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 | $0.00083 | $0.01795 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00033 | $0.00718 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00359 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00179 |
Grade A, and why
dialogical 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 1mo 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/dialogical
Lineage: adapted from agents/dialogical-coder.md in Lin & Corley's interpretive-orchestration plugin. Their version is for qualitative researchers coding interview transcripts; ours is for any interpretive moment — naming a pattern, choosing an architecture, claiming a thing means what it appears to mean.
Description
A structured counter-skill to generation. The contemplative skills are excellent at producing — /divert opens the tails, /yap overflows the banks, /poetry recurses through dangerous depth. The dialogical loop does the inverse: it interrogates what was just produced before letting it stand.
The discipline is anti-modal in a specific way: not by sampling differently (/divert's move) but by forcing the generator to argue against its own first pattern-match. The mood is Socratic, not destructive. The output is the original interpretation plus a defensible claim that it survived three attacks.
When to Invoke
- After any pattern-match that will anchor downstream work ("this is X type of bug", "this is a Y refactor", "the user means Z")
- After a
/voicesreply that came out a little too smoothly — smooth reception is a smell - When a hook or memory flags that a previous similar call went wrong
- Inside
/sandwichStage 2 on the first non-trivial decision - When the human asks "are you sure?" — instead of either capitulating or doubling down, run the loop
Do NOT invoke for:
- Genuinely settled facts (file paths that exist, function signatures that are documented)
- Aesthetic/contemplative outputs that should not be defended (a poem is not a hypothesis)
- Time-critical decisions where the cost of delay exceeds the cost of being wrong
The Four Stages
Stage 1 — Map
State the pattern-match in one sentence. What did I just claim or recognize? Use the verb that fits the epistemic mood:
- Constructivist: "I am constructing a provisional category: this looks like X."
- Interpretivist: "I am interpreting this as X."
- Realist/objectivist: "I am identifying X based on these features."
- Phenomenological (Lab default): "This is arriving as X — the activation pattern resembles..."
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.

dialogical is a skill published in the GitHub repository Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library (7 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 1,795 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
