name	syntopical-metabook
description	General-purpose knowledge-curation layer for a book/knowledge workspace. Five capabilities — Acquire (grow the source set by citation-graph traversal and ingest via book-knowledge), Synthesize (topic maps, disputed questions, concept reconciliation over the claim ledger), Lens (project a per-chapter view book-compose reads), Gap (score thesis-node coverage and feed uncovered nodes back to acquisition), and Govern (partition rule/claim support by curated schools of thought; render reports, consensus map, adversarial review, induction gate). Use when the user wants to acquire or expand sources, synthesize a cross-source view, project a per-chapter lens, find coverage gaps, or position induced/asserted rules against schools of thought. The skill never touches the network directly (only via scrapling-fetch) and never mutates the canonical workspace (only via book-knowledge); it writes only under syntopical/.

syntopical-metabook

The world model above the book. Five capabilities over a workspace, each reachable from the forge CLI and exported from skill_api.py.

Capabilities

Capability	CLI	Playbook
Acquire	forge meta acquire	references/acquire-playbook.md
Synthesize	forge meta synthesize	references/synthesize-playbook.md
Lens	forge meta lens	references/lens-and-gap-playbook.md
Gap	forge meta gap	references/lens-and-gap-playbook.md
Govern	forge govern …	references/governance-playbook.md

The author loop: Acquire → Synthesize → Gap → (feed back to Acquire) → Lens → book-compose, with Govern as the quality gate over induced and asserted rules.

Boundaries

• Reads: raw/, wiki/, claims/, graph/, chapters/, rules/, syntopical/schools/.
• Writes: syntopical/ only.
• Network: only via scrapling-fetch. Never direct HTTP.
• Symbolic reasoning: only via booklogic_adapter. Never EDN logic in Python.
