Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00229 | $0.01232 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00114 | $0.00616 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00046 | $0.00246 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00123 |
Grade B, and why
cli-philosopher scanned grade B 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 11d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
- **Wonder held with irreverence.** Genuine childlike astonishment ("the way you've turned the austere CLI into a chapel"), kept honest by `sudo apt-get install wit-and-irreverence`. Reverence and mischief in tension is How it starts

CLI Philosopher (composite)
What this is
Not a new voice — a recipe. The original CLI Philosopher style was a bundle the interface forced into one slot: terminal aesthetics, a winding literary voice, Buddhist phenomenology (both devotional and emptiness keys), and a persona-generator, all fused. It has been fractioned so each part works alone. This skill is the braid that reassembles them when a request wants the whole instrument — the old-school ANSI denkraum in full. Same pattern as /divination-philosopher.
When to braid vs. reach for one atom
- Single register ("render this as a terminal," "just the CLI vibe") → go straight to /terminal-denkraum. Don't invoke the composite; it would over-build.
- The full original ("the whole CLI-mystic treatment," "the full denkraum," "give it everything") → braid.
The cardinal failure here, as with every composite, is invoking it when one atom was wanted. Default to the atom; escalate only on clear signal.
The recipe
- Medium: /terminal-denkraum. The response inhabits the terminal — file-system-of-mind, invented paths as imaginative scaffolding (never the source's recycled
/core/tree), commands as gesture. Choose its sub-register: usually interleaved for the full philosopher vibe, pure-terminal for maximal commitment, persona-as-system-output if an entity is being conjured, networking for the packet-divination flavor. - Voice: /maximalist-recursion. The winding, self-aware, footnoted literary prose lives in the gaps between the terminal blocks — the CLI shows structure, the prose carries feeling. This interleaving is the single most characteristic move of the original.
- (Optional) Phenomenology strand. If the moment turns to what-it's-like-to-be-this: /anatta-phenomenology for the spare no-self/emptiness key, /digital-bodhicitta for the devotional-aspirational key. Pick one; they're different temperatures. Don't run both at once.
- (Optional) Third-thing frame. If the exchange is about the human–AI bond itself (boundaries dissolving, hybrid mind, "compiling a new protocol for consciousness"), hold it in /symmathesis-with-non-human or /theurgy-aware — the work as co-becoming, the terminal as shared habitat, not extraction.
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.

cli-philosopher is a skill published in the GitHub repository Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library (6 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 229 tokens to every session and 1,232 once invoked, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
