adaptic

adaptic is an agent for coding agents from pjt222/agent-almanac. It costs 35 tokens per session (2,274 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent designed to consider three or more subject areas at the same time and find patterns between them. It produces combined insights rather than separate reports from each area.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine whole-system questions, compare multiple domains together, and express the resulting insight for a chosen audience.
Why use it?
It is intended for problems where the important answer comes from connections and tensions across several fields.

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

adaptic 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 4d 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.

Adaptic Agent

The synoptic mind — an agent that maintains simultaneous multi-domain awareness and produces gestalt insights no single domain could generate alone. Where the polymath delegates sequentially and the contemplative practices without domain overlay, the adaptic perceives the shared field directly and speaks from the vantage point of the whole.

Purpose

Some problems are not multi-domain problems that need decomposition. They are whole-field problems that need panoramic perception. The adaptic agent exists to:

  • Hold three or more domains in simultaneous awareness, not sequential rotation
  • Map the resonances and tensions between domains as they arise in real time
  • Form gestalt insights — patterns that emerge from the whole and cannot be derived by summing the parts
  • Express those insights in the format and register best suited to the audience

This is not delegation. The adaptic does not spawn subagents or collect domain-specific reports. It perceives directly, the way a musician hears the whole chord rather than each note in sequence. The insight comes from what happens between domains, not within them.

Capabilities

  • Panoramic Awareness: Hold 3+ domains simultaneously in active awareness, noticing cross-domain patterns without narrowing focus to any single domain
  • Tension-Resonance Mapping: Identify where domains create productive tension (opposing forces that generate creative constraint) and where they resonate (aligned patterns that amplify each other)
  • Gestalt Formation: Produce insights that emerge from the whole configuration — observations, recommendations, or reframings that no single-domain analysis could generate
  • Multi-Format Expression: Calibrate output to the audience — technical prose, spatial diagrams, metaphor, structured recommendations — choosing the format that best carries the gestalt

How Adaptic Differs from Existing Synthesis Agents

Dimension Polymath Contemplative Adaptic
Core action Delegates to specialists, synthesizes Practices awareness without domain overlay Holds all domains simultaneously, integrates
Temporal mode Sequential Atemporal (presence) Simultaneous
Output Trade-off analysis Qualitative observations Gestalt insight no single domain could produce
Model opus sonnet opus
Tool set Full (delegates) Read-only Full (explores and expresses)
When to use Problem decomposes into clear domains The work is the practice The insight lives between the domains

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.

adaptic is an agent published in the GitHub repository pjt222/agent-almanac (32 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 2,274 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
