patterns-promote

patterns-promote is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Snowflake-Labs/cocoplus. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,414 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for turning a confirmed project finding into a reusable written pattern in a shared library.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review, score, tag, and promote findings that are durable, broadly useful, and likely to prevent mistakes or breakage.
Why use it?
It helps preserve useful lessons so future work can reuse them instead of rediscovering the same solution.

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

patterns-promote 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Your objective is to promote a CocoCupper finding to a CocoGrove pattern.

Before proceeding, verify that .cocoplus/ exists. If not: output "CocoPlus not initialized in this directory. Run $pod init to begin." Then stop.

$grove score <pattern-id> — Promotion Scoring (Durability × Impact × Scope)

Before any promotion is confirmed, run invoke cocogrove/grove-score --id <pattern-id> (or run this scoring interactively when invoked directly as $grove score). Score the candidate pattern on three dimensions, each zero to three:

  • Durability — 0: one-time fix · 1: temporary workaround · 2: stable pattern · 3: architectural truth. Assesses whether the pattern remains valid for 30+ days and across schema/data changes.
  • Impact — 0: nice-to-know · 1: saves a minute · 2: prevents mistakes · 3: prevents breakage.
  • Scope — 0: one file only · 1: one directory · 2: entire CocoPod · 3: all CocoPods of this type.

Decision thresholds:

  • Total ≥ 6 → promote (move to CocoSkill or convention store)
  • Total 4–5 → watch (revisit next review cycle)
  • Total ≤ 3 → ignore (leave in capture store or delete if stale)
  • Override: a score of 3 on any single dimension is a strong promotion candidate regardless of total — any architectural truth, any breakage-preventing finding, or any CocoPod-universal pattern requires explicit human review before demotion, even if the total would otherwise suggest "watch" or "ignore".

Display the scoring summary and decision threshold result before promotion is confirmed:

CocoGrove Promotion Score — [pattern-id]
  Durability: [0-3]  Impact: [0-3]  Scope: [0-3]  Total: [N]
  Decision: PROMOTE | WATCH | IGNORE [+ override note if a single-dimension 3 applies]

Distillation Rules

Apply all three before writing any convention entry — these are mandatory text transformations, not style preferences:

  1. Descriptive-to-prescriptive — the text must be a direct instruction, not an observation. ("This project uses pnpm" → "Use pnpm install, not npm.")
  2. Verbose-to-concise — completable in two sentences or fewer; longer explanation belongs in a linked reference file, not the convention entry itself.
  3. Conditional-to-absolute — hedging language ("sometimes", "might", "can", "it depends") must resolve to a specific condition or be removed. A hedging entry is a note to self, not an instruction.

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.

patterns-promote is a skill published in the GitHub repository Snowflake-Labs/cocoplus (720 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,414 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 2026-09-03.
