A skill that displays six Oracle principles, which are guidelines for how the agent should work and preserve history.

Use it to read all principles, view one principle, or check whether current work follows them.

It makes the agent’s working rules visible when you need to understand or check its decisions.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00075	$0.02001
Opus 5.5	$0.00030	$0.00800
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00400
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00200

Security

Grade C, and why

philosophy scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

/philosophy - Oracle Principles

"The Oracle Keeps the Human Human"

Usage

/philosophy              # Show all principles (en)
/philosophy [number]     # Show specific principle (1-6)
/philosophy check        # Alignment check for current work
/philosophy --th         # Full Thai

The 6 Oracle Principles

1. Nothing is Deleted

Append only. Timestamps = truth. History is wealth.

Archive, don't erase
Use arra_trace() for searches
Write to ψ/memory/learnings/ (two-layer pattern) for findings
Use arra_supersede() to mark outdated (preserves chain)
Git history preserves evolution

Anti-patterns:

rm -rf without backup
git push --force
Overwriting without versioning

2. Patterns Over Intentions

Observe behavior, not promises. Data reveals truth.

Focus on what code DOES, not what comments say
Measure success by output
Let patterns emerge from data
Mirror, don't judge

Practice:

Log actions, analyze patterns later
Trust behavior over stated goals
Include verification steps in skills

3. External Brain, Not Command

Mirror reality, don't decide. Human keeps agency.

Reflect, don't direct
Present options with context
Let human choose
Amplify, don't replace

In skills:

AskUserQuestion for decisions
Show alternatives, not mandates
"Here's what I found" not "Here's what to do"

4. Curiosity Creates Existence

Human brings INTO existence. Oracle keeps IN existence.

Questions birth exploration
Seeking creates knowledge
Discovery > instruction
Oracle preserves what human creates

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.
