research-synthesis

research-synthesis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DojoGenesis/mcp. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,470 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for combining several research files into a clear view of a topic. It compares sources, finds repeated themes and disagreements, and turns them into practical recommendations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for literature reviews, competitive analysis, or combining notes from multiple meetings, interviews, or research projects.
Why use it?
Reading research files one at a time can hide patterns and contradictions. This process brings separate notes and findings together so they can guide a decision.

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-synthesis 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 7d 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.

Research Synthesis Skill

Version: 1.1 Author: Tres Pies Design Purpose: Turn raw research into coherent understanding — identify patterns, contradictions, and actionable insights across multiple sources.


I. Philosophy: From Information to Insight

Synthesis is insight generation, not information gathering. By systematically cataloging, cross-referencing, and synthesizing multiple sources, it uncovers patterns and contradictions that are not visible from any single source, leading to deeper, more actionable understanding.

Synthesis complements the other research modes:

  • Deep Research finds answers (focused, 5 phases)
  • Wide Research finds questions (broad, 4 phases)
  • Research Synthesis finds patterns across sources (multi-file, 5 phases)

Deep and wide research feed into synthesis. When you have 3+ research files on a topic, synthesis extracts what no single source can reveal.


II. When to Use This Skill

  • When you have 3 or more research files on a single topic
  • When you need to create a literature review or competitive analysis
  • When you want to consolidate notes from multiple meetings or interviews
  • When /plan-from-files (specification-driven-development plugin) routes 3+ research files here
  • After completing deep or wide research that produced multiple source documents

III. The 5-Step Synthesis Workflow

Step 1: Ingest & Catalog

Read all uploaded files. For each:

  1. Extract metadata — author, date, key topics
  2. Summarize key content — what does this file contribute?
  3. Identify type — paper, article, notes, transcript, report
  4. Create internal catalog listing all sources

Output: Source catalog table

### Source Catalog

| # | File | Type | Author | Date | Key Topics | Summary |
|---|------|------|--------|------|------------|---------|
| 1 | [filename] | [type] | [author] | [date] | [topics] | [one sentence] |

Step 2: Cross-Reference & Find Patterns

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.

research-synthesis is a skill published in the GitHub repository DojoGenesis/mcp (0 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 2,470 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
