homoiconic-meta-schema

homoiconic-meta-schema is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AnthonyAlcaraz/agentic-graph-rag-skills. It costs 227 tokens per session (2,165 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A knowledge representation where code and data use the same structure, allowing an agent to inspect and change its own knowledge definitions. It includes schemas that describe other schemas and rules stored as graph entities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate entity types and their instances, represent operational rules, and update knowledge structures as the system learns.
Why use it?
It lets the same validation and reasoning machinery check both the structure of knowledge and the data stored within it.

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

homoiconic-meta-schema 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (cli.py, lib.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Homoiconic Meta-Schema

Overview

Agent-friendly knowledge graphs need homoiconicity: code and data in the same representation, so agents can inspect and modify their own operational logic. Ch3 gives two constructs.

Meta-knowledge structures (Example 3-6). A metaschema describes the schema itself — it defines what an EntityType is (a name, a description, a list of property definitions). Then domain knowledge is stored using the same representation: a Person entity-type is just data with name, birth_date, occupation properties. The syntax of schema and data is identical. This skill runs the same validation at both levels: validate_entity_type checks a type against the metaschema; validate_data_against_type checks an instance against its type. Same machinery, two levels — that is the homoiconic property doing real work. It lets agents reason about knowledge completeness, dynamically update schemas as they learn, and self-evolve without external reprogramming.

Executable knowledge patterns (Example 3-7). Operational rules become first-class graph entities. A Rule has descriptive metadata, a condition (graph pattern match), and an action (tiered WHEN ... THEN SET ... / ELSE). Because the rule is data, agents can reason about rules, not just follow them — discover, modify, create rules, and explain decisions by citing the rule. This skill parses the tiered action, validates the rule has a parseable clause, and evaluates it in source order against facts (DetermineCustomerSegment: 25 purchases -> Premium, 15 -> Regular, 3 -> Basic). The DevOps OperationalRule (ValidateProductionDeployment) is the same construct applied to infrastructure.

When to Use

  • Building agents that reason about or modify their own schema (Ch7 self-evolution)
  • Storing business/operational rules as queryable graph data, not hidden code
  • Validating agent-proposed schema extensions before applying them
  • Representing the ontology itself as data the agent can query

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.

homoiconic-meta-schema is a skill published in the GitHub repository AnthonyAlcaraz/agentic-graph-rag-skills (10 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 227 tokens to every session and 2,165 once invoked, about $0.0011 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.
