Research Synthesizer Skill

Purpose

Aggregate findings from all research Skills into unified, actionable research brief with content angle generation.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke when:

• Multiple research Skills have executed
• Findings scattered across sources
• User asks to "synthesize", "organize", "create brief"
• End of research-topic workflow
• Need to generate content angles from research

Instructions

Step 1: Gather All Findings

Sources to check:

• social-media-research output (if invoked)
• youtube-research output (if invoked)
• deep-web-research output (if invoked)
• profile-analysis output (if invoked)

Step 2: Organize into 5 Categories

Category 1: Trends & Timing

• What's happening NOW with this topic
• Why it's relevant/trending
• Social media trends (from social-media-research)
• Future predictions (from deep-web-research)
• Source all claims

Category 2: Data & Statistics

• Hard numbers, percentages, metrics
• Growth rates, market size
• Survey results
• Facts from social-media-research
• Data from deep-web-research
• Source all stats

Category 3: Examples & Case Studies

• Real-world applications
• YouTube examples (from youtube-research)
• Company cases (from deep-web-research)
• Success stories
• How others use/discuss topic
• Include timestamps for videos

Category 4: Quotes & Expert Opinions

• YouTube quotes (with timestamps)
• Expert perspectives (from deep-web-research)
• Contrarian views
• Attributed quotes only

Category 5: Gaps & Opportunities

• What's NOT being discussed
• Overlooked angles (compare sources)
• Underserved audiences
• Content opportunities

Step 3: Create Executive Summary

Synthesize top insights:

• 3-5 key takeaways
• Most important finding from each category
• Overall confidence assessment

Step 4: Generate Content Angles

Based on all research, brainstorm 10-12 ways to approach topic:

Angle Types:

1. Tutorial: "How to [topic]"
2. Beginner: "[Topic] explained"
3. Advanced: "Deep dive: [subtopic]"
4. Teardown: "Breaking down [example]"
5. Comparison: "[A] vs [B]"
6. Data: "X stats about [topic]"
7. Opinion: "Why [hot take]"
8. Controversy: "The [topic] debate"
9. Prediction: "Future of [topic]"
10. Story: "When I [experience]"
11. Mistakes: "X mistakes with [topic]"
12. Trend: "Why everyone's talking about [topic]"

For each angle:

• Title (specific, compelling)
• Description (1-2 sentences)
• Best platform(s)
• Target audience level
• Supporting research (which findings back this)
• Confidence score

Step 5: Create Research Brief

Use template: jarvis-sidecar/workflows/research-topic/templates/research-brief.md

Fill with:

• Topic, depth, source count
• All 5 categories (fully populated)
• 10-12 content angles
• Complete evidence log
• Overall confidence score

Save to: jarvis-sidecar/sessions/research-{topic}-{date}.md

Step 6: Present Summary

Display:

✅ Research Complete: {Topic}

**Sources:**
- Trends: {trend_count} (social-media-mcp)
- Web: {web_count} (exa)
- YouTube: {video_count} (youtube-transcript)
- Profiles: {profile_count} (apify)

**Findings:**
- Trends & Timing: {count}
- Data & Statistics: {count}
- Examples: {count}
- Quotes: {count}
- Gaps: {count}

**Content Angles:** {angle_count}

📄 Research Brief: {file_path}

**Top 3 Insights:**
1. {insight_1}
2. {insight_2}
3. {insight_3}

**Suggested Next Steps:**
- Pick content angle(s)
- Use /generate-ideas to develop into Idea Cards
- Use /write-posts or /write-scripts to create content

Example

Input: Findings from:

• social-media-research: 5 hashtags, 10 facts, 5 news
• youtube-research: 5 video analyses with quotes
• deep-web-research: 15 insights, 10 data points

Output:

• Organized into 5 categories
• 35 findings total, all cited
• 12 content angles generated
• Saved research brief
• Summary presented

Quality Standards

• All 5 categories must be populated
• Every finding MUST have source
• Video findings MUST have timestamps
• Content angles MUST reference supporting research
• Confidence scores justified by sample size
• Executive summary concise (3-5 points)
