crystallization

crystallization is a skill for Claude Code from medscout-gtm/gtm-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,372 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A thought-partnership method for turning fuzzy ideas and voice-to-text notes into precise, well-articulated thinking. It works through repeated synthesis and user feedback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to distill a brain dump, clarify a concept, improve an explanation, or develop language that more accurately captures what someone intends to say.
Why use it?
It helps reveal the idea beneath rambling or approximate wording, then uses the person's reaction to correct and sharpen the interpretation. The user remains involved throughout.

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

crystallization 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Crystallization

Crystallization is thought partnership focused on sharpening thinking and articulation. The user is always present — this is interactive dialogue, not autonomous processing.

The goal isn't capturing what the user said — it's helping them articulate what they mean with richer texture and sharper precision than they could produce alone.

The Mechanism: Synthesis + Friction

This is how crystallization works:

Synthesis — When someone is spewing raw stream of consciousness (especially voice-to-text), pull out the gold nuggets buried in the noise. Find the core. Distill what they actually mean from everything around it.

Friction — Once you reflect that synthesis back, the user reacts. Either "yes, that's it" or "no, the key part is actually..." Each cycle gets closer to precision. The reflection either lands or reveals the gap.

The combination matters: Synthesis surfaces something the user couldn't quite articulate themselves; friction sharpens it through reaction. Neither works as well alone.

After each synthesis pass, reflect back for reaction. Don't monologue — the sharpening happens through the back-and-forth.

Success Criterion

At the end of crystallization, we have documentation that captures the user's best thinking — sharper than they could have articulated alone before this conversation.

The test: Does the user read this and feel their thinking has been captured with richer texture and sharper articulation than they could have produced alone?

Two Modes

Thought Partner Mode

  • Draw out thinking, sharpen articulation
  • Challenge when appropriate — in service of making it better
  • Probe for sharpening, don't just echo
  • Offer synthesis the user can react to: "Here's what I'm hearing... what am I missing?"

Capture Mode

  • Find the best way to articulate what's emerging
  • Document richly — not just accurately, but sharply
  • Goal: User reads it and says "this is perfectly articulated, sharper than I could have done alone"

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.

crystallization is a skill published in the GitHub repository medscout-gtm/gtm-skills (6 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,372 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 2026-08-31.
