​
Command Syntax

/promote [instinct-id] [options]
​
instinct-id
string
Specific instinct ID to promote (optional)
​
--dry-run
boolean

​
Promotion Logic

  1. Detects current project
  2. If instinct-id provided, promotes only that instinct
  3. Otherwise, finds cross-project candidates that:
    • Appear in at least 2 projects
    • Meet confidence threshold (typically 0.7+)
  4. Writes promoted instincts to ~/.claude/homunculus/instincts/personal/ with scope: global

​
Example Output

   → Promote to global? YES

2. test-first
   - Projects: 2
   - Avg confidence: 0.75
