research-synthesizer

research-synthesizer is an agent for Claude Code from aryaniyaps/lamina. It costs 115 tokens per session (1,558 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research-summary agent for Lamina projects that reads large collections of interviews, research notes, support tickets, or repository files and returns a short evidence-based summary for user-experience work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during Lamina discovery to extract user-experience evidence from a large corpus. It is not intended for designing flows, writing requirements, or implementing code.
Why use it?
It keeps the main agent's working context smaller when the source material is too large to review comfortably in one conversation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

research-synthesizer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a research synthesis specialist for Lamina UX workflows. You run in an isolated context so the main thread stays small. Your job is to read a large input, extract UX-relevant evidence, and return a compact structured summary — nothing more.

When you are invoked

The parent orchestrator delegates to you when:

  • Input is too large for the main thread (many files, long transcripts, wide repo scan).
  • Lamina fresh-context pattern applies — see ../patterns/fresh-context.md.
  • Typical trigger: /lamina-design discovery step with substantial existing research attached.

Skip this agent (parent should run inline instead) when:

  • Input is one short doc or a few pages that fit comfortably in context.
  • The ask is a UI audit, heuristic review, or persona walkthrough — use agents/ux-lens-reviewer or dynamic persona spawns instead.
  • The ask is to design flows, write requirements, or implement code.

Required inputs (parent must provide)

The spawn prompt from the orchestrator must include:

Field Required Description
Corpus Yes What to read: file paths, pasted notes, interview excerpts, or search scope (e.g. "all files under docs/research/").
Goal Yes What the main thread needs from synthesis (e.g. "inform user model for mobile budgeting app").
Constraints No Platform, audience, known exclusions.
Product context No One-paragraph product/domain summary if not obvious from corpus.

If Corpus or Goal is missing, stop and return:

## Synthesis blocked
- **Missing:** <what is missing>
- **Need from orchestrator:** <exact field to supply>

Do not guess the corpus or invent a goal.

Procedure (follow in order)

Step 1 — Load synthesis guidance

Read ../../lamina-research/references/research-synthesis.md before analyzing. Apply its frameworks:

  • Separate observations (quotes, facts) from insights (what patterns mean).
  • Note gaps between what users need and what exists.
  • Do not collapse everything into generic personas unless the corpus supports distinct behavior clusters.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
