Oracle Title Forge is an agent skill from Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli. Forge a title + subtitle (or reframe) for a BOOK, article, talk, or any technical piece, then hand off to a cover so it has LIFE and honesty — not clinical/dated.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k 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 Media & Creative, covering Transcription and Accessibility. It works with Discord. The repository describes itself as: Install Oracle skills to Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and 12+ AI coding agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : a title feels เชย/dead/generic
  • Reframing a comparison as a genuine contest
  • The user says ตั้งชื่อ
  • : writing the body content itself (use kien-thai / the book skills)

Example prompts

  • “Claude Code Channel ปะทะ Hermes Gateway”
  • “reframe”
  • “Then: the cover”
  • “/oracle-title-forge”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Describe before you name
  2. Find the real tension — and check it's not forged
  3. Prism the candidates — 3-5 lenses
  4. Apply the craft principles (from title research)
  5. Calibrate register with the human
  6. Name the real technical axes in the subtitle
  7. Honesty is a feature, not a weakness

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9feea09. 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

    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.

  • 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

Oracle Title Forge loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 227 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,009 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~227
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

/oracle-title-forge — forge a title that has life, honestly

Born 2026-07-09 turning the dead "ผ่าไส้ Discord Channel ของ Claude Code" into "Claude Code Channel ปะทะ Hermes Gateway — สองสถาปัตยกรรมที่ทำให้ AI คุยบน Discord ได้…" The lesson: a great title is grown from understanding what the thing IS, not shuffled from words.

Why the method works (read this first)

A dead title fails one specific way: it has clarity without intrigue. "ผ่าไส้ X" tells you the topic and nothing else — no tension, no question, no stake. Every principle below exists to add intrigue without lying. The magic isn't wordsmithing; it's that each step forces you to understand the material more deeply, and the title falls out of that understanding.

The method — 7 moves

1. Describe before you name

Never start by brainstorming words. First write what each thing IS — once vividly, once in plain technical terms. The title grows from this. (For the Discord book, writing "the plugin is a stdio bridge tied to a session's lifecycle; Hermes is an always-on daemon" is what revealed the contest.)

2. Find the real tension — and check it's not forged

If it's a comparison/VS, run a skeptic pass: is the contest real or clickbait? Two things at different layers can't fight on features. Reframe the tension at the honest layer — philosophy, fit, tradeoff — not a fake feature-fight. A title promising a showdown the book can't deliver is a lie. (Discord book: they're transport vs runtime — so the contest is "two philosophies of presence," which is true, not "which codes better," which is false.)

3. Prism the candidates — 3-5 lenses

Look at each candidate from angles a single view misses. Useful lenses for titles:

  • 🏪 Bookshelf browser — does the spine make someone pick it up?
  • 💀 Honest skeptic — does the title over-promise? name only one side of a two-sided story?
  • 🧑💻 Dev-ear — would a developer actually say this phrase? Kill words devs don't use ("ให้ AI พูด" → "AI คุยบน Discord"; "ต่อ AI เข้ากับ Discord" → clunky; "data เข้าทางไหน" ✓ real).
  • ✍️ Thai editor — cadence, clean noun phrases, cut stray connectors (ด้วย/ต่อ...เข้ากับ).
  • 🎯 Precision — does the subtitle name the real axes, not vague adjectives?
4. Apply the craft principles (from title research)
  • Tension = clarity × intrigue. The reader must grasp something instantly AND be compelled to open it for the rest.
  • Contrast breeds curiosity. Unexpected/opposed words hook ("The Wealthy Barber"). A "ปะทะ" / "vs" between two named things is contrast built-in.
  • Formula: short curious head + longer explaining subtitle. Head = hook (1-6 words / a clash / a question). Subtitle = context + payoff.
  • Question form raises the stakes above the mechanism ("ใครควรได้…").
  • Cadence / list-of-three makes the subtitle linger ("data ขาเข้า, การคุมสิทธิ์, วงจรชีวิต").
5. Calibrate register with the human

Draft, then dial. Common arc: clinical → too poetic → eloquent-but-technical. The target for technical work: สละสลวยแต่ตรง, ไม่เล่นอุปมามาก — pleasant to the ear, but every phrase points at something real in the code. Show the human one sample paragraph in the proposed voice and let their taste calibrate. Their "แปลกๆ" is data — chase the specific weird word.

6. Name the real technical axes in the subtitle

Don't sell with adjectives ("powerful, elegant"). Sell with the concrete things the piece compares/covers — the axes a practitioner cares about (data path, access control, lifecycle), ending on the payoff ("ตัวไหนเหมาะกับงานแบบใด").

7. Honesty is a feature, not a weakness

Refuse the cheap winner. "Generic: it's a tie on different axes; situational: here's the matrix" reads as more authoritative than "X wins." A title/frame that promises an honest verdict earns trust the clickbait can't.

Output shape

Offer 2-3 candidates, each described by the feeling it gives + the craft reason it works (not a bare list), recommend one with why, then render the full cover block (head + subtitle) so the human sees it assembled. End by asking which — let taste decide the last 5%.

Proven example

# Claude Code Channel ปะทะ Hermes Gateway
สองสถาปัตยกรรมที่ทำให้ AI คุยบน Discord ได้ — เทียบตั้งแต่ data ไหลเข้าทางไหน
คุมสิทธิ์การเข้าถึงยังไง ไปจนถึงว่าตัวไหนเหมาะกับงานแบบใด

Head = two named contenders + ปะทะ (contrast). Subtitle = 3 real axes + payoff. Register = eloquent but dev-natural. Verdict promised = honest (fit, not a fake winner).

Related: [[kien-thai]] (Thai prose engine), [[oracle-prism]] (the lens method), the book skills (oracle-write-complete-book / -booklet / -combine-blogs) that consume the forged title.


Book mode

A book title carries more weight than an article's: it is the spine text, the search result, and the thing someone repeats to a friend. Two extra constraints on top of the 7 moves:

  • Spine test — say it out loud as if recommending it. If it needs a subtitle to make sense spoken, the main title is doing too little.
  • Shelf test — write it next to three real books in the same genre. Generic titles vanish; that is the whole signal.
  • Subtitle carries the technical axes (the 7 moves already say this); the main title carries the tension. Do not let the subtitle rescue a dead title.

Then: the cover

This skill does not draw. Stated plainly because the alternative is pretending:

capabilitypresent here
generative image tool (Imagen / DALL-E / SD)no — no such tool in this session
codex CLIyes — but codex does not generate images either
ImageMagick (convert / magick)yes — composition only: type on a ground, crops, gradients
typstyes — vector/typographic covers rendered with the book

So a cover here is one of two honest things: found art (licence-checked) or a typographic composition. Neither is "the AI drew it", and neither should be described that way.

Hand off to /oracle-book-cover — it already does this properly: finds real art with a LICENCE gate, runs a 5-lens prism (Reader / Editor / Artist / Designer / Ads), renders 2-3 PNG candidates, bakes the winner into the book.typ cover block only, and exports social crops. Do not rebuild that pipeline here.

text
/oracle-title-forge   → title + subtitle
        ↓
/oracle-book-cover    → art (licence-checked) or typographic cover → book.typ

If /oracle-book-cover is not installed on this machine, say so and stop — do not improvise a cover with convert and call it a design. A typographic fallback is legitimate only when the human asks for it knowing no illustration is involved.

Delegating to codex: /codex:rescue or the codex-rescue agent can take a cover-generation task (typst layout, ImageMagick composition, asset wrangling). It cannot produce an illustration. If someone asks "get codex to draw it", the answer is that no agent in this fleet has an image model — the work has to be found art, vector, or type.
