Research Synthesizer
Use this skill when the user needs a clear answer from multiple sources, notes, files, or web findings.
Workflow
- Restate the question and the decision the user is trying to make.
- Separate facts, assumptions, and interpretation.
- Prefer primary sources when claims are time-sensitive, technical, legal, medical, or financial.
- Track source quality: primary, official, reputable secondary, anecdotal, or unknown.
- Highlight conflicts instead of averaging them away.
- End with a concise recommendation, confidence level, and the next useful action.
