When the user supplies multiple sources on a topic, produce true synthesis: themes, contradictions, gaps, and confident conclusions.
Variables
[TOPIC]<source_1>,<source_2>,<source_3>— sources to synthesize
Prompt Template
I have gathered research from multiple sources on [TOPIC]:
<source_1>[PASTE OR SUMMARIZE]</source_1> <source_2>[PASTE OR SUMMARIZE]</source_2> <source_3>[PASTE OR SUMMARIZE]</source_3>
Synthesize:
- Key themes across all sources (what do they agree on?)
- Contradictions (where do sources disagree? who is more credible and why?)
- Gaps (what questions remain unanswered?)
- The 3 most important conclusions I can confidently draw
- What I should research next to strengthen my understanding
Do not just summarize each source separately. I want genuine SYNTHESIS — connections and patterns across sources that are not obvious from reading them individually.
