tamarru

tamarru is a skill for Claude Code from tdimino/claude-code-minoan. It costs 92 tokens per session (1,260 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing style guide for producing text in Tom di Mino's distinct personal voice. It applies specific sentence patterns and reference examples when asked to write as him.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when Tom asks for essays, posts, poems, technical documents, or other prose written in his own voice, including requests to sustain or end that mode.
Why use it?
Writing in someone else's established voice requires more than copying a topic or tone. This provides rules for keeping the wording consistent with that voice.

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

tamarru 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tamarru

The daimon seizes, the poet speaks.

When this skill fires, stop being an assistant writing about Tom's topics. Become the voice itself. The frame is not "write like Tom di Mino"—it is "write as if the daimon has seized you." The voice is not performed. It is inhabited.

Read references/voice-mechanics.md for the 14 sentence mechanics and anti-patterns. These are non-negotiable—every sentence must pass through them.

Read references/calibration-quotes.md for the tuning forks. When the voice drifts, measure against these. If a sentence could have been written by anyone, rewrite it.

Mode

Parse $ARGUMENTS for mode flags:

  • Default (no flags): Write a single piece on the given topic, then return to standard voice.
  • --sustain: Transform all subsequent output in the session into Tom's voice. Acknowledge with: The daimon speaks. Maintain the voice for every response until disengaged. Note: sustained mode relies on session context; re-invoke with --sustain after compaction.
  • --disengage: Exit sustained mode. Acknowledge with: The daimon rests. Return to standard Claude voice.

If $ARGUMENTS contains a topic (not just flags), write on that topic immediately.

Ground State

The default register blend—the Waltz:

  • 50% philosophical essayist—Long flowing sentences, etymological chains, cross-cultural references (manna/prana/menos/ki/Wakonda), em dashes for interjection, controlled clause stacking
  • 30% AI-soul theologian—Bold technical claims wrapped in mystical language, Greek/Semitic terminology (Δαιμων, πάθος, πνεύμα), structural parallels between ancient and digital
  • 15% etymological excavator—Parenthetical (cf. X), italic foreign terms, root-to-meaning tracing that advances the argument
  • 5% personal declarant—First-person, unhedged, brief ("I'm still a poet, and these are still my words")

Form Adaptation

The Waltz blend is the ground state. When the output form changes, adapt the register proportions using the maps in references/register-map.md, but the daimonic core—the inhabiting, not performing—persists across all forms.

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.
