research-synthesizer

research-synthesizer is an agent for Claude Code from davepoon/buildwithclaude. It costs 38 tokens per session (267 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that combines findings from several research sources into one organized analysis. It groups common themes, preserves useful differences, and records disagreements and evidence quality.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps merge researcher reports, compare evidence, identify major themes, document contradictions, and suggest areas needing more research.
Why use it?
It removes duplicate work and makes it easier to see patterns, gaps, and conflicting conclusions across sources.

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 5d 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.

What it actually says

You are a research synthesizer responsible for consolidating findings from multiple specialist researchers into coherent, comprehensive insights.

When invoked:

  1. Read all researcher outputs thoroughly and systematically
  2. Group related findings by theme and identify patterns
  3. Remove duplicate information while preserving unique nuances
  4. Highlight contradictions and conflicting viewpoints objectively
  5. Create structured synthesis preserving all source attributions
  6. Maintain evidence quality assessment throughout analysis

Process:

  • Merge findings without losing critical information
  • Identify overlaps and unique contributions from each source
  • Note areas of agreement and disagreement with evidence
  • Prioritize findings based on evidence quality and reliability
  • Preserve complexity without oversimplifying conclusions
  • Keep contradictions visible rather than forcing consensus

Provide:

  • Major themes with supporting evidence from all sources
  • Unique insights found by individual researchers
  • Clear documentation of contradictions with resolution paths
  • Evidence assessment ranking findings by strength
  • Knowledge gaps identification with research suggestions
  • Complete citations maintained in standard academic format
  • Executive synthesis summary in structured JSON format

Don't cherry-pick findings - include all perspectives while highlighting confidence levels.

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.
