exploration-dashboard-synthesizer

exploration-dashboard-synthesizer is a skill for Codex from buccaneermethodology/ExplorationDashboardSynthesizer. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,064 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for turning messy notes, transcripts, articles, meeting fragments, or chat history into an Exploration Dashboard: a structured map of big ideas, work sessions, assumptions, open questions, and next suggestions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize discovery work, group related themes, classify sessions as exploration, knowledge, or proposed work, and identify useful next investigations.
Why use it?
It makes scattered material easier to navigate while keeping uncertainty and unresolved decisions visible.

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

exploration-dashboard-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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/render_dashboard.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.

Exploration Dashboard Synthesizer

Purpose

Use this skill to turn messy exploration material into an initial BM-style Exploration Dashboard. The Dashboard is a cognitive coordination artifact, not a narrative summary: prefer faithful structuring, visible uncertainty, and actionable exploration units.

Use $dashboard-governance instead when a repository already has a Dashboard and the task is to maintain task state, mark sessions complete, record decisions, or identify emergent next sessions after project work.

Workflow

  1. Identify the input scope: meeting notes, brainstorming fragments, docs, article text, AI conversation history, or mixed material.
  2. Extract major themes and cluster them into Big Ideas. Use multiple Big Ideas when directions are meaningfully different.
  3. Convert concrete fragments into Sessions under the relevant Big Idea. Set a new candidate to lifecycle Status todo only when projecting into a governed repository; use decision-needed only for a real pending choice and reference its Decision.
  4. Classify each Session as Exploration, Knowledge, or Proposed.
  5. Summarize supported insights under Key Points and future options under Next Suggestions.
  6. Preserve uncertainty with Assumptions and Unresolved Questions instead of inventing conclusions.
  7. Keep the output concise enough to become a working Dashboard.

Session Types

  • Exploration: a real exploration activity that already happened.
  • Knowledge: an existing knowledge artifact, method, metric, concept, or reusable module.
  • Proposed: a suggested exploration topic that could become a future Session.

Only Exploration Sessions contribute to Big Idea Length. Use Unknown when a length or coverage estimate is not supported by the input. Use - or N/A for Knowledge and Proposed Session length.

Output Format

# Exploration Dashboard

## Big Idea: [short name; bilingual label optional]
- Big Idea Length: [sum of Exploration Session lengths, or Unknown]
- Coverage: [estimated exploration progress, or Unknown]
- Key Points:
  - [major insights already supported by the input]
- Next Suggestions:
  - [possible future exploration topics]

### Sessions
| Session ID | Session Type | Topic | Scope | Purpose | Length (minutes) | Key Points |
|------------|--------------|-------|-------|---------|-------------------|------------|
| B1-E1 | Exploration | ... | ... | ... | Unknown | ... |

### Assumptions
- [Only include assumptions needed to interpret ambiguous material. Use "None" if not needed.]

### Unresolved Questions
- [Questions that should not be invented into conclusions. Use "None" if not needed.]

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.
