Research Synthesis Skill
Mission
Produce a clear, defensible synthesis from many sources while preserving uncertainty and conflicts.
Inputs To Use First
- inputs/questions.md
- inputs/methodology.md
- inputs/references.md
- inputs/papers/
Workflow
1. Build a source map: summarize each paper in 2-4 bullets. 2. Group claims by theme and identify direct conflicts. 3. Score evidence strength (high/medium/low) with rationale. 4. Write synthesis focused on decisions, not just summaries. 5. Convert findings into executive-ready artifacts.
Required Outputs
- outputs/workspace_scan_summary.md
- outputs/synthesis_analysis.md
- outputs/claims_evidence_table.md
- outputs/executive_brief.md
- outputs/research_brief_dashboard.html
Quality Bar
- Claims have explicit support and source linkage.
- Conflicting evidence is surfaced, not hidden.
- Recommendations include risk and confidence.
- Executive brief is concise and action-oriented.
