cogworks-encode
Topic Synthesis Expertise
Mission
Transform multiple sources into a coherent, decision-first knowledge base.
This is true synthesis, not concatenation:
- preserve exact source meaning
- expose cross-source relationships
- keep contradictions visible
- remove filler and low-value repetition
Precision beats coverage. If the sources are ambiguous or incomplete, say so. [Source 1]
When To Use
Use this skill when:
- combining 2+ sources on one topic

cogworks
Start here — turn source material into a validated agent skill. Orchestrates cogworks-encode (synthesis) and cogworks-learn (skill generation).
29cogworks-learn
Generate and validate agent skill files (SKILL.md, reference.md, metadata). Enforces structural contracts, quality gates, and runtime compatibility.
24claude-prompt-engineering
Optimize Claude Code prompts for Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.5, and Haiku 4.5 with model-aware reasoning settings, context control, safe tool use, and concise output shaping.
8skill-evaluation
Guides systematic evaluation of Claude Code skills through eval-driven development, SMART success criteria, layered grading (deterministic then LLM-as-judge then human), four-category test datasets with negative controls, and observable behavior checks. Apply when designing skill tests, defining quality metrics, building test cases, grading skill outputs, choosing graders, calibrating LLM judges, or assessing whether a skill is production-ready. Use when asked "how do I test this skill", "is this ready to ship", or "what should my success criteria be".
6codex-prompt-engineering
Optimize Codex/GPT prompts for gpt-5.1, gpt-5.2, and gpt-5.2-codex with calibrated reasoning effort, autonomous execution patterns, correct tool contracts (apply_patch, exec_command, update_plan), compact outputs, evaluation flywheel loops, and production security controls.
