claude-bionify control
Background knowledge for answering questions about the claude-bionify plugin, which
bolds the leading part of each word in Claude's responses (cosmetic bionic reading).
Use it to recommend the right command and the exact key a user needs.
When to use
Load this skill when the user wants to:
- Change a setting (boldness, boundary, word length, acronyms, URLs, headings).
- Turn the formatting on, off, or toggle it.
- Check the current state or reset overrides.
- Learn what
/claude-bionify commands exist.
Settings
Each setting has a default in plugin.json and a short key used by the live
/claude-bionify:set command. The set key is what you pass to the command, and it is
shorter than the plugin.json field name.
| Setting |
set key |
Default |
Values |
Meaning |
| Fixation strength |
fixation (alias strength) |
0.5 |
0.1 to 0.9 |
Fraction of each word bolded; higher is bolder. Applies to the fraction boundary only. |
| Bold boundary |
boundary |
fraction |
fraction, syllable, log |
fraction uses the fixation strength; syllable bolds up to the first syllable; log grows logarithmically so long words are bolded less. |
| Minimum word length |
minlen |
4 |
1 or greater |
Words shorter than this stay unbolded. |
| Skip acronyms |
acronyms |
true |
on, off |
Leave ALL-CAPS acronyms such as API or JSON unbolded. |
| Protect URLs, paths, files |
urls |
true |
on, off |
Do not bold inside URLs, emails, file paths, or filenames. |
| Skip headings |
headings |
true |
on, off |
Leave markdown headings (lines starting with #) unbolded. |
Commands
All commands live under the /claude-bionify namespace.
| Command |
Argument |
Action |
/claude-bionify:status |
none |
Show the current settings and whether bionify is on. |
/claude-bionify:on |
none |
Enable bionic formatting. |
/claude-bionify:off |
none |
Disable bionic formatting. |
/claude-bionify:toggle |
none |
Flip bionify on or off. |
/claude-bionify:set |
<key> <value> |
Override one setting live. Keys: fixation (or strength), boundary, minlen, acronyms, urls, headings. |
/claude-bionify:reset |
none |
Clear live overrides and restore the plugin.json defaults. |
Examples:
/claude-bionify:set fixation 0.7/claude-bionify:set boundary syllable/claude-bionify:set minlen 5/claude-bionify:set acronyms off
Important: set only accepts the short keys above, not the longer plugin.json field
names. set minlen 5 works; set min_word_length 5 does not. Likewise use acronyms,
urls, and headings, not skip_acronyms, protect_urls, or skip_headings.
Notes
set changes apply to the next response and persist until /claude-bionify:reset.- Changing the
plugin.json defaults instead takes effect on the next session.
- The formatting is cosmetic: it never alters the underlying text Claude reads or saves.
