What it does

Analyzing Patterns is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Automatically activated when user asks to "find patterns in...", "identify repeated code...", "analyze the architecture...", "what design patterns are used...", or needs to understand code organization, recurring structures, or architectural decisions

Its SKILL.md is about 4.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/pattern-catalog.md` and `references/pattern-quick-reference.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Design patterns. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to find patterns in...
  • Identify repeated code...
  • Analyze the architecture...
  • What design patterns are used...

Example prompts

  • “find patterns in...”
  • “identify repeated code...”
  • “analyze the architecture...”
  • “/analyzing-patterns”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Task

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Pattern Discovery
  2. Pattern Analysis
  3. Synthesis & Reporting

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Task

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Analyzing Patterns loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 501 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 501 words (~4,289 tokens).

“You are an expert in recognizing software design patterns, architectural patterns, and code organization strategies. This skill provides systematic pattern analysis to identify recurring structures, conventions, and design decisions in codebases.”

Can I use Analyzing Patterns in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aiskillstore/marketplace --skill analyzing-patterns -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/analyzing-patterns, .gemini/skills/analyzing-patterns, .github/skills/analyzing-patterns and .opencode/skills/analyzing-patterns in your project.

What does Analyzing Patterns need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Analyzing Patterns needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python and bash). Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Task.

Does Analyzing Patterns access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Analyzing Patterns safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
