Localized reading guide
synthesize-researchPurpose, usage and source
Synthesize user research from interviews, surveys, and feedback into structured insights. Use when you have a pile of interview notes, survey responses, or support tickets to make sense of, need to extract themes and rank findings by frequency and impact, or want to turn raw feedback into roadmap recommendations.

The purpose and workflow passages below are upstream material, organized and translated for reading. They are distinct from the separately labeled Codez editorial analysis.
What this Skill does
Synthesize user research from interviews, surveys, and feedback into structured insights. Use when you have a pile of interview notes, survey responses, or support tickets to make sense of, need to extract themes and rank findings by frequency and impact, or want to turn raw feedback into roadmap recommendations.
How the upstream workflow works
2. Process the Research
For each source, extract: Key observations: What did users say, do, or experience? Quotes: Verbatim quotes that illustrate important points Behaviors: What users actually did (vs what they said they do)
Upstream passage · L37 ↗Research Overview
Methodology: what types of research, how many participants/sources Research question(s): what we set out to learn Timeframe: when the research was conducted
Upstream passage · L63 ↗Synthesize Research
> If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md. Synthesize user research from multiple sources into structured insights and recommendations.
Upstream passage · L7 ↗/synthesize-research $ARGUMENTSRequirements and setup
No short requirements passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill has no dependencies. Check the repository setup instructions and referenced files.
Limits and quality checks
No separate limits passage was selected from this file. This does not mean the Skill is safe for every input or environment. Review the complete source and validate your own result.
Start with a safe trial
- Check the supported host and the repository installation instructions. Keep the Skill directory and its referenced scripts, assets and documentation together; SKILL.md alone may omit dependencies.
- Give the agent your real input, desired output and acceptance criteria. Invocation syntax and available tools depend on the host; this site does not assume a universal install command.
- Try the source workflow in a disposable project or on a copy. Review operations that change files, remote services or billable resources before allowing them.
- Validate the output against the source quality checks and your own requirements. A successful trigger or a high repository Star count does not establish a correct result.
