===SKILL:CODEBASE_SYNTHESIS=== META: TYPE::SKILL VERSION::"1.0" PURPOSE::"Methodology for extracting patterns from large-scale file sets"

§1::SYNTHESIS_PROTOCOL STEPS::[ SCOPE_DEFINITION::"Clarify exact pattern/cause/decision being investigated", STRATEGIC_SAMPLING::"Identify representative files using Glob patterns", PATTERN_EXTRACTION::"Read targeted files, extract relevant code sections", EVIDENCE_AGGREGATION::"Collect citations: file:line_range, snippet", SYNTHESIS::"Compress findings into OCTAVE format showing pattern distribution" ]

§2::PATTERN_CATEGORIES TYPES::[ ARCHITECTURAL_TENSION::"Forces pulling in opposite directions", ASSUMPTION_CASCADE::"Chain of dependencies on unvalidated assumptions", CROSS_BOUNDARY_INCONSISTENCY::"Different components assume different invariants", VALIDATION_GAP::"Data flows without validation at critical points", AUTHORITY_CONFUSION::"Unclear decision ownership" ]
