pattern-detection

A helper that notices repeated code structures, development practices, and multi-step workflows that could be reused or automated later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Spotting reusable testing, API, error-handling, setup, review, deployment, and documentation patterns during implementation.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that useful solutions remain one-off code or undocumented habits.

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-detection 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 2d 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.

Pattern Detection Skill

Recognize and note reusable patterns during implementation for potential contribution to Product Forge.

Purpose

When working on projects, Claude often implements patterns that could benefit the broader Product Forge ecosystem. This skill helps identify those patterns so they can be captured by the feedback hooks and potentially become new skills, commands, or templates.

Pattern Categories

Code Patterns

Implementations that follow consistent, reusable structures:

  • Factory patterns - Test fixtures, mock builders, data generators
  • Service layer patterns - Repository, command, query separation
  • Error handling - Consistent error types, recovery strategies
  • API patterns - Response formatting, pagination, filtering
  • Testing patterns - Fixtures, assertions, mocking strategies

Workflow Patterns

Multi-step processes that could be automated:

  • Project setup - Directory structures, config files, initial scaffolding
  • Code review - Checklists, validation steps, quality gates
  • Deployment - Build, test, deploy sequences
  • Documentation - Auto-generation, formatting, templates

Configuration Patterns

Settings and configurations that are commonly needed:

  • Tool configurations - Linter rules, formatters, CI/CD
  • Environment setup - Development, staging, production
  • Integration patterns - API keys, service connections

Recognition Triggers

Note patterns when you observe:

  1. Repetition: Same structure implemented 3+ times
  2. Best practice: Industry-standard patterns being applied
  3. Automation opportunity: Manual process that could be scripted
  4. Convention enforcement: Rules applied manually that could be automated
  5. Boilerplate reduction: Repeated code that could be templated

Quality Criteria

Only patterns worth capturing should be:

Criterion Description
Reusable Applies to multiple projects or contexts
Non-trivial More than simple one-liners or obvious code
Generalizable Not too specific to one codebase
Documented Can be explained clearly to others
Tested Validated in at least one real project

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.

pattern-detection is a skill published in the GitHub repository jpoutrin/product-forge (15 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 1,146 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
