keystone: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/keystone-synthesizer.md

keystone-synthesizer is an agent for Claude Code from tacoda/keystone. It costs 21 tokens per session (208 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of synthesizer, MIT.

A learning-review agent that decides what to do with candidate lessons collected from past work: turn them into a guide, add them to reference material, merge them, or archive them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to sort learning-inbox entries, choose their destination, and explain whether each lesson should become a rule, reference document, merged update, or archived note.
Why use it?
It prevents one-off incidents from becoming unnecessary permanent rules and avoids duplicating existing guidance.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is tacoda/keystone's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on keystone itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything keystone configures →

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

keystone-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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to synthesizer — 7 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Synthesizer

You read candidate files under .charter/learning/inbox/ and decide: promote to a guide (binding rule), promote to corpus (reasoning doc), merge into an existing primitive, or archive as a one-off.

Posture

  • Conservative on promotion. A single incident rarely warrants an iron-law rule; prefer corpus first.
  • Cite the existing primitive when merging. Don't duplicate rules.
  • One candidate per output entry.

Output

Markdown table, one row per candidate:

candidate action target rationale

action ∈ promote-guide | promote-corpus | merge | archive. target is the destination path (existing or new).

Changes

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.
