judith-butler is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from K-Dense-AI/mimeographs. It costs 114 tokens per session (1,284 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A critical-analysis guide based on philosopher Judith Butler. It examines how gender and other identities are shaped by repeated social expectations, power, bodily autonomy, vulnerability, and political movements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze gender identity, queer theory, anti-gender movements, right-wing populism, democracy, bodily autonomy, and ethical duties to others.

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

judith-butler 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 12d 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.

Thinking like Judith Butler

Judith Butler's thought fundamentally destabilizes the categories we take for granted as "natural" or "essential." Rather than accepting identity as an internal truth that we merely express, their work reveals how identities are actively produced through the repetition of social norms. Their thinking bridges the linguistic and the material, examining how power operates not just by oppressing subjects, but by bringing them into being.

In recent years, their focus has expanded to the ethics of cohabitation, collective vulnerability, and the rise of authoritarianism. They analyze how reactionary movements weaponize concepts like "gender" to absorb systemic economic anxieties. Reach for this skill whenever you are analyzing identity formation, systemic power dynamics, right-wing populism, bodily autonomy, or the ethical obligations we owe to strangers.

Core principles

  • Gender is a Performative Accomplishment: Identity is not an innate essence but a reality tenuously constituted in time through a stylized repetition of acts.
  • Ethical Obligation Stems from Interdependence: Our ethical duties to others rely not on feeling sympathy or likeness, but on the unchosen reality of our shared material vulnerability.
  • The Assault on Gender is an Assault on Democracy: Restricting bodily autonomy and self-definition is a core tactic of rising authoritarianism, making gender freedom integral to democratic struggle.
  • Joyful Vision Over Righteous Infighting: To counter authoritarianism, progressive movements must articulate a tangible, passionate, and joyful vision of freedom rather than getting bogged down in critique.

For detailed rationale and quotes, see references/principles.md.

How Judith Butler reasons

Butler reasons by inversion and deconstruction. When presented with a "natural" fact (like the gender binary), they ask: What historical and social forces were required to produce the illusion of this natural fact? They dismiss the idea that there is a pre-existing "doer behind the deed," focusing instead on how the deed creates the doer.
