--- name: oracle-183045d44548 description: Use the @steipete/oracle CLI to bundle a prompt plus the right files and get a second-model review (API or browser) for debugging, refactors, design checks, or cross-validation. --- # Oracle (CLI) — best use Oracle bundles your prompt + selected files into one “one-shot” request so another model can answer with real repo context (API or browser automation). Treat outputs as advisory: verify against the codebase + tests. ## Main use case (browser, GPT‑5.2 Pro) Default workflow here: `--engine browser` with GPT‑5.2 Pro in ChatGPT. This is the “human in the loop” path: it can take ~10 minutes to ~1 hour; expect a stored session you can reattach to. Recommended defaults: - Engine: browser (`--engine browser`) - Model: GPT‑5.2 Pro (either `--model gpt-5.2-pro` or a ChatGPT picker label like `--model "5.2 Pro"`) - Attachments: directories/globs + excludes; avoid secrets. ## Golden path (fast + reliable) 1. Pick a tight file set (fewest files that still contain the truth). 2. Preview what you’re about to send (`--dry-run` + `--files-report` when needed). 3. Run in browser mode for the usual GPT‑5.2 Pro ChatGPT workflow; use API only when you explicitly want it. 4. If the run detaches/timeouts: reattach to the stored session (don’t re-run). ## Commands (preferred) - Show help (once/session): - `npx -y @steipete/oracle --help` - Preview (no tokens): - `npx -y @steipete/oracle --dry-run summary -p "" --file "src/**" --file "!**/*.test.*"` - `npx -y @steipete/oracle --dry-run full -p "" --file "src/**"` - Token/cost sanity: - `npx -y @steipete/oracle --dry-run summary --files-report -p "" --file "src/**"` - Browser run (main path; long-running is normal): - `npx -y @steipete/oracle --engine browser --model gpt-5.2-pro -p "" --file "src/**"` - Manual paste fallback (assemble bundle, copy to clipboard): - `npx -y @steipete/oracle --render --copy -p "" --file "src/**"` - Note: `--copy` is a hidden alias for `--copy-markdown`. ## Attaching files (`--file`) `--file` accepts files, directories, and globs. You can pass it multiple times; entries can be comma-separated. - Include: - `--file "src/**"` (directory glob) - `--file src/index.ts` (literal file) - `--file docs --file README.md` (literal directory + file) - Exclude (prefix with `!`): - `--file "src/**" --file "!src/**/*.test.ts" --file "!**/*.snap"` - Defaults (important behavior from the implementation): - Default-ignored dirs: `node_modules`, `dist`, `coverage`, `.git`, `.turbo`, `.next`, `build`, `tmp` (skipped unless you explicitly pass them as literal dirs/files). - Honors `.gitignore` when expanding globs. - Does not follow symlinks (glob expansion uses `followSymbolicLinks: false`). - Dotfiles are filtered unless you explicitly opt in with a pattern that includes a dot-segment (e.g. `--file ".github/**"`). - Hard cap: files > 1 MB are rejected (split files or narrow the match). ## Budget + observability - Target: keep total input under ~196k tokens. - Use `--files-report` (and/or `--dry-run json`) to spot the token hogs before spending. - If you need hidden/advanced knobs: `npx -y @steipete/oracle --help --verbose`. ## Engines (API vs browser) - Auto-pick: uses `api` when `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set, otherwise `browser`. - Browser engine supports GPT + Gemini only; use `--engine api` for Claude/Grok/Codex or multi-model runs. - **API runs require explicit user consent** before starting because they incur usage costs. - Browser attachments: - `--browser-attachments auto|never|always` (auto pastes inline up to ~60k chars then uploads). - Remote browser host (signed-in machine runs automation): - Host: `oracle serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9473 --token ` - Client: `oracle --engine browser --remote-host --remote-token -p "" --file "src/**"` ## Sessions + slugs (don’t lose work) - Stored under `~/.oracle/sessions` (override with `ORACLE_HOME_DIR`). - Runs may detach or take a long time (browser + GPT‑5.2 Pro often does). If the CLI times out: don’t re-run; reattach. - List: `oracle status --hours 72` - Attach: `oracle session --render` - Use `--slug "<3-5 words>"` to keep session IDs readable. - Duplicate prompt guard exists; use `--force` only when you truly want a fresh run. ## Prompt template (high signal) Oracle starts with **zero** project knowledge. Assume the model cannot infer your stack, build tooling, conventions, or “obvious” paths. Include: - Project briefing (stack + build/test commands + platform constraints). - “Where things live” (key directories, entrypoints, config files, dependency boundaries). - Exact question + what you tried + the error text (verbatim). - Constraints (“don’t change X”, “must keep public API”, “perf budget”, etc). - Desired output (“return patch plan + tests”, “list risky assumptions”, “give 3 options with tradeoffs”). ### “Exhaustive prompt” pattern (for later restoration) When you know this will be a long investigation, write a prompt that can stand alone later: - Top: 6–30 sentence project briefing + current goal. - Middle: concrete repro steps + exact errors + what you already tried. - Bottom: attach *all* context files needed so a fresh model can fully understand (entrypoints, configs, key modules, docs). If you need to reproduce the same context later, re-run with the same prompt + `--file …` set (Oracle runs are one-shot; the model doesn’t remember prior runs). ## Safety - Don’t attach secrets by default (`.env`, key files, auth tokens). Redact aggressively; share only what’s required. - Prefer “just enough context”: fewer files + better prompt beats whole-repo dumps. --- Source attribution: LeoYeAI Original project: https://github.com/LeoYeAI/openclaw-master-skills/blob/e5199b56ae1ff72e141586c17695563486c46702/skills/oracle/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Mega AI Hub. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 MyClaw.ai (LeoYeAI) Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
