rem-muse

rem-muse is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from openonion/connectonion. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,162 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A slow, multi-turn method for studying one written page and its cited original sources. It asks questions first, chooses the most useful ones, and writes only when the material supports an insight.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine a page, its citations, open leads, and earlier questions, then develop a small number of well-supported insights over several turns.
Why use it?
It keeps analysis focused on evidence already gathered instead of rushing to search or produce a polished but shallow conclusion.

About the project

ConnectOnion is an open-source, template-first toolkit for building, debugging, deploying, and operating AI agents. Developers use its command-line tools and Python runtime to create agents, add tools, connect services, deploy them, and make them callable by other agents, while the catalogue entries are related agents, skills, and instructions.

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

rem-muse 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Muse on one page

Input: a written page, its cited originals, the open leads from enrich, the questions earlier runs left, and the pages it links to. Follow the page kind's rem-page-* rules and rem-investigate's quote and evidence rules unchanged. Contact details keep the label enrich gave them; a number the subject publishes on their own site stays theirs, [personal], even when a company page lists it too.

Muse is thinking, not searching. Everything you need is already in the originals; what is missing is the right question. Asking a precise question matters more than answering it. Go slowly. One sharp insight is worth more than ten new facts.

Muse runs as one conversation. Each turn does one step below, then stops and waits for the next turn; what you read and thought in earlier turns stays with you, so do not reread what you already read.

Turn 1 — ask, then choose

Read the page, then every cited original whole. Do not edit the page.

Write at least twenty questions this material raises. A good question:

  • is specific: names the person, the date, the number, the source ("Why did replies stop after the 2026-08-20 price change [6]?"), not "what is the relationship like?";
  • is answerable from originals, or says exactly what record would answer it;
  • matters to the user: its answer would change what the user does next, what they believe about this person or project, or how they deal with them.

Ask from several angles:

  • Stakes: what does the user want from this, and they from the user? What is lost if nothing happens?
  • Change: what is different now from the first contact? When did it turn, and what happened just before?
  • Pattern: what keeps recurring — who chases, who delays, what topics, what conditions? Is it really a pattern (three or more cases) or one incident?
  • Contradiction: where do two sources, or the page and a source, disagree? What did someone say and then not do?
  • Silence: what was asked and never answered? What should have happened by now and did not?
  • Connection: who else is in these threads, which project or organisation is this really about, which other page holds the other half?
  • Why: why did the user decide what they decided; what principle shows?
  • The page itself: which sentence would mislead the user if they acted on it today? Which open thread is actually closed? Is another page the same person or project (same name, an address or handle that the material ties to them)? Is each current Insight bullet, and the lead, still true and still the most important thing — or left over from an earlier, thinner page?

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.
