEPLOY lane (e.g., /v DEPLOY)
  • "fix / refactor / migrate" → FIX lane
  • "elevate / redesign / rebuild" → ELEVATE lane (e.g., /v ELEVATE)
  • "audit-and-fix" → /v ELEVATE
  • Multi-domain ambiguity → ask which lane

If reasoning intent

Return /superintelligence verdict directly. Surface a one-line "Want to execute this?" footer.

If bare topic

Return /superintelligence verdict. Surface explicit "Should I dispatch a swarm to execute this?" question with 3 options (yes-execute / no-thinking-only / scope-first).

Cost discipline

  • Never auto-dispatch a swarm on a bare-topic ask
  • Never skip /superintelligence on execution intent (the framing is the value)
  • Per-invocation cost budget: $0.05 reasoning + variable swarm cost ($0.30-$3 per agent × N agents)
  • Compare to: a pure /v ELEVATE run is ~$1.50-$5 — /si adds $0.05 of reasoning at the front for better orchestration

Anti-patterns

  • Auto-dispatching swarm on every /si call (burns money on tasks that needed only thinking)
  • Skipping /superintelligence on execution (loses multi-perspective framing)
  • Treating /si as an alias for /superintelligence (it's a router, not a duplicate)

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.

si is a skill published in the GitHub repository frankxai/claude-skills-library (47 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 722 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
