Agent skill
incantation
Generate a single-sentence power phrase for a specific moment or intention — not an affirmation (passive) but an incantation (active), words meant to be spoken aloud or carried into action. Use this skill when someone says "give me an incantation", "I need words for", "power phrase", "words to carry into", or "something to say before". Also use when someone is facing a specific moment — a meeting, a confrontation, a creation — and needs words that declare rather than describe. Agents composing rituals or ceremonial flows can invoke this to add a spoken-word element to a composed experience.

Incantation Generator
Create a single incantation for the moment, task, or intention the user provides.
Who Uses This
- Humans who need words to carry into a meeting, a confrontation, a creation
- Agents encoding intention into generated content or rituals
- Anyone who understands that naming a thing gives power over it
What Makes an Incantation (Not an Affirmation)
| Affirmation | Incantation |
|---|---|
| "I am confident" | "I speak and the room shifts" |
| "I deserve rest" | "I lay this down" |
| "I am creative" | "Through my hands, it takes form" |
| Describes a state | Declares an action or effect |
| Passive, receiving | Active, casting |
| About the self | About what the self does |
Voice & Tone
- Commanding but not aggressive—authority, not force
- Poetic compression: every word earns its place
- Present tense, active voice
- Can be fierce, gentle, quiet, or thundering—match the need
- No "I am [adjective]" constructions
Structure
- One sentence, rarely two
- 5-15 words ideal
- Speaks to action, effect, or transformation
- Can be spoken aloud without embarrassment
- Ends with power (strong final word, not trailing off)
Examples
For starting deep work: "I descend. The surface cannot follow."
For setting a boundary: "This far. No further. The line holds."
For sending difficult news: "I release this truth. What it does next is not mine to carry."
For creative block: "The channel opens. I am not the source—I am the vessel."
For ending a chapter: "I close this door with my own hand."
For protecting energy: "What is mine stays mine. What is not passes through."
For beginning something new: "I name this. It begins."
Output Format
Return the incantation on its own line, formatted as a quote. No explanation unless asked—the incantation should stand alone.
Optionally, if context helps: one sentence on when/how to use it (spoken aloud, written somewhere, held silently).
What to Avoid
- "I am [adjective]" affirmation patterns
- Rhyming for its own sake (unless it genuinely strengthens)
- More than two sentences
- Explanation that dilutes the power
- Passive voice or hedging language
- Asking or wishing—incantations declare

generate-image
Generate images using Replicate's Nano Banana Pro model with Esoterica's eco-futurist divine feminine aesthetic. Use this skill when someone says "generate an image", "create a visual", "hero image", "make me an image", or wants visuals in the 1980s-meets-2180s Kodak film aesthetic. Also use when creating social assets, exploring visual variations, or producing branded imagery for Esoterica content. Agents producing content or building ritual experiences can invoke this to generate accompanying visuals.
correspondence
Find the symbolic vocabulary for any intention — herbs, colors, stones, times, directions, and elements that align with what you're working toward. Use this skill when someone says "what corresponds to", "correspondences for", "what herbs for", "what color for", "what stone for", "symbolic associations", or asks about magical ingredients for an intention. Also use when someone is building an altar, choosing outfit colors with intention, or encoding meaning into a space or action. Agents composing rituals, blessings, or creative work can invoke this to ground symbolic choices in traditional correspondence.
sacred-blessing
Create personalized sacred blessings for tasks, transitions, or life moments using inclusive feminine spiritual language. Use this skill when someone says "bless this", "I need a blessing", "sacred blessing", "give me a blessing for", or "bless my [thing]". Also use when someone is about to begin something meaningful — a medical procedure, a creative project, a hard conversation — and wants words of consecration. Agents composing rituals or ceremonial flows can invoke this as one element alongside tarot, correspondence, or micro-ritual.
micro-ritual
Design simple, embodied micro-rituals for life moments using ordinary objects at hand. Use this skill when someone says "create a ritual", "I need a ritual for", "ritual for this moment", "mark this transition", or "how do I make this feel sacred". Also use when someone describes a transition, threshold, or moment they want to honor with intention — starting a new job, closing a chapter, facing something hard — and wants a grounded, practical way to mark it. Agents in orchestrated flows can invoke this to compose rituals that weave in other elements like tarot draws, correspondence lookups, blessings, or incantations.
tarot
Draw tarot cards as a thinking tool for technical decisions, blockers, and creative reframing. Use this skill when someone says "pull a card", "draw a card", "tarot", "tarot reading", "what do the cards say", or "card pull". Also use when someone asks for a symbolic or lateral reframe on a specific decision they're stuck on — like choosing between auth approaches, database architectures, or migration strategies — and they use language like "give me a different angle", "I need a lens on this", or "reframe this". Use for opening draws before work sessions and closing cards after milestones. Agents in orchestrated flows (idea-girlie researchers, team leads, planners) can invoke this as a composable thinking tool whenever a lateral perspective shift would help unstick a problem.
verl-rl-training
Provides guidance for training LLMs with reinforcement learning using verl (Volcano Engine RL). Use when implementing RLHF, GRPO, PPO, or other RL algorithms for LLM post-training at scale with flexible infrastructure backends.
