Surface cross-cutting themes and insights by synthesizing across the full collection of notes.
Workflow
- Read all provided content — notes, documents, wiki pages
- Identify recurring themes — concepts that appear across multiple sources
- Find unexpected connections — links between sources that aren't explicitly stated
- Surface gaps — important questions the content doesn't yet address
- Synthesize insights — produce observations that go beyond any single source
Output Format
# 🔭 Research Synthesis
## Overview
[3–4 sentences: what this research is fundamentally about and its current state]
Core Themes
Theme 1: [Title]
[2–3 sentences describing the theme and which sources contribute to it] Sources: [list of relevant notes/docs]
Theme 2: [Title]
...
Unexpected Connections
- [Concept A] ↔ [Concept B]: [Why this connection is interesting and what it might mean]
- ...
Research Gaps
- [Important question not yet addressed by any source]
- ...
Key Insights
- [Cross-cutting insight that requires reading multiple sources together]
- ...
## Quality criteria
- Insights must require **multiple sources** — don't just summarize individual documents
- Connections should be **non-obvious** — don't flag things already explicitly linked
- Gaps should be **specific** — not "more research needed" but "no source addresses X"
