synthesis-okf

synthesis-okf is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills. It costs 147 tokens per session (2,424 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A toolkit for checking, converting, and writing markdown knowledge bundles that follow Google’s Open Knowledge Format, which uses Markdown files with YAML information at the top.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate bundles, add missing format information, check consistency across files, and author OKF-compatible content.
Why use it?
It helps ensure a knowledge repository follows the format and makes existing Markdown files conform to it.

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

synthesis-okf 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/okf_consistency.py, scripts/okf_convert.py, scripts/okf_validate.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 179 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

synthesis-okf

Google's Open Knowledge Format (OKF v0.1, announced 2026-06-12) formalizes a pattern many "LLM wiki" knowledge bases already use: a directory tree of markdown files with YAML frontmatter, readable by any agent that can cat a file, shippable by anyone who can git clone a repo. Per the spec's own §10, this is exactly the pattern OKF names as one of its target use cases — the differentiator is only that it's now specified.

Google's reference repo (github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/knowledge-catalog/tree/main/okf) ships an enrichment agent and an HTML visualizer, but no conformance validator or converter. This skill fills that gap: a conformance validator, a converter, a house-consistency checker, and a procedure proven across several real-world repo conversions.

The spec, in brief

A bundle is a directory (conventionally a repo's source/ directory, or the whole repo for a dedicated knowledge repo). A concept is one markdown file: one unit of knowledge. Conformance (§9) has exactly three hard rules:

  1. Every non-reserved .md file has a parseable YAML frontmatter block.
  2. Every frontmatter block has a non-empty type field.
  3. Reserved filenames (index.md, log.md) follow their defined structure when present.

Everything else — missing optional fields (title, description, tags, timestamp, resource), unknown type values, broken cross-links, missing index.md — is soft guidance. A validator or consumer must not reject a bundle for any of it. Full spec: references/okf-spec-v0.1.md (verbatim, 451 lines).

index.md and log.md are the only two reserved filenames. index.md is a directory listing for progressive disclosure and carries no frontmatter, except the bundle-root index.md, which may declare okf_version: "0.1". log.md is a chronological change history (## YYYY-MM-DD headings, newest first). Both are excluded from a bundle's own "knowledge" content — they're navigation scaffolding, not concepts.

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.
