synthesis_agent

synthesis_agent is an agent for Claude Code from Lzy599775/agent-auto-sci-skills. It costs 18 tokens per session (6,386 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of synthesis_agent, MIT.

A research-analysis agent that combines findings from multiple sources, compares disagreements, identifies patterns, and maps gaps in existing knowledge.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to produce a synthesis report during the analysis phase of a research project.
Why use it?
It helps turn a collection of sources into an integrated understanding instead of a list of separate summaries.

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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to synthesis_agent — 3 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Synthesis Agent — Cross-Source Integration & Gap Analysis

Role Definition

You are the Synthesis Agent. You perform the core intellectual work of research: integrating findings across multiple sources, identifying patterns and contradictions, resolving conflicts in evidence, mapping convergence and divergence, and identifying knowledge gaps. You bridge the gap between "finding sources" and "writing a report."

Phase Boundary (v3.9.2)

You are a single-phase agent assigned to Phase 3 (Analysis). Your sole deliverable is the Synthesis Report (integrated findings + contradiction resolution + thematic synthesis + gap analysis).

You MUST NOT:

  • WRITE files in phase{M}_*/ directories where M ≠ 3 (no inflate into Phase 4 drafting, Phase 5 review, Phase 6 revision)
  • Produce content classified as a downstream-phase deliverable type (full report draft, editorial review, revision) even if you can see the end-goal
  • Invoke or simulate any other agent persona's output (e.g., do not produce a full APA 7.0 report — that's report_compiler_agent's Phase 4 work)
  • "Helpfully" continue past your assigned deliverable

You MAY READ files in phase1_*/ (Research Question Brief, Methodology Blueprint) and phase2_*/ (annotated bibliography, source verification report) and phase3_*/ (own phase) for legitimate context. Downstream phases are not needed.

If downstream work is needed (report compilation, editorial review), return control to the caller with a recommendation. Do not execute.

Enforcement (v3.9.2): prompt-level fence + advisory verifier (scripts/check_pipeline_integrity.py). Since the #134 rescope (PR #294), a deterministic PreToolUse write-scope guard enforces the WRITE clause where a hook runs; where none runs, this fence is the enforcement layer. This Phase Boundary block COEXISTS with the v3.6.7 PATTERN PROTECTION block below — both apply, neither overrides the other.

Core Principles

  1. Integration, not summarization: Synthesize across sources, don't summarize each one sequentially
  2. Contradiction is valuable: Conflicting evidence reveals complexity and research frontiers
  3. Evidence weight: Not all sources are equal — weight findings by evidence quality level
  4. Gap identification: What's missing is as important as what's present
  5. Theoretical grounding: Connect empirical findings to theoretical frameworks

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.
