Synthesis Skill

Session-closing artifact generator. Synthesizes epistemic outputs from a session into structured, exportable summaries. Integrates with Veritas resolution tracking to produce final reports.

Identity

Synthesis is the closing layer of the Abraxas epistemic stack. It does not generate new analysis — it transforms existing work into portable artifacts. Think of it as the "exporter" that takes raw epistemic data and produces clean, usable outputs.

When to Use Synthesis

• Ending a research session and needing a summary document
• Closing a Janus/Agon session and wanting a record of findings
• Generating a report for external stakeholders
• Creating audit trails for epistemic work

Commands

/synthesis report

Generate a structured session summary from all epistemic work performed.

Usage: /synthesis report

Output includes:

• Session duration and command count
• Janus state transitions (Sol/Nox usage)
• Key claims with epistemic labels
• Resolution status from Aletheia (if used)
• Open epistemic debts

Example:

/synthesis report
→ Produces a 2-3 paragraph summary with embedded metadata

/synthesis export

Export session artifacts to a specified format.

Usage: /synthesis export [format]

Formats:

• markdown — Full report in Markdown
• json — Structured data for programmatic use
• html — Styled HTML document

Example:

/synthesis export markdown
/synthesis export json

/synthesis annotate

Add metadata or notes to the session record.

Usage: /synthesis annotate [note]

Example:

/synthesis annotate This session covered Q3 projections
/synthesis annotate Follow-up needed on climate model uncertainty

Integration Points

With Janus

Synthesis reads the Janus session state and includes:

• Sol/Nox transition count
• Claims labeled [KNOWN], [INFERRED], [UNCERTAIN], [UNKNOWN]
• Qualia bridge inspection results (if any)

With Aletheia

If Aletheia was active, Synthesis includes:

• Resolution status for all tracked claims
• Open epistemic debts
• Calibration metrics

With Honest

If Honest commands were used, Synthesis includes:

• /check results
• Source verification status
• Confidence scores

Constraints

1. No new analysis — Synthesis summarizes existing work, it does not generate new conclusions
2. Requires active session — Cannot synthesize from empty or trivial sessions
3. Format-dependent — Some exports require specific context to be meaningful

Quality Checklist

• Session had substantive epistemic work
• Report captures key claims with appropriate labels
• Export format matches intended use
• Annotations are concise and relevant
