sync-brief

sync-brief is a skill for Claude Code from Mexregkan/claude-for-researchers. It costs 0 tokens per session (437 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for carrying important changes from a detailed LaTeX workbook into a shorter brief. It focuses on changes that alter established results, definitions, or formulas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after changing a theorem, formula, definition, or mathematical conclusion in workbook.tex so the corresponding statement in brief.tex is updated.
Why use it?
It keeps the summary document aligned with the main mathematical document without copying routine rewrites or typo fixes.

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

sync-brief 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.

What it actually says

sync-brief

Propagate load-bearing changes from workbook.tex to brief.tex.

When to invoke

After establishing a new result, correcting a formula, or completing a section in workbook.tex. NOT for every edit — only for changes that affect what is established.

What "load-bearing" means

Propagate:

  • New theorem or proposition (statement, not proof)
  • Corrected formula (sign flip, wrong prefactor, wrong argument)
  • New result about the mathematical structure (new pole, new residue value, etc.)
  • Change to a key definition
  • A claim moved from "open" to "established" (or vice versa)

Do NOT propagate:

  • Pedagogical re-derivations of existing results
  • Reorganization / renaming without content change
  • Summary and outlook subsections
  • Typo fixes

When in doubt, ask the user.

Steps

  1. Identify the change. Ask the user what changed, or run git diff workbook.tex to see recent edits.

  2. Classify. Apply the load-bearing filter above. If ambiguous, ask.

  3. Locate the corresponding section in brief.tex. Grep for a related label, theorem name, or keyword. Do NOT read brief.tex in full.

  4. Make the targeted edit. In brief.tex:

    • Add the new theorem statement (without proof)
    • Replace the old formula with the corrected one
    • Update the "Status" line (ESTABLISHED / OPEN / CORRECTED)
    • Add a cross-reference to the workbook.tex section label
  5. Compile brief.tex (use /latex-compile brief.tex).

  6. Report:

    • What was propagated (which result, from which section)
    • What was deemed not load-bearing and skipped
    • Compilation status

Output format

Propagated: [result name] from sec:[label] → brief.tex §N (eq. [label])
Skipped (not load-bearing): [what and why]
brief.tex: M pages, clean.
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.

sync-brief is a skill published in the GitHub repository Mexregkan/claude-for-researchers (52 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 437 tokens. 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.
