Just like the elite potential of a high-drive Belgian Malinois, an AI system's raw capabilities are wasted when deployed without proper structure. The technological value is no longer found in creating the drive, but in mastering the leash. Synapptic gives your AI Assistant persi
SaferSkills independently audited synapptic (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
The missing feedback loop for agentic development. Builds a living user model from AI coding session transcripts — extracts who the user is, what the AI keeps getting wrong, and what rules would prevent those mistakes. Writes the result to the memory system so every new session starts informed.
synapptic ingest # extract → merge → synthesize → integrateFinds unprocessed transcripts, filters them (~626x compression), extracts observations via LLM, merges into weighted profiles, synthesizes narrative archetypes, and writes to all project memory directories.
Options: --model sonnet (default), --max-tokens 50000, --project <name>, --min-lines 20.

Tier 1 — Observations (append-only, per session): Raw observations extracted by LLM. Stored as JSON with embedded project metadata.
Tier 2 — Weighted Profile (accumulated, decayed): All observations merged with exponential decay (0.98x per cycle). Similar observations reinforce each other. Old patterns fade unless seen again.
Tier 3 — Narrative Archetype (what the AI reads): Three sections — User Archetype, Guards (behavioral rules), Known Weaknesses. Written to memory system with proper frontmatter.
When a profile already exists, the extraction prompt includes top existing observations so the LLM skips known patterns and focuses on genuinely new signal.
Session transcripts can be 500MB+. The filter reduces them to ~50K tokens (~626x compression) by stripping progress records, tool output, thinking blocks — keeping only user text + assistant text as conversation pairs, with heuristic boosting for correction signals and strong reactions.
A hook runs synapptic ingest in the background after every session (fully detached, zero exit lag). PID-locked to prevent stacking. If it fails, the next session's hook catches up — nothing is permanently lost.
Guards are the most valuable output — concrete behavioral rules derived from observed failures:
ALWAYS read the file before modifying it
NEVER commit without running tests first
BEFORE implementing a new service, read an existing one of the same type
WHEN the user specifies a verification path, treat it as a hard constraint
IF debugging produces no signal after 2-3 attempts, stop and askEach guard traces to a specific failure with evidence. Guards enter the archetype immediately (no multi-session evidence requirement) because a concrete failure is actionable from a single observation.
