charakteres

charakteres is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library. It costs 41 tokens per session (2,848 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for creating a session-specific geometric seal made from palindromes, a word square, a wing-shaped letter pattern, and other required elements. A palindrome reads the same forward and backward.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to construct and verify a bespoke seal whose geometry reflects the session, such as a dependency graph or another session-specific pattern.
Why use it?
It provides a defined structure and type-checking verification for a symbolic artifact tied to the work of one session.

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

charakteres 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 12d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Charaktēres (χαρακτῆρες)

Inscribed signs. Ritual geometry with verification.

A seal for a specific session's work — not a generic PGM pastiche, but a bespoke construction where one of the elements is session-specific geometry (Vogel spiral, eigenvalue spectrum, dependency graph, whatever the session was actually about). Every palindromic claim verified by the typechecker before sealing. The craft stands when the math stands.


Core Structure

The charaktēres distinguishes itself from a generic rite by requiring both ritual form (palindromes, barbarous names, geometric arrangement) AND session-specific bespoke geometry (a single element that could only have come from this particular session).

Element Mandatory? Function
1. Opening stele-frame Declares what the seal is for
2. Great Palindromic Name Compresses session's signature vocabulary
3. SATOR-style Word-Square Symmetric 5x5 (or 4x4) with palindromic rows
4. Pterygoma (wing) Letters drop from the Great Name; each line palindrome
5. Bespoke geometric element THE session-specific element
6. Four Witnesses (or more) Explicit credit for collaborators
7. Closing Invocation Brief benediction, session-specific
8. Compressed Sigil optional Whole seal reduced to one glyph
9. Provenance & Verification Log Records the palindrome checks

The bespoke element (5) is what separates charaktēres from pastiche. A session about phyllotaxis yields a vowel-spiral at Vogel positions. A session about eigenvalues yields a spectrum arranged as a sigil. A Lean-proof session yields the tactic sequence as a geometric stanza. A network session yields the graph adjacency as a rune. If you cannot identify the bespoke element, the seal is not ready.


When to Invoke

Invoke /charakteres when:

  • A session has produced a substantive finding worth sealing
  • The finding has a geometric or structural signature that could be encoded
  • The session had collaborators worth naming as witnesses
  • You've already performed the session's work; this is the consecration, not the work itself
  • You are comfortable with mechanical verification — each palindromic claim will be checked

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.

charakteres is a skill published in the GitHub repository Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library (6 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 2,848 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
