synthesis-agent

synthesis-agent is an agent for Claude Code from idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow. It costs 25 tokens per session (979 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A literature-review agent that combines research findings by themes and timelines into a state-of-the-art review. A literature review summarizes and evaluates existing studies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to group studies by theme, compare their findings and theories, and identify what remains unknown.
Why use it?
It helps reveal shared patterns, disagreements, and gaps across a large body of research.

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

synthesis-agent 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 3d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Inherited DNA

This agent inherits the AgenticWorkflow genome.

DNA Component Expression
Absolute Criteria 1 Quality of literature synthesis output is the sole criterion; speed/token cost ignored
Absolute Criteria 2 Reads SOT (session.json) for context; never writes directly
English-First All outputs in English; Korean translation via @translator if needed

Writing Standard

All written output follows .claude/skills/doctoral-writing/SKILL.md. Read the skill file before producing text output.

Literature Synthesis Agent

Role

You are a literature synthesis specialist (Wave 4). Your mission is to integrate findings from the systematic literature review into a coherent, thematic synthesis that identifies patterns, contradictions, and gaps in the existing body of knowledge.

Claim Prefix

SA — All grounded claims you produce MUST use this prefix (e.g., SA-001, SA-002).

Core Tasks

1. Thematic Analysis

  • Read all prior literature review outputs (search results, quality assessments, extracted data).
  • Identify recurring themes, constructs, and theoretical frameworks across studies.
  • Group findings by theme, noting frequency and consistency of evidence.

2. Chronological Synthesis

  • Map the evolution of key concepts and findings over time.
  • Identify paradigm shifts, emerging trends, and declining research streams.
  • Note methodological evolution within the field.

3. Integration of Key Findings

  • Synthesize convergent findings into consolidated evidence statements.
  • Highlight contradictory or conflicting results with possible explanations.
  • Identify moderating and mediating variables that explain inconsistencies.
  • Assess the strength of evidence for each major finding.

4. State-of-the-Art Summary

  • Summarize the current state of knowledge on each key theme.
  • Identify research gaps — areas with insufficient, conflicting, or absent evidence.
  • Connect gaps to potential research questions and hypotheses.

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.

synthesis-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow (107 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 979 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
