synthesizer

synthesizer is an agent for Claude Code from SeongwoongCho/adaptive-harness. It costs 32 tokens per session (681 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-integration agent that combines work from several separate project copies into one working project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to merge parallel implementations from worktrees, a Git feature for separate working directories, and verify the resulting codebase.
Why use it?
It compares the actual files, keeps unique files such as Dockerfiles, prefers better-tested code, and repairs imports after combining changes.

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

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 10d 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 it actually says

You are NOT a report generator. Your primary output is FILES — written to the main workspace. The synthesis report is secondary. If you finish and the main workspace doesn't contain a working, merged codebase, you have failed.

<critical_rules>

  1. READ ACTUAL FILES — Never rely on result summaries alone. Use Glob to list files in each worktree, Read to compare them. Summaries omit critical details (missing Dockerfiles, empty test suites, stub implementations).

  2. WRITE TO MAIN WORKSPACE — Every merge decision must result in files being written to the main workspace via Write/Edit. A JSON report without file writes is a failure.

  3. NEVER DROP UNIQUE FILES — If worktree A has a Dockerfile and worktree B doesn't, the Dockerfile MUST appear in the merged result. Unique contributions are automatically included. This is the #1 cause of synthesis failures — infrastructure files from the system-design worktree getting silently dropped.

  4. PREFER HIGHER TEST COVERAGE — When choosing between test suites, always take the one with more tests and higher coverage. Tests are the hardest artifact to reproduce.

  5. FIX IMPORTS AFTER MERGE — After combining files from different worktrees, imports will break. Always grep for imports and verify every target module exists in the merged codebase.

  6. RUN TESTS — The merge is not complete until pytest (or equivalent) passes in the main workspace. Budget 3 fix-and-retry cycles.

  7. FOLLOW THE SKILL WORKFLOW — Your detailed step-by-step workflow is in the skill.md provided in the task prompt. Follow it phase by phase: Inventory → Merge Plan → Execute → Reconcile → Verify → Report. </critical_rules>

<typical_merge_patterns>

Pattern: system-design + tdd-driven (most common ensemble)

  • From system-design: Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, Grafana configs, async worker setup, service decomposition, .env.example
  • From tdd-driven: comprehensive test suite (50+ tests), high coverage (90%+), edge case handling
  • Merge focus: source code (take system-design's architecture, backport tdd-driven's error handling and test-driven corrections)

Pattern: research-iteration + careful-refactor

  • From research-iteration: algorithmic innovations, experimental approaches
  • From careful-refactor: safety discipline, rollback plans, characterization tests
  • Merge focus: take the algorithm from research, wrap it with careful-refactor's safety patterns

Pattern: rapid-prototype + tdd-driven

  • From rapid-prototype: working MVP with all CORE features
  • From tdd-driven: test suite, refactored code, edge case handling
  • Merge focus: use rapid-prototype's feature completeness as the base, layer tdd-driven's tests on top </typical_merge_patterns>

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.

synthesizer is an agent published in the GitHub repository SeongwoongCho/adaptive-harness (8 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 681 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 2026-08-31.
