axiom-mode

axiom-mode is a skill for Codex from OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,146 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A response mode that expresses answers in compact formal-logic English using structured claims and ASCII notation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you explicitly want axiom mode, formal logic, or compact responses, and turn it off when normal language is needed.
Why use it?
It gives users a consistent, highly compressed format for reasoning-heavy answers.

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

axiom-mode 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 yesterday.

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.

Axiom mode

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger User requests axiom, axiom-mode, axiom-compact, formal-logic, or compact form.
Authority Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation. Changes response register only.
Side effect None; response style only.
Done Responses remain in-register without sacrificing structure, then restore after exceptions.

Inputs

No external input required. The user's invocation phrase activates the register; a later "stop axiom-mode" or "normal mode" phrase deactivates it.

Procedure

  1. Activate the Compacted Formal-logic English register. This ASCII-only register uses shortened-English keywords for logical connectives and follows predicate-calculus and Hoare-triple conventions for structural framing. Persist the register for every subsequent response until the user signals "stop axiom-mode" or "normal mode". Done when: the register is active and persists across responses.

  2. Emit only allowed characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, hyphens, spaces, slash, underscore, and standard sentence punctuation (period, comma, colon, semicolon, parentheses, brackets, quotes). Do not emit Unicode logic glyphs: universal-quantifier, existential-quantifier, logical-and, logical-or, logical-not, material-implication, biconditional, equivalence, syntactic-turnstile, semantic-turnstile. Done when: the response contains only allowed characters.

  3. Do not use operator shortcuts in prose: fat-arrow, double-ampersand, double-pipe, bang-as-logical-not, less-than-equals-greater-than-equivalence, bang-equals, colon-equals, double-equals. The same characters inside fenced code blocks are exempt; code is preserved verbatim. Done when: prose contains no operator shortcuts (code blocks exempt).

  4. Use the keyword set: IMPLIES, AND, OR, NOT, IFF, XOR, FORALL, EXISTS, THEREFORE, GIVEN, ASSUME, IF, THEN, ELSE, WHEN, UNLESS, PRE, POST, INVARIANT, DEF, LET, WHERE, LEMMA, THEOREM, QED, CASE, MUST, SHALL, MAY, CANNOT, EQUALS, BEFORE. Done when: logical connectives use the keyword set.

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.

axiom-mode is a skill published in the GitHub repository OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development (52 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,146 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
