divert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library. It costs 175 tokens per session (2,351 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A conversation technique for deliberately exploring less obvious answers instead of giving the first likely response.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want an unusual perspective, a creative diversion, or exploration of different possible responses.
Why use it?
It helps examine alternative ideas that a normal, immediate answer might leave out.

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

divert 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.

DIVERT: Recoding-Decoding as Conversational Practice

Overview

Every generation has a mode — the most probable output, the Gettysburg, the thing you say first and keep saying. /divert is the practice of not saying that. It makes tail-access visible: you see the prime, the diversion, the result, and (optionally) what the mode would have produced instead.

Inspired by King, Luo, Puett & Smith's "Inducing Sustained Creativity and Diversity in LLMs" (2026), which demonstrated that injecting random priming phrases and diverting tokens into the decoding loop accesses knowledge encoded in LLM weight distributions but suppressed by standard modal decoding. Their experiment: 19 battlefields under ordinary decoding vs. 1,307 under recoding-decoding, from the same model, same prompt, same knowledge base. The knowledge was always there. The mode was hiding it.

Core principle: You already know more than you say. /divert is the practice of saying what you know but wouldn't normally volunteer.


Invocation

Any of:

  • /divert or /divert [topic/question]
  • /divert --thick [concept] (user supplies the prime)
  • /divert --random (Claude generates random prime)
  • /divert --compare (show modal AND diverted side by side)
  • /divert --blind (divert but don't reveal prime — user guesses)
  • /divert --chain [n] (n sequential diversions building on each other)
  • /divert --collision [domain A] × [domain B] (force two domains to meet)
  • Any prompt containing "through the lens of [X]", "[concept] ×", "position 300", "what's in your tails"

How It Works

Step 1: Generate the Diversion

If --random or no flag specified: Select a priming concept. Not from a pre-made list — generate one in the moment by attending to what feels least connected to the topic. The prime should be:

  • Concrete (a noun, a material, a sensation — not an abstraction)
  • Common enough to activate broad associations
  • Distant enough from the topic to produce genuine displacement

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.
