realign

realign is a skill for Claude Code from jongwony/epistemic-protocols. It costs 19 tokens per session (6,100 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-direction guide that compares the direction already written down, signals from outside sources, and the user's current understanding, then helps combine them into one agreed line.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review and update a project guide's direction with `/realign`.
Why use it?
It helps when the project's written direction no longer matches new information or what the team thinks the project is doing.

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

realign 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.

Realign Skill

Project Direction Horizon Fusion — when the user wants the project guide's direction line to remain a faithful fusion of (i) what is currently inscribed, (ii) what externally surfaced direction signals jointly testify, and (iii) what the user presently pre-understands the project to be doing, scan and elicit each horizon, propose a fused candidate with a per-horizon transformation trace, shape the candidate through dialectical exchange, and write the confirmed line back to the project guide. Type: (HorizonsUnfused, AI, INDUCE-with-fusion, ThreeHorizons) → FusedDirection.

Invoke directly with /realign when the project guide's current direction line no longer fuses with the external work landscape and the user's present sense of the project.

Definition

Realign (Periagoge specialization, "fusing horizons"): A dialogical act of resolving the unfusion of three horizons — the project guide's currently inscribed direction, externally surfaced direction signals from configured channels, and the user's present pre-understanding — into a single recognized direction line, where AI scans the inscribed direction and the configured channels, elicits the user's pre-understanding as a separate horizon (not as an attribute list of the channel signals), composes a fusion candidate with a per-horizon trace marking what was preserved, what was transformed, and what was dropped in each horizon, shapes the candidate through dialectical moves, and inscribes the confirmed line back to the project guide. Direction mutation belongs to the user's per-step verdict and final confirmation acts.

This skill is a Periagoge family extension. Generic Periagoge (/induce) crystallizes an unnamed essence from an instance set into a session-text abstraction. Realign narrows the instance axis to three named horizons (each independently surfaced) and extends the output axis with a fusion trace plus a writable project-guide line update. The dialectical triangulation core is preserved (Phase 2 candidate shaping carries its own widen / narrow / fuse / reorient / confirm / dismiss vocabulary, defined in this file at Phase 2 and in LOOP), but the pre-shaping step adds a verifiable per-horizon fusion trace and the post-confirmation step adds a write that crosses the preserves/mutates boundary that /induce itself respects.

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.

realign is a skill published in the GitHub repository jongwony/epistemic-protocols (160 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 6,100 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 2026-08-30.
