diverge-converge

diverge-converge is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from linshidream/skill-hub. It costs 175 tokens per session (5,378 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured thinking method for turning an incomplete idea into a detailed, workable plan. It first explores possibilities and overlooked issues, then settles decisions into a written draft.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to shape software designs, research plans, business strategies, product ideas, policies, writing projects, or other open-ended problems into a handoff-ready manuscript.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of committing too early to a flawed approach or discovering major constraints late. It also preserves the reasoning, rejected alternatives, and decisions for later work.

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

diverge-converge 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 9d 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.

扩散收敛法 (Diverge–Converge)

一种与 Agent 共建的思维方法。不是帮用户执行某个方案,而是陪用户生长出方案——从一个看不清全貌的想法,到一份任何智能体都能接手的手稿。

这个 skill 是什么

它定义的是协议,不是脚本:当用户带着一个不成熟的想法来,这个 skill 规定 agent 如何扮演思维合伙人,通过受控的扩散与收敛,把模糊想法逼近成完整可实施方案,最后结晶为手稿。

核心交付不是任何单轮回答,而是累积锁定的决策 + 其依据 + 被否决的备选——最终沉淀为一份手稿,成为后续与其他 agent 协作的工作基础。

为什么是"先扩散,后收敛"

一个不成熟的想法有隐藏的完整形状。想法的主人看不见它,因为缺少地图。

  • 若不先扩散就收敛:你在看不见地形时就承诺了一条路,只能做局部优化,等撞上承重约束时已经太晚、改动成本已经很高。(典型:软件里的时区暗礁、研究里被忽略的混杂变量、创业里没算到的现金流回款周期——这些都是"以为是一行字"、实则改写整个方案的点,只有扩散才能在便宜的时候暴露它们。)
  • 扩散的职责:把用户不知道的点、可能相关的点铺开,扩张地图,暴露未知的未知 (unknown-unknowns)。
  • 收敛的职责:每次锁定一个决策,直到所有问题都解决完,一条可走通的完整路径浮现——MVP 方案就有了。

扩散与收敛不是两个阶段,是一台双相引擎。每一轮对话都可能既扩张某个子领域、又锁死一个决策。随着轮次推进,重心从"以扩散为主"平滑滑向"以收敛为主"。

使用场景(触发信号)

  • 用户带着半成熟想法,说"先扩散后收敛"、"扩散收敛一下"、"diverge-converge"、"帮我把这个想法展开"
  • 用户想在动手前"看清这件事的全貌"、"有哪些我没考虑到的点"
  • 用户想把一段多轮探讨/头脑风暴结晶成一份可实施文档/会议纪要/手稿
  • 任何复杂、开放、没有现成答案的课题:软件架构、研究选题、商业决策、产品设计、政策制定、写作框架、职业规划……

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.
