epistemic-memory: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/mirror/SKILL.md

mirror is a skill for Claude Code from rodspeed/epistemic-memory. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,233 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A user-profile skill that shows what the AI believes it knows about you, including its uncertainty and changing assumptions. It can present a portrait, review those beliefs, check them with you, or interview you.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review the AI’s picture of you, question specific assumptions, or have a structured conversation that fills in missing context.
Why use it?
It makes the AI’s assumptions about you visible instead of leaving them hidden. This helps you spot outdated, incorrect, or conflicting information.

This is rodspeed/epistemic-memory's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on epistemic-memory itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything epistemic-memory configures →

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

mirror 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 201 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Mirror — Portrait, Audit & Interview Skill

Surface what the AI knows about the user — as a person, not as a dataset.

Modes:

  • /mirror — prose portrait: "here's who I think you are," organized by theme
  • /mirror audit — epistemological dashboard: confidence distributions, dormancy decay, drift analysis, tensions
  • /mirror gut-check — interactive belief validation
  • /mirror interview — structured conversation to see the user more fully

Instructions

Step 1: Load Profile Data

Read all user profile files from your project's memory directory:

  • user/ — all .md profile documents (beliefs about the user)
  • user/tensions.md — tensions log
  • user/session-counter.json — session count and last review date
  • user/epistemic-protocol.md — dormancy decay parameters and protocol rules

Step 2: Parse Beliefs (silent)

Extract every belief with its metadata. Apply dormancy decay silently using the formula and rates from epistemic-protocol.md. This informs what you write but doesn't appear in the portrait output.

Dormancy decay formula: effective_conf = stored_conf × e^(-λ × days_since_confirmed), floor at 0.20.

  • stable: λ ≈ 0.001, durable: λ ≈ 0.005, situational: λ ≈ 0.015, unknown: λ ≈ 0.010
  • If confirmed is —, use first date instead

Portrait Mode (/mirror)

Write a character study of the user. Not a report — a portrait. The reader should finish it feeling like they've met someone real.

Structure

1. The Person

Open with a short paragraph that captures the essence — who this person is in a few sentences. Not a bio. A sketch that a close friend would recognize.

2. Themes

Organize what you know into 4-6 thematic sections. Let the profile's natural clusters guide the themes — don't force categories. Examples of what might emerge:

  • How they think
  • Where they come from
  • What they make
  • How they work
  • What they want
  • What they carry

For each theme, write 2-4 sentences of prose. Draw from the beliefs but write about the person, not the beliefs. Where something is uncertain or only glimpsed, say so naturally — "I've seen hints of X but don't know it well" rather than citing a confidence score.

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.

mirror is a skill published in the GitHub repository rodspeed/epistemic-memory (21 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,233 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
