Destiny: Claude Code Plugin for Deterministic Fortune Telling Using Classical East Asian Astrology
Destiny is a plugin for Claude Code that delivers daily fortune readings based on classical East Asian astrology — not an LLM-hallucinated horoscope. The numbers are computed deterministically by a Python script; only the interpretation is generative. Type /destiny to get a today-specific reading.
Quick Start
Requires Claude Code v2.0+ with plugins enabled. Install inside Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add xodn348/destiny
/plugin install destiny@destiny-marketplace
/destinyFrom terminal (fallback):
claude plugin marketplace add xodn348/destiny
claude plugin install destiny@destiny-marketplaceVerify with claude plugin list. First /destiny asks for birth date, time, city, and gender — saved to ~/.destiny/profile.json. Subsequent calls need only /destiny.
What You Get
Each reading has two sections:
- Today's Fortune — short prose based on today vs. your birth chart, with five-category stars (overall, love, money, career, health), a hexagram for this moment, lucky number/color/direction.
- Life Reading — character, life arc, current 10-year period. Plain language.
How It Works
Three deterministic systems, computed from birth date/time:
- Four Pillars (eight-character birth chart) — year/month/day/hour map to Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches from a 60-cycle calendar running continuously for 2000+ years.
- Perpetual lunar calendar — converts solar dates to eight characters, handles solar terms, lunar/solar conversion, true-solar-time correction by longitude, Korean DST (1987–88). Equivalent to Korea's national observatory calendar.
- I-Ching hexagram — drawn via plum-blossom time divination (Shao Yong's algorithm) from current lunar date/hour. Hexagram texts from James Legge's 1899 public-domain translation.
Layer separation: eight-character birth chart, today's day pillar, five-element relationships, branch harmonies/clashes — all computed by Python. Claude applies classical reading conventions to that fixed data.

Claude Usage Bar Colorizer Browser Extension Built with Claude Code
A developer built a browser extension that recolors Claude's usage bars from green to yellow to red based on percentage thresholds, adds a popup with live usage data, and allows customization of thresholds and colors. The extension only runs on Claude's usage page, stores settings locally, and makes no external network requests.

One developer built RunawayContext, an MIT-licensed system that stores project lessons in SQLite with FTS5 and optional sqlite-vec, keeping per-session context under 3K tokens via MCP query tools and hard-coded caps.
Reflect MCP Server Implements Reflexion Paper for Persistent Coding Agent Memory
A developer implemented the Reflexion paper (Shinn et al., NeurIPS 2023) as an MCP server to give local coding agents persistent memory of their mistakes. The system uses regex-based pattern matching on error messages and stores lessons in SQLite with FTS5.
Using /probe to catch AI hallucinations before writing code
A developer shares a technique called /probe that forces AI-generated plans to make numbered claims with expected values, then probes the real system to catch discrepancies. The method caught four factual errors in Claude's description of its own JSONL format that would have caused code bugs.
