synthesizing-cc-bigpicture

synthesizing-cc-bigpicture is a skill for Claude Code from qte77/claude-code-plugins. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,371 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool that combines Claude Code sessions, plans, tasks, and team messages into a living overview of a project. It creates a high-level plan showing how separate pieces of work fit together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review one project or all projects, filter the review by time, and save a big-picture document to a chosen or automatically selected path.
Why use it?
It helps when project information is spread across many conversations and files. The overview makes goals, reasoning, progress, and direction easier to understand.

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

synthesizing-cc-bigpicture 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 7d 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.

Big-Picture Synthesis

Target: $ARGUMENTS

Synthesizes a plan to plan — an overarching view across all Claude Code artifacts. A reasoning tool that connects sessions, plans, tasks, and memories into a coherent narrative of what you're working on, why, and where you're headed.

Arguments

Position Name Required Default Description
1 project-name no all projects Filter to a single project (substring, case-insensitive). Use all for all.
2 time-range no all time E.g. 7d, 30d, this-week.
3 output-path no auto Where to write output.

Default output path:

  • project-name set: <decoded-project-path>/docs/bigpicture.md
  • all or omitted: ~/.claude/bigpicture.md
  • Explicit output-path: overrides both.

Project matching: Matched against decoded ~/.claude/projects/<encoded-path>/ directories (-/ in encoding). Substring match on any path segment.

Examples:

/synthesizing-cc-bigpicture                          # All → ~/.claude/bigpicture.md
/synthesizing-cc-bigpicture Agents-eval              # Single → project docs/
/synthesizing-cc-bigpicture Agents-eval 7d           # Single, last 7 days
/synthesizing-cc-bigpicture all 30d ./bigpicture.md  # All, 30 days, custom path

When to Use

  • Starting a work session — orient across projects
  • Planning what to work on next — strategic prioritization
  • Sprint/week boundary — maintain the meta-plan
  • Feeling stuck — surface current reasoning mode and whether a shift is needed

Do Not Use

  • Searching a specific past conversation (use /resume or /history)
  • Per-session context (session-memory does this automatically)
  • Real-time usage monitoring (use /insights)

Project Filtering

When project-name is set (not all), ALL data collection and output must respect the filter. Apply these rules once, consistently:

  1. Session allowlist: From history.jsonl, collect sessionId values whose project field matches (case-insensitive).
  2. Project dirs: Filter ~/.claude/projects/*/ to matching decoded paths.
  3. Plans: Content-based — include only plans mentioning the project name.
  4. Tasks: Match task dir names against session allowlist (UUIDs) or filtered team names.
  5. Teams: Include only teams whose config.json references the project name.
  6. Session .jsonl: Only read files whose UUID is in the session allowlist.
  7. Output: Every section scoped to filtered data only. Exception: "Cross-Project Connections" may reference other projects as outbound links.

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.
