Type /destiny to see today's destiny!
It uses the actual classical East Asian astrology system. You enter your birthday once, then /destiny gives you today's reading anytime.
Two layers, kept honest:
1. The numbers (your eight-character birth chart, today's day pillar, the hexagram for the moment, five-element relationships) are computed by a Python script. Same person + same day = identical output. You can verify against any traditional calendar source.
2. The prose (today's stars, character sketch, life arc, advice) is written by Claude, applying centuries-old reading conventions to that fixed data. Not LLM-hallucinated horoscope.
If you have fun with it, a star would mean a lot.

I am not sure the same standard would apply for a fortune teller :)
But how do you know that Claude's hallucinated horoscopes are any less accurate than traditional techniques? Have you A/B tested them?
Claude itself is not able to tell me how to install it.
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.
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)
Seems like a bit of an overexageration to a bit of fun.
do it now.
