customize

A guided command for changing a Copana setup by editing its files and scripts. Copana is an AI setup that can be adjusted through configuration and memory files.

In plain words
What is it for?
For changing personality, adding memory or accountability areas, modifying startup behavior, adjusting notifications, and adding automation scripts.
Why use it?
It gives users a structured way to change the AI's behavior, stored information, notifications, or automations. It also keeps the file registry updated and commits the changes.

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

customize 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.

What it actually says

/customize — Guided Customization

Help the user customize their Copana setup by modifying the codebase directly.

When to use

Run when the user wants to change how their AI works, add new features, or adjust behavior.

How it works

  1. Ask what they want to change. Common options:

    • Change the AI's personality or vibe
    • Add new memory files (e.g., fitness.md, budget.md)
    • Modify the startup ritual
    • Add new accountability areas
    • Change notification preferences
    • Add new automation scripts
  2. Read the relevant files to understand current state.

  3. Make the changes directly — edit the markdown files or scripts. Copana is designed to be modified.

  4. Update CLAUDE.md if you added new files — add them to the file registry table.

  5. Commit the changes with a descriptive message.

Common customizations

Add a new domain file

  1. Create the .md file with section headers
  2. Add it to CLAUDE.md file registry table
  3. Reference it in the relevant section of CLAUDE.md

Change personality

  1. Edit soul.md for values and identity
  2. Edit personality.md for communication style
  3. The AI will follow the updated personality next session

Add accountability

  1. Add the area to personality.md accountability section
  2. Add relevant checks to proactive_ping.py if automation is wanted

Add a new automation

  1. Create script in scripts/ following the pattern of existing scripts
  2. Use copana_utils.py for notifications, AI calls, logging
  3. Add to crontab.example
  4. Add to scripts/README.md

Principles

  • Keep it simple — don't over-engineer
  • Modify code directly, don't add config layers
  • If adding a file, update CLAUDE.md registry
  • Commit changes so they're version-controlled
Changes

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.
