Research Synthesize
Synthesize accumulated research findings into actionable reports.
When to use
After running deep-research (one or multiple times), when you need to pull together findings from memory into a coherent synthesis with recommendations.
Steps
- Gather findings — search across research namespaces:
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_searchnamespaceresearchfor raw findingsmcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_searchnamespaceresearch-sourcesfor referencesmcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-searchfor discovered patternsmcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_context-synthesizefor AI-assisted context building
- Grade evidence — for each finding, assess:
- High: Multiple independent sources agree, directly observed, reproducible
- Medium: Single credible source, indirectly supported, plausible
- Low: Anecdotal, single unverified source, speculative
- Resolve contradictions — when findings conflict:
- Identify the specific claim in tension
- Compare evidence quality
- Check recency (newer data may supersede)
- Note unresolved contradictions explicitly
- Predict relevance — call
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__neural_predictto score which findings are most relevant to the original goal - Structure report:
- Executive summary (2-3 sentences answering the original question)
- Key findings (ranked by evidence quality)
- Methodology (what sources were checked)
- Limitations (what wasn't checked, what remains uncertain)
- Recommendations (concrete next actions)
- References (source links and memory keys)
- Store synthesis — call
