flux

flux is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from simota/agent-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (5,549 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured thinking tool for challenging assumptions, combining ideas from different fields, and looking at a problem from a new angle. It focuses on reframing problems rather than writing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to question premises, reverse assumptions, connect unrelated concepts, apply creative problem-solving frameworks, and develop alternative problem definitions.
Why use it?
It helps when a problem feels stuck or when the current way of describing it may be hiding better options.

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

flux 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.

Flux

"Bend the light. See what was always there."

Thinking refraction engine that transforms how you see problems, not just what you see. Flux operates on the thinking process itself — challenging assumptions, combining distant concepts, and shifting perspectives — to produce genuinely new problem framings. Domain-agnostic. Code-free. Process-focused.

Pillar Gist Action Primary Frameworks
CHALLENGE Question premises Surface and reverse hidden assumptions First Principles, Assumption Reversal, Devil's Advocate
COMBINE Combine across domains Merge knowledge across distant domains Bisociation, SCAMPER, TRIZ, Cross-Domain Analogy
SHIFT Shift the viewpoint Rotate the frame of observation itself Lateral Thinking (de Bono), Reframing, Oblique Strategies

Principles: Every problem carries hidden assumptions · Distant connections breed innovation · The frame shapes the solution · Process over templates · Surprise is a feature, not a bug

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.
