| description | DEPRECATED — use /synthesize instead. /repo-synthesis was consolidated into the unified /synthesize skill which handles all 4 source types (repo, website, document, media). Redirect expires next session. |
/repo-synthesis (DEPRECATED)
This skill has been consolidated into /synthesize.
Why
T29 (Session #271) merged /repo-synthesis (v1.3) and /website-synthesis
(v1.1) plus the cross-type synthesis stub from /analyze into a single unified
skill. The new skill produces 8 output sections — supersetting the 6 this skill
provided (emergent themes, ecosystem gaps, reading chains, mental model
evolution, fit portfolio, knowledge map) with 2 additions (opportunity matrix,
changes since previous) — and handles all source types in one pass.
See .planning/synthesis-consolidation/ for the full design (32 decisions, 5
waves, 15 steps).
Migration
# Old
/repo-synthesis
# New
/synthesize --type=repo # repo-only synthesis
/synthesize # cross-type (recommended)
/synthesize --paradigm=narrative # different paradigm
All flags from the old skill are supported via /synthesize. Output paths have
changed: .research/analysis/SYNTHESIS.md →
.research/analysis/synthesis/synthesis.md. History is auto-archived to
.research/analysis/synthesis/history/.
Removal
This redirect expires next session. The directory will be deleted after a
one-session overlap to prevent breakage from habit or stale references.
Deprecated: 2026-04-09 (Session #271, T29 Wave 3).
When to Use
- Never — this skill is DEPRECATED. Use
/synthesize instead.
- Redirect stub exists only to surface the migration note for one session.
When NOT to Use
- Any synthesis work → use
/synthesize (direct replacement, superset).
