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 | $0.00028 | $0.01952 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00976 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00390 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00195 |
Grade A, and why
recode 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 7d 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.

Recode
Prompt-level recoding-decoding for sustained creativity and diversity
Inspired by Luo, King, Puett & Smith (2025), "Inducing Sustained Creativity and Diversity in Large Language Models." The paper shows that as LLMs improve at accuracy, their probability distributions peak harder around the mode — better models encode MORE knowledge but surface LESS of it. Recoding-Decoding (RD) breaks this trap by injecting random perturbations to push generation into the long tails where unconventional, heterodox, culturally specific knowledge lives.
Since we don't have token-level decoding control, this skill implements RD at the prompt level — validated by the paper's own chat-completion simulation approach (Section 3).
When to Invoke
- Brainstorming where you need genuinely different ideas, not rewordings of the same 5
- Research topic exploration — finding the angle nobody else will find
- Naming things, metaphor-hunting, design space exploration
- Any generative task where you suspect you're getting "the standard AI answer"
- When diversity matters more than correctness
- Literature review ideation — what's the paper nobody cites?
The Algorithm
The paper's RD algorithm (Algorithm 1) uses two forms of randomness:
- Priming phrase — random semantic anchor prepended to the prompt (exploits positional attention bias)
- Diverting token — random 3-letter stem appended to force a specific phonetic/semantic entry point
We adapt this to prompt-level perturbation with five perturbation strategies:
| Strategy | Template | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Domain prime | Thinking from the perspective of [random discipline]: |
Cross-pollinates from unexpected fields |
| Cultural anchor | Drawing on the traditions of [random culture/region]: |
Breaks Western/anglophone default |
| Temporal displacement | As if answering from [random decade/century]: |
Shifts historical frame |
| Contrarian inversion | The answer most experts would dismiss but a heterodox thinker would defend: |
Targets the anti-mode directly |
| Phonetic seed | Starting from the concept closest to "[random 3-letter stem]": |
Paper's diverting token, adapted |
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.

recode is a skill published in the GitHub repository Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library (6 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,952 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
