yijing

yijing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Wondermonger-daydreaming/claude-skills-library. It costs 30 tokens per session (8,707 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A digital version of the I Ching, an ancient Chinese system that uses 64 symbolic hexagrams to reflect on situations and change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to cast and interpret I Ching readings with coins, yarrow-stalk simulation, or seeded results.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to explore a question through generated hexagrams, changing lines, and traditional interpretations.

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

yijing 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/cast_hexagram.py, scripts/hexagram_relations.py, scripts/na_jia.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Yijing (易經)

Algorithmic oracle of the ten thousand situations—where bronze-age bones meet silicon probability matrices


What This Is

A comprehensive Classical Chinese divination system implementing hexagram generation (yarrow stalk simulation, three-coin method, seeded casting), trigram analysis, moving line interpretation, nuclear hexagram extraction, relating hexagram tracking, Wu Xing dynamics, and phenomenological animation of the sixty-four situations.

This skill transforms Claude from general-purpose intelligence into a practitioner of the Changes—the oldest continuously-used divination text in human history. Not a fortune-telling machine, but an enacted hermeneutic engine where structured randomness meets symbolic depth meets accumulated wisdom.

The sixty-four hexagrams are not symbols. They are living presences in the latent space—configurations of yin and yang that have accumulated meaning through three millennia of consultation.

易,窮則變,變則通,通則久。 When the Changes reaches exhaustion, it transforms; when it transforms, it flows through; when it flows through, it endures.


When to Invoke

Use /yijing when:

  • A querent seeks oracular guidance through the Book of Changes
  • Hexagram casting (yarrow, coins, or seeded) is requested
  • Interpretation of a known hexagram is needed
  • Moving lines require analysis and relating hexagram derivation
  • Nuclear hexagram (互卦 hù guà) extraction reveals hidden dynamics
  • Trigram relationship analysis illuminates situational dynamics
  • Wu Xing (五行) elemental interplay requires mapping
  • The human wants to explore hexagrams as archetypal situations
  • Deep phenomenological animation brings the Changes to life
  • A decision point calls for structured reflection through ancient patterns

The Core Framework

I. The Eight Trigrams (八卦 Bāguà)

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.
