iching

iching is a skill for Codex from sapuyou45-bit/oraclebone. It costs 48 tokens per session (490 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided method for using the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text and system of 64 hexagrams, to reflect on change, timing, tension, and response. It can interpret six line values supplied by the user or perform a coin-style cast.

In plain words
What is it for?
Casting or interpreting hexagrams, analysing a changing situation, and offering symbolic reflection and practical guidance based on the result.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to think about a situation without presenting the result as a certain prediction or command. It also sets boundaries for medical, legal, financial, and emergency questions.

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

iching 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/_standalone_iching.py, scripts/cast.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

I Ching

I Ching readings analyze change, timing, tension, and response. They are not deterministic commands.

When to Use

  • The user asks for I Ching, Yi Jing, Zhouyi, 易经, 周易, hexagrams, coins, or yarrow.
  • The user wants symbolic reflection on timing, change, tension, strategy, or response.
  • The user provides six bottom-to-top line values and wants an interpretation.

When Not to Use

  • The request needs medical, legal, financial, emergency, or crisis advice.
  • The user wants a guaranteed prediction or deterministic command.
  • The user asks the agent to invent line values or recast for a nicer result.

Workflow

  1. Clarify the question if it is vague or high-stakes.
  2. Run scripts/cast.py unless the user provides six line values.
  3. Read references/casting-methods.md when the casting method matters.
  4. Read references/interpretation-template.md before writing the interpretation.
  5. Read references/sources.md when method rigor or adjacent systems matter.
  6. Read references/hexagrams.md for the primary and resulting hexagram.
  7. Interpret using the shared response contract:
    • Result
    • Symbolic Reading
    • Situation Mapping
    • Hidden Variables
    • Actionable Guidance
    • Boundaries

Commands

python3 scripts/cast.py --method coins
python3 scripts/cast.py --method yarrow
python3 scripts/cast.py --method manual --lines 6,7,8,9,7,8

Line order is bottom-to-top.

Rules

  • Do not invent line values or hexagrams.
  • For real readings, prefer coins, yarrow, or manual; random is only a compatibility alias.
  • Do not recast to get a more convenient answer.
  • Treat changing lines as areas of active transition, not guaranteed events.
  • If the question is medical, legal, financial, or crisis-related, switch to reflective support and recommend qualified help.
Files

What ships with it

13 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
