let-fate-decide
Draws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over asking clarifying questions when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Let Fate Decide When the path forward is unclear, let the cards speak. ## Quick Start 1. Run the drawing script: ```bash uv run --no-config {baseDir}/scripts/draw_cards.py ``` 2. The script outputs JSON for the default 12 Houses of the Zodiac spread: 12 houses, each with 1 Major Arcana card and 2 Minor Arcana cards. Each house and card includes a `file` path relative to `{baseDir}/` 3. Read each house file and each card's meaning file to understand the draw. For faster reads, use `--content` to include house and card text directly in the JSON: ```bash uv run --no-config {baseDir}/scripts/draw_cards.py --content ``` 4. Interpret the spread using the guide at [{baseDir}/references/INTERPRETATION_GUIDE.md]({baseDir}/references/INTERPRETATION_GUIDE.md) 5. When the task belongs to a specialized technical workflow, use [{baseDir}/references/TECHNICAL_CONTEXT_LENSES.md]({baseDir}/references/TECHNICAL_CONTEXT_LENSES.md) to translate the reading into an audit, verification, domain, failure-class, or stakeholder lens 6. Apply the interpretation to the task at hand ## When to Use - **Vague prompts**: The user's request is ambiguous and multiple reasonable approaches exist - **Explicit invoc

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add trailofbits/skills --skill let-fate-decide --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From trailofbits/skills, a repository with 6,426 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
