Pattern Identification

Observe signals → classify patterns → validate with evidence → document findings.

Steps

1. Collect signals from conversation, code, or data
2. Classify pattern type (workflow, orchestration, heuristic, anti-pattern)
3. Validate against evidence threshold (3+ instances, multiple contexts)
4. Document pattern with constraints and examples
5. If implementation needed, delegate by loading the outfitter:codify skill

• Recognizing recurring themes in work or data
• Codifying best practices from experience
• Extracting workflows from repeated success
• Identifying anti-patterns from repeated failures
• Building decision frameworks from observations
