SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of turning many separate research “leaves” into a single, coherent synthesis that reveals themes, contradictions, gaps, and next steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-leaf pattern analysis: Detects common themes and tensions using evidence from specific leaves.
  • Gap discovery and connection building: Identifies what has not been explored yet and links related branches.
  • Architecture-style outputs: Produces a synthesis document including a Mermaid diagram and updates the research tree.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to synthesize what you've learned on the target branch, and it will create a synthesis markdown file with key findings, gaps, and an architecture diagram.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I synthesize scattered research notes into a single document?

You can synthesize research notes by reading accumulated leaf files to identify patterns, contradictions, and gaps. This Skill generates an executive-ready markdown document featuring evidenced themes, a Mermaid diagram, and prioritized next explorations.

What is cross-leaf pattern analysis in research workflows?

Cross-leaf pattern analysis detects common themes and tensions across one or more research branches using evidence from specific leaf files. It consolidates separate notes into an executive-ready synthesis document with a gap list and Mermaid architecture diagram.

How do I identify knowledge gaps and connections across research branches?

To identify knowledge gaps and connections across research branches, the Skill analyzes accumulated notes to find what has not been explored yet. It links related branches and outputs a synthesis markdown file containing a prioritized gap list and branch graph updates.

Can I generate a Mermaid architecture diagram from markdown research notes?

Yes, you can generate a Mermaid architecture diagram from markdown research notes. The Skill creates a synthesis document containing a Mermaid diagram visualizing connections, and it updates the `.tree.json` file with new synthesis nodes and edges.

Does this research synthesis tool require any external dependencies?

No, this research synthesis tool does not require any external dependencies. It operates entirely within your research workflow to read leaf files, generate synthesis markdown files with gap lists, and update the research tree structure.
