    I am resisting the urge to be very snarky.

    But how do you know that Claude's hallucinated horoscopes are any less accurate than traditional techniques? Have you A/B tested them?

    Since you seem to be mentioning 'destiny', 'life arc' and 'advice' -it may be wise to put in some kind of a legal disclaimer for your own sake -- the use of LLM toys for advice about life and similar have led to some really bad outcomes, even suicides as we know now.

      fair points. I will take a look at it

    I thought anthropic is tightening usage but it seems people have nothing to do with their tokens …

      I'm doing what people wants. Thanks!

    Looks like a supply chain risk to me.

      I did not understood the meaning of your words.

    Could you flesh out the installation instructions a little more? I haven't used the plugin marketplace yet, and don't have a /plugin command.

    Claude itself is not able to tell me how to install it.

      This is for Claude Code. It's not hard to install/run Claude Code but it might be a little intimidating if you're not used to command lines.

      I think in the regular Claude app, you can set up something like this as a "project" with a custom prompt. Claude might be able to pull the prompting from Github and convert it.

        There is a claude code in the claude gui as well, i think everyone must be saying to use the tui.

    Curious what prompt boundaries you're using. It's the kind of thing that's fun until it quietly invents details.
    • xodn348an hour ago
      I actually did not use prompts here. It is actual calculation from the python lunar and it cast the result to LLM which you use. The LLM has the old books such as giving you your fortune following lunar year calculation. Have a fun with it!

    for what it's worth I think this is fun. I'm not into this sort of thing but it's fun none the less.
    • xodn34829 minutes ago
      This was what I was targeting. Thanks

    I would recommend you consider a Claude code hook, you could then specify a particular part of the agent lifecycle to invoke the fortune as an alternative to manual invocation of the skill.

    You could do it on `SessionStart` to give a horoscope.

    I am looking at making a skill to test random programming knowledge, so I don't forget that an Integer is 32bits (at least in Java)

    • xodn348an hour ago
      Auto-run on session start (optional) added. Please check it out!

    interesting, but I really wonder how big the audience is of people wanting to know their fortune while claude coding within the claude code interface
    • xodn348an hour ago
      This is my fun project! Not a profitable entity. Thanks

    Yes this is exactly what we need — the hallucinating dunning-Krueger inducing psychosis machine spewing made up pseudoscientific nonsense. Bravo.
    • xodn34844 minutes ago
      haha great prose
      • throwatdem1231140 minutes ago
        People have been goaded into killing themselves or others by LLMs so I don’t take kindly to third rate hucksters abusing the behaviours that lead to it with these tools for a laugh.
        • Jtarii37 minutes ago
          I don't think it's that deep.

          Seems like a bit of an overexageration to a bit of fun.

          • throwatdem1231126 minutes ago
            Have you ever had to deal with someone whose brain has been completely cooked by LLM induced psychosis? Because I have — it destroys people’s lives completely unnecessarily. So I will not apologize for having a visceral disgust towards people and behaviours that will amplify these very real harms for their own personal gratification and online clout chasing.
        • xodn34825 minutes ago
          Hope you enjoy your life and time.

    Now the call center cranks will have even better scripts to read. Perfect...

      Let me have fun with it. Thanks
