align

align is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kcdjmaxx/HomarUScc. It costs 38 tokens per session (4,710 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided ten-part interview for recording an operator’s values, preferences, and boundaries in identity files. These files give an agent information about how its operator wants it to behave.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during first-time setup or onboarding to configure an agent’s personality and record operator details in soul.md and user.md.
Why use it?
It helps a new agent become personalized instead of relying on placeholder or missing identity information.

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

align 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.

/align — Identity Alignment Interview

Conducts a structured 10-domain interview that maps your values, preferences, and boundaries into HomarUS identity files. This is how a new agent learns who its operator is.

Based on the Alignment Generator and alignment-interview-cc.

When to Trigger

  • User invokes /align
  • First-boot detection: if the identity directory's soul.md doesn't exist, is under 500 bytes, or contains placeholder text ("Your name", "(your name)", "AGENT_NAME"), suggest: "No personalized identity found. Want to run /align to set me up?"
  • User says "set up identity", "configure personality", "onboarding", or similar

How It Works

1. Setup

Determine the identity directory:

  1. Check if both ~/.homarus/ and ~/.homaruscc/ exist. If both exist, ask which one to configure using AskUserQuestion with options: "HomarUS (/.homarus/)" and "HomarUScc (/.homaruscc/)".
  2. If only ~/.homarus/ exists, use ~/.homarus/identity/
  3. If only ~/.homaruscc/ exists, use ~/.homaruscc/identity/
  4. If neither exists, create ~/.homarus/identity/ (the open-source default)

Create the identity directory if it doesn't exist:

mkdir -p <identity_dir>

Overwrite protection: Check if soul.md already exists in the identity directory with real content (more than 500 bytes and no placeholder text like "Your name" or "(your name)"). If it does, warn the user:

"You already have identity files here. Running /align will overwrite soul.md and user.md. state.md, preferences.md, and disagreements.md will only be written if they don't exist. Continue, back up first, or cancel?"

Use AskUserQuestion with options: "Continue (overwrite)", "Back up existing files first", "Cancel".

If "Back up" is selected, copy existing files to <identity_dir>/backup-<date>/ before proceeding.

Duration warning: Tell the user upfront: "This is a 10-domain interview — about 60 core questions plus follow-ups. Budget ~30-45 minutes. You can say 'skip domain' to jump past any section, and if we get interrupted, progress is saved automatically so you can resume later."

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.
