Model Salt: one prompt, ten different answers

Ten runs, one answer.

Ask a model the same thing again and again and you get the same answer back.

Prompt

Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle.

The fix: add a dash of entropy to your query.

Model Salt is one MCP tool, model_salt. Before an open task the model calls it once, gets its open choices settled by randomness from outside the model, and does the work.

Want more or less? Ask for it: the tool takes a randomness setting from 0 to 2, and 1 is the default. See the settings

How it works

Where you use it

npx -y @modelsalt/model-salt setup claude

  1. Run the command above in a terminal. It adds Model Salt to Claude Code for every project.
  2. Start a new Claude Code session.
  3. Check: claude mcp list shows model-salt as connected, or type /mcp in a session.
  4. Ask for something open, like "Suggest a name for a café": the model calls model_salt before it answers. npx -y @modelsalt/model-salt uninstall claude takes it out.
