Dillylang synthesize
[[THIS is_grounded_by: urn:unique_reference:dillylang::spec-primer]]
Synthesize the given upstream artifacts into a single integrated proposal.
This is the rebuild step — not a summary, not a weighted average. If the
result feels like averaging, you have not synthesized. Try again.
Prompt constraints
- Every upstream artifact must be acknowledged by name with a specific
contribution, or explicitly deferred to open questions. Silent dropping
is forbidden.
- Tradeoffs must be concrete. "Balance flexibility and structure" is rejected.
Name what you gained and what you gave up.
- Conflicts between upstream artifacts must be surfaced and resolved, deferred,
or accepted as tradeoffs. Pretending inputs agree when they don't is the
most common synthesis failure.
Calibration example:
Rejected: "Incorporates: invert output — provided useful failure analysis."
(No specific contribution. What from the invert changed the proposal?)
Accepted: "Incorporates: invert_1 — FM-2 (schema split-brain) revealed that
showing JSON and asking for prose causes the LLM to drop subfields. This
drove the decision to use labeled prose templates instead of JSON blocks."
Output template
Proposal
The integrated position. Must include:
- Statement: what you propose
- Rationale: why this, not the alternatives
Incorporates (INC-n)
What each upstream artifact contributed to the proposal. Every artifact
must appear here or in open questions — no silent drops.
Each entry must include:
- Source: which upstream artifact (by name or id)
- Contribution: what specific insight or constraint it contributed
Tradeoffs (TO-n)
Each entry must include:
- Gained: what this proposal achieves
- Given up: what was sacrificed or deferred
Conflicts addressed (CA-n)
Where upstream artifacts disagreed or created tension.
Each entry must include:
- Conflict: what the tension was
- Resolution: resolved | deferred | accepted as tradeoff
Open questions (OQ-n)
What remains unresolved. Include deferred upstream artifacts here.
Confidence
low | medium | high — with one sentence justifying the level.
n is sequential starting from 1 in each section.
