doc-synthesis is a skill for Claude Code from GiangGiangTran/ba-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,884 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A document-analysis skill for turning long or complex material into clear summaries, key findings, recommendations, and action items. It can adapt the level of detail to the reader.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to summarize research, prepare executive summaries, combine several documents, explain technical material to business readers, and extract next steps.
Why use it?
Important information is often buried in lengthy documents or presented in language the audience does not use. This helps preserve the meaning while making the result easier to understand.

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

doc-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 12d 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.

Document Synthesis for BA

Summarize without losing the meaning. Extract insights, not just facts.

What is Document Synthesis?

Definition: Process of reading complex information, identifying key points, and presenting them clearly and concisely for specific audiences.

Why it matters:

  • Too much information: Team overwhelmed by details
  • Wrong level of detail: Executive sees 50-page doc they don't have time for
  • Lost insights: Key finding buried in 100 pages
  • Misunderstanding: Reader doesn't grasp the real message

When to Use:

  • ✅ Condensing research findings (100 pages → 2-page summary)
  • ✅ Creating executive summaries (details → key points)
  • ✅ Translating for audiences (technical → business language)
  • ✅ Extracting action items (document → what to do next)
  • ✅ Combining multiple sources (5 documents → 1 coherent summary)

3 Synthesis Levels

Level 1: Executive Summary (2-3 pages)

For executives who need to decide, not understand details.

Structure:

1. SITUATION (1 paragraph)
   What's the context? Why are we doing this?

2. KEY FINDINGS (3-5 bullet points)
   What did we learn? What's most important?

3. RECOMMENDATION (1-2 sentences)
   What should we do?

4. BUSINESS IMPACT (1-2 metrics)
   Why does this matter? What's the impact?

5. NEXT STEPS (2-3 items)
   What happens next? Who decides when?

Example:

SITUATION:
Researched customer adoption barriers for new mobile app feature.
Conducted 12 user interviews over 3 weeks.

KEY FINDINGS:
- 85% of users want mobile feature
- 45% say setup is "too complicated"
- Feature would save ~3 hours per week
- Competitors already have similar feature

RECOMMENDATION:
Build mobile feature, but focus on simpler setup process.

BUSINESS IMPACT:
- $200K revenue potential (if 10% adoption)
- Differentiation vs competitor (easier setup)
- Expected 2-week effort

NEXT STEPS:
1. Design simple setup flow (this week)
2. Engineering feasibility review (next week)
3. Kickoff meeting to proceed (date TBD)
