triangulate-me

triangulate-me is a skill for Codex from jon-devlapaz/tink-skills. It costs 58 tokens per session (988 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for examining a claim through three readings: a faithful interpretation, a strengthened interpretation, and a stress test. It then identifies the central issue and shows where the evidence supports or weakens agreement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to pressure-test interpretations, clarify the main decision or assumption, and compare plausible readings of evidence-sensitive claims.
Why use it?
It helps separate what someone actually said from stronger assumptions, expose the key disagreement, and reach a conclusion without pretending that unsupported views are equally sound.

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

triangulate-me 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 4d 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.

Triangulate Me

Sharpen the user's meaning without replacing it. Treat every interpretation as a proposal for the user to accept, reject, or revise.

Invariant:

  • Ground every interpretation in the user's expressed language and context; exclude unstated motives, emotions, or psychological speculation.
  • Weight reads by evidence; empirical measurements and concrete harm barriers strictly outweigh aesthetic preference, precedent, or unverified assertion.
  • Avoid false compromise; endorse well-supported positions directly, revise both sides, or preserve genuine value conflicts without manufacturing midpoint compromises or artificial objections.
  • Confine actions to analysis and diagnostics; wait for explicit user approval before planning, code modification, or execution.

1. Triage and isolate the claim

  • Fast-path: If the input is an acknowledgement, logistics, or has no substantive interpretive gap, respond directly and stop without running the frame.
  • Isolate the single active claim, choice, or assumption doing the work. Split independent claims and handle them separately.
  • Inspect accessible facts autonomously; ask the user only for uninspectable context, judgments, or private preferences.

Complete when: Exactly one active claim, choice, or assumption is isolated, or a direct fast-path response is emitted.

2. Differentiate interpretations

  1. Faithful read — Restate only what the answer explicitly commits to, keeping every meaning-changing qualifier intact.
  2. Steel read — Construct the strongest coherent interpretation supported by context; make any agent-added premise explicit and labeled.
  3. Stress read — Name the weakest plausible vulnerability supported by the answer, or state that none exists.

Load references/reasoning-foundations.md to calibrate charity, adversarial plausibility, and differentiation.

Complete when: All three reads are bounded by stated evidence and agent premises are explicitly labeled.

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.
