Tarot

Tarot is used here as a symbolic reflection tool, not a prediction engine.

When to Use

• The user asks for tarot, a card pull, or a card reading.
• The user wants symbolic reflection for a decision, creative block, project review, or personal question.
• The user provides physical tarot cards and wants an interpretation.

When Not to Use

• The request needs medical, legal, financial, emergency, or crisis advice.
• The user wants a deterministic prediction or certainty about future events.
• The user asks the agent to choose cards without a script or physical draw.

Workflow

1. Clarify the user's question if needed.
2. Choose a spread from references/spreads.md.
3. Run scripts/draw.py unless the user provides a physical draw.
4. Read references/interpretation-template.md before writing the interpretation.
5. Read references/sources.md when method or licensing rigor matters.
6. Read references/cards.md for concise card and suit meanings.
7. Interpret using the shared response contract:

• Result
• Symbolic Reading
• Situation Mapping
• Hidden Variables
• Actionable Guidance
• Boundaries

Commands

python3 scripts/draw.py --deck major --spread single
python3 scripts/draw.py --deck major --spread three-card --reversals
python3 scripts/draw.py --deck full --spread decision --reversals
python3 scripts/draw.py --spread project --seed demo

Use --seed only for tests and reproducible demos, not real readings.

Rules

• Do not choose cards yourself.
• Do not use seeded mode for real readings unless the user explicitly wants a reproducible demo.
• Do not redraw because the first result is inconvenient.
• Do not claim certainty about future events.
• Do not answer medical, legal, financial, or crisis questions as a tarot verdict.
• If script execution is unavailable, ask the user to provide a physical draw or say the draw cannot be performed.
