Meta-Pattern Recognition

Meta-Pattern Recognition is a skill for Claude Code from huuanh20/awesome-ai-agent-skills. It costs 17 tokens per session (485 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of Meta-Pattern Recognition, MIT.

A problem-solving guide for noticing the same pattern in at least three different areas and extracting a general rule from it. For example, it compares caching, layering, queues, pooling, and rate limits across different systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when similar structures appear across several domains and you want to identify the shared principle, its variations, and other places where it may apply.
Why use it?
It helps turn repeated observations into reusable design ideas. This can make solutions easier to apply beyond the original system where the pattern was noticed.

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

Meta-Pattern Recognition 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.

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.

Meta-Pattern Recognition

Overview

When the same pattern appears in 3+ domains, it's probably a universal principle worth extracting.

Core principle: Find patterns in how patterns emerge.

Quick Reference

Pattern Appears In Abstract Form Where Else?
CPU/DB/HTTP/DNS caching Store frequently-accessed data closer LLM prompt caching, CDN, browser cache
Layering (network/storage/compute) Separate concerns into abstraction levels Clean architecture, OS rings
Queuing (message/task/request) Decouple producer from consumer with buffer Event systems, async processing, print queues
Pooling (connection/thread/object) Reuse expensive resources Memory management, worker pools
Rate limiting (API/traffic/admission) Bound resource consumption to prevent exhaustion LLM token budgets, DB connection limits

Process

  1. Spot repetition — See same shape in 3+ places
  2. Extract abstract form — Describe it independent of any domain
  3. Identify variations — How does it adapt per domain?
  4. Check applicability — Where else might this pattern help?

Example

Pattern spotted: Rate limiting in API throttling, traffic shaping, circuit breakers, admission control, connection pooling

Abstract form: Bound resource consumption to prevent exhaustion

Variation points: What resource, what limit, what happens when exceeded (reject / queue / degrade)

New application: LLM token budgets (same pattern — prevent context window exhaustion)

Red Flags You're Missing Meta-Patterns

  • "This problem is unique" (it probably isn't)
  • Multiple teams independently solving "different" problems identically
  • Reinventing wheels across domains
  • "Haven't we done something like this?" (yes — find it)
  • Writing the same logic in 3+ different places

Remember

  • 3+ domains = likely universal principle
  • Abstract form reveals new applications
  • Variations show adaptation points
  • Universal patterns are battle-tested across contexts
