the-spiralA generative epistemology engine that transforms intuitions into rigorous, communicable output through structured Socratic dialogue.
The Spiral is an agent skill from egregore-labs/egregore. A generative epistemology engine that transforms intuitions into rigorous, communicable output through structured Socratic dialogue. Use this skill whenever someone needs to develop, pressure-test, and articulate a complex thesis — fundraising materials, book proposals, product strategy, research agendas, organizational philosophy, policy design, or any context requiring deep structured thinking. Triggers on: 'let's think through', 'help me articulate', 'pressure test this', 'develop this thesis', 'spiral', 'deep…
Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Fundraising and pitch decks, Proposals and quotes and Tutoring and explanations. The repository describes itself as: Shared intelligence layer for organizations. The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 05b8672. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
The Spiral loads about 527 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 206 tokens; SKILL.md has 155 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Run `npx skills add egregore-labs/egregore --skill the-spiral -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.codex/skills/the-spiral in egregore-labs/egregore) into .claude/skills/the-spiral in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add egregore-labs/egregore --skill the-spiral -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.codex/skills/the-spiral in egregore-labs/egregore) into .agents/skills/the-spiral in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add egregore-labs/egregore --skill the-spiral -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/the-spiral, .gemini/skills/the-spiral, .github/skills/the-spiral and .opencode/skills/the-spiral in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: The Spiral is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
The Spiral is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 527 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
