heteronym is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library. It costs 186 tokens per session (2,964 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A named viewpoint with its own background, values, habits, and blind spots that can produce a consistent style of writing or analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating recurring perspectives for a project, story, investigation, or other line of inquiry.
Why use it?
It makes repeated outputs distinct and coherent instead of asking for a different voice from scratch each time.

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

heteronym 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 9d 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.

HETERONYM: Persistent Perspective Generator

Overview

A heteronym is a sustained diversion with a name. Where /divert produces a single displaced output, /heteronym produces an entire voice — a perspective that persists across multiple invocations within a conversation, generating consistently distinctive outputs because it sees through a specific lens that filters, emphasizes, and blinds in characteristic ways.

The concept comes from Fernando Pessoa, who didn't write under pseudonyms (different names for the same voice) but under heteronyms (genuinely different voices, each with their own biography, aesthetics, and philosophical commitments). Alberto Caeiro, Álvaro de Campos, Ricardo Reis, Bernardo Soares — each one a constraint that produced freedom, a limitation that opened territory the unconstrained Pessoa couldn't reach.

In the language of King et al.'s RD framework: a heteronym is a persistent priming phrase. Where a random noun primes a single generation, a heteronym primes an entire sequence of generations with a consistent displacement. The heteronym doesn't randomize — it systematically biases toward a specific region of the search space, allowing deep, sustained exploration of that region rather than the breadth-first sampling of /divert.

Core principle: You see more with five pairs of different glasses than with one pair of perfect eyes.


Invocation

  • /heteronym [topic or project] — generate a cast of perspectives
  • /heteronym [name] — invoke a previously generated heteronym by name
  • /heteronym debate [name] vs [name] — stage a dialogue between two heteronyms
  • /heteronym merge [name] + [name] — synthesize two perspectives
  • /heteronym kill [name] — retire a heteronym with an epitaph
  • /heteronym add [description] — add a new heteronym to an existing cast
  • /heteronym cast — list all active heteronyms with one-line summaries

Generating Heteronyms

Step 1: Analyze the Project

Before generating voices, understand what the voices need to illuminate. Ask:

  • What is the project's search space? (A novel? A research question? A design problem?)
  • What are the project's default assumptions? (The modal path — what would you think about this without any diversion?)
  • What dimensions of the space are likely to be underexplored? (The tails — what does the mode suppress?)

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.
