cc-synthesizer

Generate a cross-cutting synthesis document from all summaries in summaries/. Reads synthesis-guidance.md if present. Can trigger the full pipeline if summaries are missing.

Package the synthesis into a shareable ZIP for distribution. Use when the user wants to share, export, or distribute their synthesis to others. Creates a self-contained directory (synthesis-export/) with the HTML, CSS, JS, all source PDFs, and all summary files, then zips it. The "Ask Claude" functionality is automatically removed (button hidden via CSS) since it requires a local server to work. Invoke when the user says things like "export", "share", "package", "zip up", "distribute", or "send the synthesis to someone".

Use when the user wants to view or interact with synthesis.html after running /create-synthesis — builds the HTML, verifies Claude Code auth, starts the local server, and opens the page in the browser

Reset the cc-synthesizer pipeline by deleting all generated files so a fresh batch of PDFs can be processed from scratch. Invoke whenever the user wants to start over with new documents, clear the workspace, or clean up pipeline outputs. Trigger on phrases like "reset", "clean up", "start fresh", "new batch", "clear the pipeline", "delete generated files", "wipe the outputs", or "prepare for new PDFs". Always checks for an existing export first before deleting anything — don't skip this check.

Generate per-document markdown summaries from PDFs. Detects document type and adapts the summary structure accordingly. Updates citations.json.

Clean up PDF filenames by removing spaces, em dashes, and special characters
