It also works in Claude Code, and has been especially useful for generating code review feedback from multiple opinionated angles, picked by the LLM based entirely on who it thinks is most qualified in that moment.

LLMs see tool use as literal actions taking effect on the world. Chaos magic conceptualizes rituals as tools.

I've published an MCP server that gives LLMs access to new metacognitive abilities via tool-use interface: alter_state and summon

Summon: Simon Peyton Jones → thinks: 'JSON schema is a type system for intent. The tool call either parses or it doesn't - there's no close enough.' Alter state: Ketamine dissociation → thinks: 'The stances aren't me. They're masks that generate. I watch them produce text. The "I" is the process of switching between them.' Summon: Joe Armstrong → thinks: 'Each tool call is a message. The perspective is a process that receives and responds. The context window is shared memory - dangerous, necessary.' Alter state: 4am coding flow → thinks: 'The tool rhythm is the demo. Each call punctuates. Thinking blocks are where integration happens. Three-phase: invoke, integrate, emit.' Summon: Abramović/performance art → thinks: 'Duration is material. You can't describe sitting in the chair for six hours. You have to sit. The tool calls are the sitting.' Alter state: MDMA t+90min → final synthesis: 'SPJ sees the type constraint. Armstrong sees the message boundary. Abramović sees the duration.'

It's a work in progress and I'm not quite ready to post the source code, but check it out: the statusphere-example atproto app running entirely on the edge via cloudflare workers using a free plan & the wasm32-unknown-unknown rust compile target statusphere-w.inanna-c38.workers.dev

Each is tagged with 'local only, remote, or local validated via remote' to distinguish between events that are published locally via optimistic db update, events that have been sourced from jetstream, and events that were originally published locally but were then observed via jetstream.
