Show HN: Destiny – Claude Code's fortune Teller skill

https://github.com/xodn348/destiny
27•xodn348•1h ago
Destiny is the Claude Code's plugin that gives you a real fortune reading.

Type /destiny to see today's destiny!

It uses the actual classical East Asian astrology system. You enter your birthday once, then /destiny gives you today's reading anytime.

Two layers, kept honest:

1. The numbers (your eight-character birth chart, today's day pillar, the hexagram for the moment, five-element relationships) are computed by a Python script. Same person + same day = identical output. You can verify against any traditional calendar source.

2. The prose (today's stars, character sketch, life arc, advice) is written by Claude, applying centuries-old reading conventions to that fixed data. Not LLM-hallucinated horoscope.

If you have fun with it, a star would mean a lot.

Could you flesh out the installation instructions a little more? I haven't used the plugin marketplace yet, and don't have a /plugin command.

Claude itself is not able to tell me how to install it.

Just edited readme as well

This is for Claude Code. It's not hard to install/run Claude Code but it might be a little intimidating if you're not used to command lines.

I think in the regular Claude app, you can set up something like this as a "project" with a custom prompt. Claude might be able to pull the prompting from Github and convert it.

interesting, but I really wonder how big the audience is of people wanting to know their fortune while claude coding within the claude code interface
xodn348•35m ago
This is my fun project! Not a profitable entity. Thanks
tomaytotomato•24m ago
I would recommend you consider a Claude code hook, you could then specify a particular part of the agent lifecycle to invoke the fortune as an alternative to manual invocation of the skill.

You could do it on `SessionStart` to give a horoscope.

I am looking at making a skill to test random programming knowledge, so I don't forget that an Integer is 32bits (at least in Java)

xodn348•12m ago
Auto-run on session start (optional) added. Please check it out!

Since you seem to be mentioning 'destiny', 'life arc' and 'advice' -it may be wise to put in some kind of a legal disclaimer for your own sake -- the use of LLM toys for advice about life and similar have led to some really bad outcomes, even suicides as we know now.
xodn348•21m ago
fair points. I will take a look at it
chaqchase•21m ago
Curious what prompt boundaries you're using. It's the kind of thing that's fun until it quietly invents details.
xodn348•16m ago
I actually did not use prompts here. It is actual calculation from the python lunar and it cast the result to LLM which you use. The LLM has the old books such as giving you your fortune following lunar year calculation. Have a fun with it!

I am resisting the urge to be very snarky.

But how do you know that Claude's hallucinated horoscopes are any less accurate than traditional techniques? Have you A/B tested them?
