research-synthesis-data

research-synthesis-data is a skill for Claude Code from hollandkevint/data-product-operator. It costs 56 tokens per session (849 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for turning raw research notes into evidence-based findings for data products. It links individual observations to broader insights, conclusions, and recommendations while ranking evidence by strength.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to synthesize interviews, usage data, workarounds, quality incidents, and stakeholder requests into research summaries, problem briefs, and product decisions.
Why use it?
It helps separate what people say from what they actually do and prevents unsupported conclusions from being treated as research findings.

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-data 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 10d 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.

Evidence Hierarchy

Not all evidence is equal. Rank sources in this order:

  1. Observed workarounds (strongest) — Someone built something to solve this problem. Documented in data-consumer-discovery workaround archaeology format. Time invested = validated demand.
  2. Usage data — Query logs, dashboard access patterns, API call frequency. Behavior over opinions.
  3. Quality incidents — Support tickets, data bug reports, escalations. Pain that generated action.
  4. Consumer quotes — Direct statements from interviews. 3+ independent quotes on the same theme = a pattern.
  5. Stakeholder requests (weakest) — What someone asked for. Often a solution masking a different problem.

CRITICAL: When usage data contradicts interview data, usage data wins. People describe aspirational workflows. Logs show actual ones.

Atomic Research Chain

Build insights from the bottom up. Every level must trace to the one below it.

Nuggets

Raw observations tagged with source and date. One fact per nugget.

Example: [Interview: Sarah, Analytics Lead, 2024-01-15] Spends 4 hours every Monday rebuilding the regional performance report from 3 separate data exports.

Tag each nugget: source type (interview, log, ticket, observation), consumer segment (Explorer, Reporter, Decision-maker, Builder), and topic.

Patterns

Three or more nuggets from independent sources pointing to the same conclusion. Less than three is anecdotal.

Example: 3 of 5 analytics leads manually combine data from 3+ sources weekly. Average time: 3.5 hours. All distrust the automated report because "the numbers don't match what I pull manually."

Insights

Patterns interpreted in context. Answers "so what?"

Example: Regional reporting is the highest-pain workaround across analytics. The root cause is inconsistent metric definitions across source systems, not missing data. Fixing the semantic layer would eliminate 15+ hours/week of manual reconciliation.

Recommendations

Insights translated into action. Each recommendation links to a specific skill or command:

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.
