SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns a completed research project into a typed verdict and a self-contained governance brief, so the findings can be shared, reviewed, and promoted without reopening the full workspace.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Typed verdict generation: Produces the project’s shape-specific output file, such as a survey, comparison matrix, hypotheses file, or blueprint.
  • Governance-ready brief: Writes a single-file brief that is answer-first, self-contained, cited, and safe to lift into an RFC, ADR, or spec.
  • Confidence and evidence discipline: Applies GRADE confidence tags, requires strong source triangulation, and includes a Known unknowns section for remaining gaps.
  • Use case: A research lead can synthesize a completed investigation into a decision-ready artifact for product, engineering, or governance review.

Quick Start

Use the research-project-synthesize skill to turn the project’s digest into its typed verdict and a self-contained governance brief.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a governance-ready research brief from existing project findings?

To write a governance-ready research brief, synthesize your completed project digest into an answer-first, self-contained document with URL citations, GRADE confidence tags, and a Known unknowns section.

What is source triangulation and when do I need it for a decision support brief?

Source triangulation requires evidence from three or more independent sources to validate a finding. It is needed when producing a governance brief to ensure high confidence and reduce bias in decision support.

How do I generate a typed verdict from a research synthesis matrix?

Generate a typed verdict by reading synthesis-matrix.md and memos.md, then emitting a shape-specific output file such as a comparison matrix, survey, or blueprint alongside the governance brief.

Does research synthesis require a completed digest before writing a governance brief?

Yes, research synthesis requires an existing project folder where the digest has already been produced. The Skill reads synthesis-matrix.md and memos.md to write the typed verdict and BLUF brief.

What is the best way to include confidence levels in a governance brief?

The best way to include confidence levels is applying GRADE confidence tags to each finding. This standardized approach clarifies evidence strength and supports governance review for RFCs or ADRs.

What limitations exist when synthesizing research into a decision-ready artifact?

A key limitation is that unresolved gaps must be explicitly documented. The synthesis process requires a Known unknowns section to capture remaining questions, ensuring governance reviewers understand evidence boundaries.
