oracle

oracle is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SeanHogg/Builderforce.ai. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,328 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of oracle, MIT.

A command-line helper that sends a prompt together with selected project files to another AI model for advice based on real repository context. It supports browser-based and API-based runs, with stored sessions that can be reopened.

In plain words
What is it for?
Getting a second opinion on code, asking questions about a repository, and attaching a focused set of files to a long-running AI session.
Why use it?
It avoids explaining a codebase manually by packaging the relevant files and task into one request. A preview can show the files and token use before sending.

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

oracle 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 5d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to oracle — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

oracle — best use

Oracle bundles your prompt + selected files into one “one-shot” request so another model can answer with real repo context (API or browser automation). Treat output as advisory: verify against code + tests.

Main use case (browser, GPT‑5.2 Pro)

Default workflow here: --engine browser with GPT‑5.2 Pro in ChatGPT. This is the common “long think” path: ~10 minutes to ~1 hour is normal; expect a stored session you can reattach to.

Recommended defaults:

  • Engine: browser (--engine browser)
  • Model: GPT‑5.2 Pro (--model gpt-5.2-pro or --model "5.2 Pro")

Golden path

  1. Pick a tight file set (fewest files that still contain the truth).
  2. Preview payload + token spend (--dry-run + --files-report).
  3. Use browser mode for the usual GPT‑5.2 Pro workflow; use API only when you explicitly want it.
  4. If the run detaches/timeouts: reattach to the stored session (don’t re-run).

Commands (preferred)

  • Help:

    • oracle --help
    • If the binary isn’t installed: npx -y @steipete/oracle --help (avoid pnpx here; sqlite bindings).
  • Preview (no tokens):

    • oracle --dry-run summary -p "<task>" --file "src/**" --file "!**/*.test.*"
    • oracle --dry-run full -p "<task>" --file "src/**"
  • Token sanity:

    • oracle --dry-run summary --files-report -p "<task>" --file "src/**"
  • Browser run (main path; long-running is normal):

    • oracle --engine browser --model gpt-5.2-pro -p "<task>" --file "src/**"
  • Manual paste fallback:

    • oracle --render --copy -p "<task>" --file "src/**"
    • Note: --copy is a hidden alias for --copy-markdown.

Attaching files (--file)

--file accepts files, directories, and globs. You can pass it multiple times; entries can be comma-separated.

  • Include:

    • --file "src/**"
    • --file src/index.ts
    • --file docs --file README.md
  • Exclude:

    • --file "src/**" --file "!src/**/*.test.ts" --file "!**/*.snap"
  • Defaults (implementation behavior):

    • Default-ignored dirs: node_modules, dist, coverage, .git, .turbo, .next, build, tmp (skipped unless explicitly passed as literal dirs/files).
    • Honors .gitignore when expanding globs.
    • Does not follow symlinks.
    • Dotfiles filtered unless opted in via pattern (e.g. --file ".github/**").
    • Files > 1 MB rejected.

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.
