SOP: Design Synthesis

Synthesize all upstream design SOP outputs into a complete experiment design report, perform consistency checks, assess feasibility, and identify potential risks.

Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent skill.

Why Subagent

Design synthesis requires a global perspective to review all design decisions for consistency and completeness — serves as the final quality gate of the experiment design phase, requiring independent critical thinking space.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
context-checkpoint	Append research process and results to the current Phase's context file. Each append MUST contain >=500 lines of markdown covering both process and results. Use this skill at plan-designated checkpoint points — typically after each strategy completes or at key decision nodes within a research Phase.
context-init	Create a new context file for a research Phase. Called once at Phase start to initialize the file that subsequent context-checkpoint calls will append to. Use this skill whenever a new research Phase begins and a fresh context file is needed.
spawn-agent	Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent.
