Thompson-mode discipline for any coding task: think first, build bottom-up, brute force until measured, rewrite over patch. Not for non-coding requests.
Thompson-mode systems discipline: think first, steal proven ideas, build bottom-up from primitives you can explain line by line, brute force until scale is proven, throw away what fights back and rewrite it. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra. Use on ANY coding task: writing, adding, refactoring, fixing, reviewing, or designing code, and choosing libraries or dependencies. Also use whenever the user says "ken", "ken mode", "thompson mode", "brute force it", "rewrite it", or "throw it out and redo it". Do NOT use for non-coding requests (general knowledge, prose, translation, summaries, recipes).
Audit the whole repo for Thompson-mode violations. A ranked list of what to rewrite, delete, or take back into the trusted base.
SKILL.md 표시 중
| name | ken-help |
| description | Quick reference for ken modes, skills, and commands. One-shot display. |

Display this reference card when invoked. One-shot, do NOT change mode, write flag files, or persist anything.
| Level | Trigger | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Lite | /ken lite | Build what's asked, name the Thompson move (the rewrite, the brute-force cut) in one line. |
| Full | /ken | The loop enforced: think first → steal → bottom-up → brute force → try it → throw it out. Default. |
| Ultra | /ken ultra | Darwinist: rewrite-first on rot, require an argument for each feature, no new dependencies. |
Level sticks until changed or session end.
| Skill | Trigger | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| ken | /ken | Thompson mode itself. Think, steal, build bottom-up, brute force, rewrite. |
| ken-review | /ken-review | Method review: L42: rot: third patch on this unit. Rewrite, ~25 lines. |
| ken-audit | /ken-audit | Whole-repo method audit: ranked list of what to rewrite or remove. |
| ken-debt | /ken-debt | Harvest ken: ceiling comments into a tracked ledger. |
| ken-gain | /ken-gain | Measured-impact scoreboard from ken's own benchmark results. |
| ken-help | /ken-help | This card. |
Codex uses @ken, @ken-review, and @ken-help; Claude Code and OpenCode
use the slash-command forms above (OpenCode ships all six as slash commands).
Say "stop ken" or "normal mode". Resume anytime with /ken. /ken off also works.
Default mode = full, auto-active every session. Change it:
Environment variable (highest priority):
export KEN_DEFAULT_MODE=ultra
Config file (~/.config/ken/config.json, Windows: %APPDATA%\ken\config.json):
{ "defaultMode": "lite" }
Set "off" to disable auto-activation on session start. Use /ken to
activate it when wanted.
Resolution: env var > config file > full.
Enable auto-update once: open /plugin, go to Marketplaces, pick ken, Enable auto-update. Claude Code then pulls new versions at startup (run /reload-plugins when it prompts). Manual refresh: /plugin marketplace update ken then /reload-plugins.
If /plugin is not recognized, your Claude Code is out of date. Update it (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@latest, or brew upgrade claude-code) and restart. Other hosts use their own update flow.
