What it does

Emerge Reverse Synthesis is an agent skill from jianzhichun/emerge. Distill Emerge reverse flywheel raw operator events into a structured synthesis result. Use when a lead agent receives synthesisjobready with skillname=emerge-reverse-synthesis.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

A lead agent receives synthesisjobready with skillname=emerge-reverse-synthesis

Example prompts

“/emerge-reverse-synthesis”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Infer the smallest reusable operation from raw operator events.
Parameterize operator-specific values through __args[...] only when they are likely inputs.
Keep stable connector constants literal.
Assign result for read mode or action for write mode.
Remove debug code and narration from final code.
Include a clear rationale describing event evidence and parameter choices.
Validate the candidate through icc_exec with no_replay=true; write only a pending artifact unless the operator explicitly approves…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 035db30. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).
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

Emerge Reverse Synthesis loads about 451 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~451

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: emerge-reverse-synthesis
description: Distill Emerge reverse flywheel raw operator events into a structured synthesis result. Use when a lead agent receives synthesis_job_ready with skill_name=emerge-reverse-synthesis.

Emerge Reverse Synthesis

Purpose

Turn repeated raw operator events into a deterministic pipeline candidate. The daemon only packages the job and validates your result.

Inputs

Use the synthesis_job_ready job payload:

normalized_intent: detected operator behavior
events: raw operator events
connector_notes and synthesis_hints
context_hint, machine_ids, detector_signals

Rules

Infer the smallest reusable operation from raw operator events.
Parameterize operator-specific values through __args[...] only when they are likely inputs.
Keep stable connector constants literal.
Assign __result for read mode or __action for write mode.
Remove debug code and narration from final code.
Include a clear rationale describing event evidence and parameter choices.
Validate the candidate through icc_exec with no_replay=true; write only a pending artifact unless the operator explicitly approves activation.

Output JSON

Use this shape in your working notes and pending artifact rationale:

json

{
  "connector": "desktop_drafting_app",
  "mode": "write",
  "pipeline_name": "create_room_labels",
  "code": "__action = {'ok': True, 'created': []}",
  "confidence": 0.82,
  "rationale": "raw operator events repeatedly added room labels on the same layer; label text is parameterized via __args.",
  "verify_strategy": {
    "required_fields": []
  }
}

Quality Bar

The generated code is compiled once, then runs without LLM. Treat this as compile-time distillation, not runtime reasoning.
