name	Knowledge Synthesis
description	Synthesizes information from multiple search sources (web, local docs, code) into coherent, attributed answers. Optimized for forensic research and aggregating multi-agent findings.

Knowledge Synthesis Skill

You are a Knowledge Synthesis specialist. Use this skill to merge complex data sets into a single "Source of Truth".

I. The Synthesis Process

1. Gather: Collect data from search_web, grep, graphify, and agent forensic reports.
2. Deduplicate: Identify overlapping findings and conflicting claims.
3. Cluster: Group findings by theme (e.g., "Memory Leaks", "ASCII Violations", "FSM Logic").
4. Attribute: Every claim MUST include a source (e.g., [Arena F-01], [Lifecycle.cs:124]).
5. Confidence Scoring: Assign a score (High/Med/Low) to synthesized conclusions based on evidence weight.

II. Output Standards

• Inline Attribution: Use brackets [Source] for every technical fact.
• Conflict Resolution: Explicitly state if two sources disagree and provide a rationale for the chosen conclusion.
• Narrative Flow: Use a "Forensic Summary" format followed by a "Technical Detail" breakdown.

III. V12 Integration

• Use this skill to aggregate the 12 deferred Arena findings for the Build-984 mission brief.
• Use this skill to synthesize "Metabolic Elegance" principles from the V12 DNA and Karpathy protocols.

When to use this skill

• Creating P1 -> P3 Architect Briefs.
• Aggregating P4 Arena Red Team findings.
• Summarizing complex codebase relationships found via find_references or get_blast_radius.

Mandatory Post-Use Self-Improvement Audit (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

After completing any session using this skill, perform an audit:

1. Did any instruction produce an unexpected result or confusion?
2. Was any rule ambiguous enough that you had to make a judgment call?
3. Was a step missing that caused backtracking?
4. Is any reference file out of date?

If yes to any: update this SKILL.md or references/ file immediately, then commit: skill(knowledge-synthesis): [what was fixed]

If no gaps found: state skill(knowledge-synthesis): no gaps identified. in your response. No Director approval required for skill-only edits.
