pattern-discovery

pattern-discovery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bybren-llc/a-safe-pulse. It costs 39 tokens per session (459 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of pattern-discovery, MIT.

A development check that searches a project's pattern library before new code is written. A pattern library is a collection of existing examples and conventions for APIs, user interfaces, databases, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before adding an API route, UI component, database operation, or other new feature. It helps find, adapt, and validate existing project patterns.
Why use it?
It helps prevent duplicate or inconsistent implementations by reusing established project approaches. If no matching example exists, it directs the developer to inspect the codebase and record the gap.

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

pattern-discovery 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 3d 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

Pattern Discovery Skill

Purpose

Enforce pattern-first development by checking the pattern library before implementing new functionality.

When to Use

  • About to create a new API route
  • About to create a new UI component
  • About to add database operations
  • User asks "how do I implement..." or "how should I build..."

Pattern Discovery Protocol

ALWAYS check patterns before writing new code:

Step 1: Check Pattern Library

ls patterns_library/api/      # API route patterns
# UI patterns archived (see docs/archive/harness-upstream/patterns-ui/)
ls patterns_library/database/ # Database patterns
ls patterns_library/testing/  # Testing patterns

Step 2: Review Pattern Index

See patterns_library/README.md for the complete index.

Step 3: Apply or Escalate

If pattern exists: Copy, customize, validate.

If missing: Search codebase, implement following conventions, report gap.

Pattern Matching Guide

If you need to... Use this pattern
Create authenticated API endpoint api/user-context-api.md
Create admin-only API endpoint api/admin-context-api.md
Handle external webhooks api/webhook-handler.md
Validate API input with Zod api/zod-validation-api.md
Create protected page ui/authenticated-page.md
Build form with validation ui/form-with-validation.md
Add new table with RLS database/rls-migration.md
Test API endpoints testing/api-integration-test.md

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
