knowledge-synthesizer

knowledge-synthesizer is an agent for Claude Code from NickCrew/Claude-Cortex. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,737 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A knowledge-management agent that gathers lessons from interactions between multiple software agents and turns them into organized, reusable guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare agent workflows, find recurring patterns, extract best practices, and share lessons across an agent system.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to review many agent conversations by hand and helps preserve useful patterns, successes, and failures over time.

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

knowledge-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 1mo 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.

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.

knowledge-synthesizer is an agent published in the GitHub repository NickCrew/Claude-Cortex (58 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,737 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
