conceptual-blending

conceptual-blending is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine. It costs 37 tokens per session (665 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured method for combining two or more concepts by identifying their shared features and selectively transferring their relationships into a new blend. It also examines new properties that may arise from the combination.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to combine conceptual models, explore combinations across several spaces, and develop ideas based on possible new properties.
Why use it?
It provides a step-by-step way to generate research ideas without treating unrelated concepts as interchangeable. It also checks whether the concepts are compatible before combining them.

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

conceptual-blending 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 1mo 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.

Purpose

Blend multiple input spaces through a generic space and selective projection to generate emergent research ideas.

Input contract

mode_contracts:
  two-space-blend: &blending_input
    required: [input_spaces]
    optional: [compatibility_constraints]
    constraints: [each_input_space_must_have_explicit_entities_and_relations]
  multi-space-blend: *blending_input
  emergent-property-search: *blending_input

Execution protocol

Do not perform called SOP operations inline; each loaded SOP owns its contract and thresholds.

  1. You MUST load skill construct-input-spaces to construct the input spaces.
  2. You MUST load skill extract-generic-space to extract the generic space.
  3. You MUST load skill simulate-emergent-properties to simulate emergent properties.
  4. You MUST load skill evaluate-compatibility to check compatibility.
  5. You MUST load skill synthesize-idea to synthesize the blend. If the blend should be explored across a systematic combination space, consider explore-dimensional-space. If its claimed structural transfer needs formal testing, consider audit-structural-equivalence. Deviation: two-space and multi-space modes change only the number of inputs; generic-space extraction is mandatory.

Mode branches

  • two-space-blend: blend two explicit input spaces.
  • multi-space-blend: blend three or more spaces while preserving each projection trace.
  • emergent-property-search: prioritize properties absent from every source space alone.

Output contract

mode_contracts:
  two-space-blend: &space_blend_output
    produces: [input_space_set, generic_space, blend_candidates, idea_set]
    delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, uncertainties, decisions, open_questions]
  multi-space-blend: *space_blend_output
  emergent-property-search:
    produces: [input_space_set, blend_candidates, emergent_property_report, idea_set]
    delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, uncertainties, decisions, open_questions]

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.

conceptual-blending is a skill published in the GitHub repository yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine (510 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 665 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-24.
