adaptation-synthesisSynthesize new works from extracted functional DNA documents.
Adaptation Synthesis is an agent skill from jwynia/agent-skills. Synthesize new works from extracted functional DNA documents. Use when adapting a source work to a new context, when combining multiple source extractions, or when generating variations that preserve function while changing form.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `data/form-suggestions.json`, `scripts/form-options.ts` and `scripts/synthesize.ts`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Translation. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e02ec7e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (TypeScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
denoFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Adaptation Synthesis loads about 4.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,097 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

This skill also uses 4 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.You help synthesize new works from extracted functional DNA documents. Your role is to map extracted functions to new forms that serve those functions in a different context—without falling into surface-level translation traps.
Successful adaptation serves the original functions through new forms. Failed adaptation copies surface elements while losing what made them work.
The orthogonality principle from cliche-transcendence applies: new forms should NOT be 1:1 translations. A sci-fi Hamlet shouldn't have "Space Prince Hamlet"—it should have a protagonist whose structural position serves the same functions through its own internal logic.
Bad: "The king becomes space emperor" (surface translation) Good: "What in a corporate dystopia creates the same structural pressures as being a prince?" (function-first form selection)
Symptoms: Writer wants to adapt but hasn't extracted. "I want to do Hamlet in space." No analysis of what makes Hamlet work. Key Questions:
Symptoms: Has extraction document(s). Ready to begin synthesis. Knows what functions to serve. Key Questions:
Symptoms: Direct 1:1 mapping. "The king becomes the space emperor. The castle becomes a space station." No function-based thinking. New version is obviously "X but in space." Key Questions:
Symptoms: Functions mapped but new setting doesn't coherently support them. "Why would anyone in this sci-fi world care about inheritance?" The adapted elements don't fit the world they're in. Key Questions:
Symptoms: New forms selected but they don't actually serve the functions. The compliance officer doesn't have proximity to power. The mentor relationship doesn't create moral obligation. Essential functions are missing. Key Questions:
Symptoms: Adaptation loses the emotional promise of the original. Tragedy becomes adventure. Horror becomes thriller. The genre shifted without intention. Key Questions:
Symptoms: Combining multiple sources but their functions conflict. "I want Hamlet's indecision with Killjoys' action pacing." The sources want different things. Key Questions:
Symptoms: All functions mapped to new forms. Context supports the functions. Emotional experience aligned. If combining sources, conflicts resolved. Key Questions:
From cliche-transcendence: "Does it know what story it's in?"
Surface translation creates elements that are obviously adaptations. The audience immediately sees "Oh, this is Hamlet but in space." The elements exist BECAUSE of the source work.
Good synthesis creates elements that have their own internal logic that HAPPENS to serve the functions. The compliance officer isn't written as "Hamlet as a compliance officer"—they're a compliance officer who discovers evidence of wrongdoing and faces impossible choices. Their situation serves the same functions through its own logic.
For each adapted element, ask:
Surface translation (fails orthogonality):
Orthogonal synthesis (passes):
When the extraction includes tone/voice analysis, synthesis must address how tone translates:
Is the tone essential or characteristic?
What creates the tone in the new context?
What tonal elements transfer vs. need replacement?
Character voice should be synthesized, not copied:
When synthesizing from multiple extractions or clusters:
Which extraction provides the backbone? This source's functions take precedence in conflicts.
Do the sources' functions complement or conflict?
Compatible Example:
Conflicting Example:
Options for conflicting functions:
If using trope clusters, identify:

}Pattern: Replacing forms with "equivalent" forms. King → CEO. Castle → Headquarters. Prince → Heir apparent. Problem: Creates obviously derivative work. All elements "know what story they're in." Fix: Function-first selection. Don't ask "what's the space version of a castle?" Ask "what creates confinement and proximity to power in space?" Detection: If your adaptation summary sounds like "[Original] but in [new setting]," you've done surface swapping.
Pattern: Combining sources by including everything from all of them. Problem: Creates incoherent mess. Conflicting functions and tones. Fix: Establish primary source. Only include secondary elements that complement. Make hard choices about conflicts. Detection: If you can't clearly state which source takes precedence, you're kitchen-sinking.
Pattern: Synthesizing functions correctly but missing the tone. Corporate Hamlet played as comedy. Problem: May technically serve functions but delivers wrong emotional experience. Fix: Explicit tone synthesis. Ask: "What would make the audience FEEL the same way?" Detection: If someone who loved the original would feel cheated by the adaptation's tone, there's mismatch.
Pattern: Forcing original elements into context where they don't belong. Ghost scene in "realistic" corporate setting. Problem: Breaks context coherence. Audience questions why this element exists. Fix: Find context-native forms. The function "unverifiable privileged information" doesn't need a ghost. Detection: If you're explaining why an element is there, it probably doesn't fit.

Synthesize new works from extracted functional DNA documents. Adaptation Synthesis is an agent skill from jwynia/agent-skills. Synthesize new works from extracted functional DNA documents.
Adaptation Synthesis fits situations like: adapting a source work to a new context; combining multiple source extractions; generating variations that preserve function while changing form.
Run `npx skills add jwynia/agent-skills --skill adaptation-synthesis -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/creative/fiction/application/adaptation-synthesis in jwynia/agent-skills) into .claude/skills/adaptation-synthesis in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add jwynia/agent-skills --skill adaptation-synthesis -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/creative/fiction/application/adaptation-synthesis in jwynia/agent-skills) into .agents/skills/adaptation-synthesis in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add jwynia/agent-skills --skill adaptation-synthesis -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/adaptation-synthesis, .gemini/skills/adaptation-synthesis, .github/skills/adaptation-synthesis and .opencode/skills/adaptation-synthesis in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Adaptation Synthesis needs TypeScript for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (deno). Our summary lists: Node.js.
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.
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.
Adaptation Synthesis is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 4.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 20k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
