At a glance

Looks up the seducer types, the 24-step process in four phases and the anti-seducer traits from the Art of Seduction, by type name, step number or keyword.

  • Works in 8 steps: Choose the Right Victim → Create False Security → Send Mixed Signals → …
  • Looking up a seducer type from the book by name
  • SKILL.md covers Usage, Quick Lookup, The 9 Seducer Types and The 24 Steps (4 Phases), plus 2 more sections
  • Calls rg

What it does

The skill is a lookup aid for one book's framework, run as /palpatine:seduce in Claude Code or $palpatine:seduce in Codex. With no argument it gives an overview of types and phases, a type name shows that seducer type, a number shows that step, and other words search by keyword. Lookups search references/seduction_index.json with rg, falling back to grep, and the path is resolved from the skill's own folder rather than your working directory.

The content covers nine seducer types, such as Siren, Rake, Coquette and Charmer, each with a core move and the gap it targets, plus 24 steps grouped into four phases named Separation, Lead Astray, Precipice and Moving In. It ends with traits that undermine the approach, including talking too much about yourself, constant reassurance-seeking and impatience. The excerpt is cut off in that last list.

When your agent uses it

  • Looking up a seducer type from the book by name
  • Finding what a numbered step in the 24-step process covers
  • Searching the framework for a term such as hot and cold
  • Getting a one-page overview of the four phases

Example prompts

  • “/palpatine:seduce siren”
  • “/palpatine:seduce 15”
  • “/palpatine:seduce hot cold”
  • “Give me an overview of the seducer types and the four phases.”

Requirements

  • `rg` (ripgrep) or `grep` for index lookups

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Choose the Right Victim
  2. Create False Security
  3. Send Mixed Signals
  4. Appear as Object of Desire
  5. Create Need — Stir Discontent
  6. Master Insinuation
  7. Enter Their Spirit
  8. Create Temptation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 53a3ac4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • rg

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Art of Seduction Quick Reference loads about 825 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 320 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~825
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.2k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 320 words (~825 tokens).

“Invoke with Claude Code /palpatine:seduce or /palpatine:seduce , or Codex $palpatine:seduce or $palpatine:seduce .”
