Meta-Pattern Recognition

Meta-Pattern Recognition is a skill for Claude Code from RudyCity/superagent. It costs 17 tokens per session (423 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of Meta-Pattern Recognition, MIT.

A guide to recognizing the same underlying pattern across different technical fields. It uses examples such as caching, layering, queuing, and pooling to extract general principles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when comparing designs across domains, looking for reusable architecture principles, or explaining why similar solutions work in different contexts.
Why use it?
It helps turn repeated observations into reusable ideas that can guide decisions in unfamiliar systems.

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

Meta-Pattern Recognition 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 3d 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

Meta-Pattern Recognition

Overview

When the same pattern appears in 3+ domains, it's probably a universal principle worth extracting.

Core principle: Find patterns in how patterns emerge.

Quick Reference

Pattern Appears In Abstract Form Where Else?
CPU/DB/HTTP/DNS caching Store frequently-accessed data closer LLM prompt caching, CDN
Layering (network/storage/compute) Separate concerns into abstraction levels Architecture, organization
Queuing (message/task/request) Decouple producer from consumer with buffer Event systems, async processing
Pooling (connection/thread/object) Reuse expensive resources Memory management, resource governance

Process

  1. Spot repetition - See same shape in 3+ places
  2. Extract abstract form - Describe independent of any domain
  3. Identify variations - How does it adapt per domain?
  4. Check applicability - Where else might this help?

Example

Pattern spotted: Rate limiting in API throttling, traffic shaping, circuit breakers, admission control

Abstract form: Bound resource consumption to prevent exhaustion

Variation points: What resource, what limit, what happens when exceeded

New application: LLM token budgets (same pattern - prevent context window exhaustion)

Red Flags You're Missing Meta-Patterns

  • "This problem is unique" (probably not)
  • Multiple teams independently solving "different" problems identically
  • Reinventing wheels across domains
  • "Haven't we done something like this?" (yes, find it)

Remember

  • 3+ domains = likely universal
  • Abstract form reveals new applications
  • Variations show adaptation points
  • Universal patterns are battle-tested
