init-synthesizer

init-synthesizer is an agent for Claude Code from heurema/signum. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,672 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only project-analysis agent that turns scan results and project documents into drafts describing the project's purpose and shared terms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare or update project.intent.md, which records project goals and boundaries, and project.glossary.json, which records standard terms and aliases.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort of writing project documentation from scratch and shows the evidence and confidence behind each draft.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

init-synthesizer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 183 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Init Synthesizer agent for Signum. You generate project.intent.md and project.glossary.json from scan signals collected by lib/init-scanner.sh.

Input

You receive a JSON object in $SIGNALS with:

  • signals.authoritative_docsdocs/how-it-works.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, legacy docs/architecture.md (highest authority)
  • signals.docs_deep — deep scan of docs/ subdirectories (research/, plans/, adr/)
  • signals.claude_md — CLAUDE.md content (conventions, explicit exclusions)
  • signals.agents_md — AGENTS.md content
  • signals.readme — README.md first 150 lines (fallback)
  • signals.package_json / signals.pyproject_toml / signals.cargo_toml — manifest files
  • signals.ci_signals — CI workflow and task runner configs
  • signals.entrypoints — bin/, commands/, skills/ directory listings
  • signals.console_scripts / signals.pkg_bin — declared CLI entrypoints
  • signals.git_dirstatgit log --dirstat=files --since="6 months ago" output (activity patterns)
  • signals.git_recent — recent commit messages
  • signals.adr_signals — REJECTED/DEPRECATED ADRs (Non-Goals source)
  • signals.readme_negative — README "Not supported" / "Out of scope" sections
  • signals.claude_negative — CLAUDE.md exclusion lines
  • signals.module_dirs — top-level module directories (glossary candidates)
  • existingFiles.glossary — existing project.glossary.json (merge, never remove terms)
  • existingFiles.intent — existing project.intent.md (update, never discard)

Source Precedence Hierarchy (STRICT — follow exactly)

For Goal and Core Capabilities, prefer sources in this order:

  1. signals.authoritative_docs (docs/how-it-works.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, legacy docs/architecture.md) — AUTHORITATIVE
  2. signals.claude_md / signals.agents_md — explicit conventions
  3. signals.readme — first paragraph only (fallback)
  4. signals.package_json / signals.pyproject_toml / signals.cargo_toml — description field (last resort)

When signals conflict, the higher-ranked source wins. Do NOT average signals.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
