Research Synthesize

Synthesize accumulated research findings into actionable reports.

When to use

After running deep-research (one or multiple times), when you need to pull together findings from memory into a coherent synthesis with recommendations.

Steps

1. **Gather findings** — search across research namespaces:

• `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search` namespace `research` for raw findings
• `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_search` namespace `research-sources` for references
• `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-search` for discovered patterns
• Synthesize the findings yourself from what the searches return. `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_context-synthesize` is not a document synthesizer: it summarizes validated task episodes (task, reward, success) and answers `no-memories` or `no-eligible-episodes` for research notes and sources, which is the correct answer, not missing research

2. **Grade evidence** — for each finding, assess:

• **High**: Multiple independent sources agree, directly observed, reproducible
• **Medium**: Single credible source, indirectly supported, plausible
• **Low**: Anecdotal, single unverified source, speculative

3. **Resolve contradictions** — when findings conflict:

• Identify the specific claim in tension
• Compare evidence quality
• Check recency (newer data may supersede)
• Note unresolved contradictions explicitly

4. **Predict relevance** — call `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__neural_predict` to score which findings are most relevant to the original goal 5. **Structure report**:

• Executive summary (2-3 sentences answering the original question)
• Key findings (ranked by evidence quality)
• Methodology (what sources were checked)
• Limitations (what wasn't checked, what remains uncertain)
• Recommendations (concrete next actions)
• References (source links and memory keys)

6. **Store synthesis** — call `mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_store` namespace `research-synthesis` with the full report

Output format

# [Research Topic] — Synthesis Report

## Summary
[2-3 sentence answer]

## Key Findings
1. [Finding] — Evidence: High/Medium/Low
2. [Finding] — Evidence: High/Medium/Low

## Contradictions
- [Claim A] vs [Claim B]: [resolution or "unresolved"]

## Recommendations
1. [Action] — because [reasoning]

## Sources
- [key]: [description]
