Synthesize

Finding Synthesis

When To Use

• After research agents return results from multiple channels
• Producing a final ranked report from raw findings

When NOT To Use

• No research session is active (run /tome:research first)
• Refining a single channel (use /tome:dig instead)

Merge findings from all channels into a ranked report.

Workflow

1. Merge: tome.synthesis.merger.merge_findings()
2. Rank: tome.synthesis.ranker.rank_findings()
3. Group: tome.synthesis.ranker.group_by_theme()
4. Format: tome.output.report.format_report()

Output Formats

• report: Full sectioned markdown
• brief: Condensed 1-2 pages
• transcript: Raw session log

Exit Criteria

• merge_findings(), rank_findings(), and group_by_theme() all called in sequence before output is formatted
• Output formatted via format_report() by default, or format_brief() / format_transcript() when the flag is set
• Findings grouped by theme in the report, not presented as raw per-channel lists
• If the merged finding count is 0, this is stated explicitly rather than generating an empty or fabricated report
• If no active session exists, error emitted directing the user to run /tome:research first
