Extract common patterns from multiple instance outputs, find what persists
Profile →npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill pattern-synthesis --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Pattern Synthesis ## Purpose When you run N instances, you get N outputs. Most will be different. **Pattern synthesis asks:** What's the same across all of them? What patterns **persist** even when the specific details change? ## The Key Insight **Specific answer:** "The answer is 42" **Pattern:** "The answer is always the answer when you ask the right question" The pattern is more robust than the specific answer. ## Core Pattern ``` Instance 1: X₁ ─┐ Instance 2: X₂ ─┼─→ Pattern Extractor Instance 3: X₃ ─┤ (what's the same?) Instance 4: X₄ ─┘ Result: "All outputs have property P" "All outputs follow rule R" "The common thread is C" ``` ## Key Features 1. **Invariant Detection** - What doesn't change? 2. **Structure Extraction** - What form is repeated? 3. **Noise Filtering** - What's signal vs. noise? 4. **Meta-Pattern Recognition** - Patterns about patterns 5. **Generalization** - From examples to principle ## Implementation See: `.claude/skills/pattern-synthesis/pattern_extractor.py` ## Examples **Input:** 4 different solutions to a problem **Output:** "All solutions follow this architectural pattern" **Input:** 6 different explanations of a concept **Output:** "Core idea is X,

What does the pattern-synthesis skill do?
Extract common patterns from multiple instance outputs, find what persists
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill pattern-synthesis --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
