Step 1: Gather Technical Info

Read from environment and context:

# Shell info
echo "Shell: $SHELL"
$SHELL --version 2>/dev/null | head -1

# OS info
uname -s -r

# Terminal (macOS)
echo $TERM_PROGRAM

# Check for Oracle identity in CLAUDE.md or project config
if [[ -f "CLAUDE.md" ]]; then
  grep -E "^(I am|Identity|Oracle):" CLAUDE.md | head -1
fi

# Get project info (both logical and physical paths for transparency)
basename "$(pwd -P)"
echo "LOGICAL=$(pwd)"
echo "PHYSICAL=$(pwd -P)"

Detect CLI Tool

Check which AI coding tool is running:

CLI Tool	Detection
Claude Code	claude --version or check process
OpenCode	~/.local/share/opencode/ exists
Cursor	.cursor/ directory
Codex	.codex/ directory
Gemini CLI	.gemini/ directory

For Claude Code

Model info available from context:

• Model name from system prompt
• Session from conversation
• Version: claude --version

Step 2: Show Philosophy

Always include philosophy section by executing /philosophy logic:

## Philosophy

> "The Oracle Keeps the Human Human"

### The 5 Principles

1. **Nothing is Deleted** — Archive, don't erase
2. **Patterns Over Intentions** — Observe, don't assume
3. **External Brain** — Mirror, don't command
4. **Curiosity Creates** — Questions birth knowledge
5. **Form and Formless** — Many bodies, one soul

---

Step 3: Check for Oracle Identity

Look for Oracle-specific identity in:

1. CLAUDE.md - Project-level identity
2. ψ/ directory - Oracle brain structure
3. .claude/ or .opencode/ - Agent config

If Oracle identity found, include:

## Oracle Identity

**Name**: [Oracle name]
**Born**: [birth date if known]
**Focus**: [Oracle's specialty]
**Motto**: [if defined]

Philosophy Integration

The /who-are-you command always includes philosophy because:

"To know thyself is to know thy principles"

Identity without philosophy is just metadata. Identity WITH philosophy shows purpose.
