| 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.
