meta-synthesis

meta-synthesis is a skill for Claude Code from stefanoskarakasis/Product-Marketing-Skills. It costs 106 tokens per session (2,331 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A pattern-review tool examines records of previous work sessions to find lessons that recur across at least two sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Review session history, suggest guardrails and knowledge updates, and apply the ones the user approves.
Why use it?
It helps turn repeated observations into agreed rules or updates to shared project knowledge instead of losing them between sessions.

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-synthesis 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 today.

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.

meta-synthesis — Skill

How This Works

Reads the session log every execution skill already writes to, finds patterns that repeat across 2 or more sessions, and turns confirmed patterns into either a guardrail (for /context/meta-patterns.md) or a brain update (for /foundation/brain.md). This is what makes the rest of the stack compound instead of starting fresh every session.

The skill runs in 5 steps:

Step 0 — Load /context/skill-sessions.md and /context/meta-patterns.md. Block if the session log doesn't exist or has zero rows.

Step 1 — Scan sessions for repeated patterns, both within one skill and across skills.

Step 2 — Rank patterns by confidence (occurrence count) and propose next action for each.

Step 3 — Surface proposed guardrails and brain updates, gated on user approval.

Step 4 — Write approved guardrails to /context/meta-patterns.md and approved brain updates to /foundation/brain.md. Log the session.


Trigger

  • When: Detecting patterns across 2+ prior sessions logged by other skills, and turning confirmed patterns into guardrails or brain updates.
  • Not for: Real-time feedback during a session — execution skills already check /context/meta-patterns.md at their own Step 0. Auditing a single skill's output quality → use meta-review. One-off pattern lookups — this skill's value is in running it repeatedly.
  • Example prompts:
    • "run meta-synthesis"
    • "what patterns are emerging"
    • "detect cross-skill signals"
    • "update guardrails"
    • "compound our learnings"
    • "what should we remember"

Inputs

  • Args: Timeframe to analyze — all sessions, or a specific window (e.g. last 30 days). Asked in Step 0 if not specified.
  • Defaults: All sessions in /context/skill-sessions.md if no timeframe is given.
  • Context keys:
    • /context/skill-sessions.md — required. The session log every execution skill writes to.
    • /context/meta-patterns.md — optional; loaded if it exists, treated as empty otherwise.
    • /foundation/brain.md — optional; Sections 1-6 loaded silently as baseline context for proposed updates.
    • Brain contract: Reads Sections 1-6. Writes: Section named in an approved brain-update proposal only, after explicit user approval (Step 3).

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.

meta-synthesis is a skill published in the GitHub repository stefanoskarakasis/Product-Marketing-Skills (5 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 106 tokens to every session and 2,331 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
