insight-synthesis

insight-synthesis is a skill for Claude Code from stanislavnianko/product-discovery-claude-skills. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,348 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for turning research evidence into organized findings, while giving more weight to stronger sources such as user interviews than to weaker clues such as a single expert opinion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to combine interview notes, expert input, support data, published research, or competitor research into structured product insights.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid treating guesses and well-supported evidence as equally reliable, and clearly flags when there is too little evidence.

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

insight-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.

Insight Synthesis

Part of the discovery-phase skill pack · synthesis group · reads discovery-context.md (run profile-builder first if missing).

Turns whatever evidence the BA managed to gather into structured insights — weighted by source quality so the team doesn't treat one SME's hunch as equal to five user interviews.

Step 1 — Read discovery context

Read discovery-context.md (section 4. Access & Data) to know what evidence to expect. If missing, ask the BA inline: "which evidence types should I expect — interviews / SMEs / tickets / secondary / competitive / mix?" — or weight all sources equally and tag the output [NO-WEIGHTING-CONTEXT]. Never block; recommend profile-builder for high-stakes work.

Then scan ./discovery/ for actually-present artifacts:

  • interview-notes/*.md (direct evidence — highest weight)
  • sme-notes/*.md (proxy evidence — medium weight)
  • support-data-analysis.md (unsolicited signal — high weight)
  • secondary-research.md (published data — variable weight by source)
  • competitive-scan.md (market signal — context, not direct evidence)

If fewer than 2 sources are present, tell the BA: "Synthesis with single-source evidence is fragile. Consider running another evidence skill before this. Proceed anyway?"

Step 2 — Affinity mapping (sticky-notes phase)

For every distinct observation across all sources, create a one-line entry in ./discovery/_observations.md:

- [P03 | direct] "I keep a spreadsheet because the tool doesn't filter by region"
- [P01 | direct] 15 min/day lost to manual status updates
- [SME-Maria | inferred] "Users get stuck at the third step" (no specific user cited)
- [tickets | n=23] complaints about CSV export breaking
- [secondary | Gartner 2025] 60% of similar tools lack X

Tag each with [source | confidence]. Aim for 30-80 observations across all sources.

Step 3 — Cluster into themes

Group by underlying job, not surface vocabulary. Target 5-8 themes. More than 10 = clusters too narrow; fewer than 4 = too broad.

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.
