SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converts seed ideas and research handoffs into a TL;DR card, enabling fast, strategic synthesis for product development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Transforms a seed plus research handoff into a concise TL;DR card with opportunity assessment and strategic hooks.
  • Supports the five reasoning dimensions used by the synthesis agent (The User's Moment, The Single Strategic Move, The Compound, The Strategic Connection, The Unique Territory) to produce a robust card.
  • Integrates with the /develop orchestration flow to ensure the card aligns with context and persona guidance.

Quick Start

Provide an idea-name as input to the /develop-synthesis workflow to generate a TL;DR card from the seed and research handoff.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn seed ideas and research handoffs into a strategic synthesis card?

You can generate a TL;DR synthesis card by feeding a seed file and a research handoff into the workflow. It reads supporting artifacts like personas to produce concise strategic hooks for product development.

What is a TL;DR synthesis card used for in product strategy?

A TL;DR synthesis card distills seed ideas and research into concise strategic hooks and opportunity assessments. It enables fast strategic synthesis to guide product development and team communication.

What files do I need to generate a TL;DR card from research handoffs?

Generating a TL;DR card requires a seed file with stage: seed, a Research/{idea-name}/synthesis-handoff.md file, and supporting artifacts such as persona.md and Examples/developing-card.md to ensure accurate strategic alignment.

How do I apply strategic reasoning dimensions to product research synthesis?

Strategic reasoning dimensions like The User's Moment, The Single Strategic Move, and The Compound are applied automatically during synthesis. The tool uses these five dimensions to produce a robust TL;DR card from your research handoff.

Can I use research synthesis cards within an orchestration workflow?

Yes, TL;DR synthesis card generation integrates with the /develop orchestration flow. This ensures the produced card aligns with the broader context and persona guidance specified in your supporting artifacts.

What's the best way to structure research handoffs for strategic synthesis?

Structure research handoffs as a synthesis-handoff.md file inside a Research/{idea-name}/ directory, paired with a seed file and persona artifacts. This structure allows the workflow to load context and generate an accurate TL;DR card.
