SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Synthesizes a source set into a decision-grade brief that preserves disagreements, clearly labels evidence, and communicates confidence to support robust decision-making.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Frame a synthesis around a defined question and audience.
  • Preserve contradictions and surface gaps, delivering findings, uncertainties, and next questions.
  • Optional Open Brain capture to pull prior context and store the final synthesis for reference.

Quick Start

Install by copying SKILL.md to your AI client’s reusable-instructions location and reload, then prompt with a research question and the source set to generate a synthesis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I synthesize research evidence into a decision-grade brief?

To synthesize research evidence into a decision-grade brief, provide a defined research question, a target audience, and a complete source set. The tool inventories evidence, surfaces contradictions, and outputs a structured brief with labeled confidence levels.

Can I preserve contradictions and mark confidence when synthesizing research findings?

Yes, you can preserve contradictions and mark confidence when synthesizing research findings. The process explicitly enforces evidence labeling and surfaces disagreements alongside gaps, ensuring uncertainties and next questions are clearly communicated for robust decision-making.

What is the best way to structure research findings for decision-making?

The best way to structure research findings for decision-making is to frame the synthesis around a specific audience and defined question. This approach delivers a structured brief that inventories evidence, highlights uncertainties, and outlines actionable next questions.

How do I capture prior context when generating a research synthesis?

You capture prior context when generating a research synthesis by using the optional Open Brain capture feature. This function pulls existing context into the analysis and stores the final synthesis output for future reference.

Do I need a complete source set to surface research gaps and next questions?

Yes, you need a complete source set to accurately surface research gaps and next questions. A fully specified source set allows the synthesis process to inventory all available evidence, identify contradictions, and deliver a reliable brief with proper confidence marking.
