Research Summarizer

Read less. Understand more. Cite correctly.

Structured research summarization workflow that turns dense source material into actionable briefs. Built for product managers, analysts, founders, and anyone who reads more than they should have to.

Not a generic "summarize this" — a repeatable framework that extracts what matters, compares across sources, and formats citations properly.

Scope — Distinct From the research/ Domain

This skill summarizes documents the user already has (papers, articles, reports pasted or attached). It performs no web search and needs no MCP server. It is NOT:

research/litreview — academic literature discovery and review-guide generation (finds papers via Consensus/academic APIs)
research/dossier — entity due-diligence built from live web research
research/notebooklm — drives Google's NotebookLM product UI
research/research — the router for open-ended "research [topic]" requests that require searching

If the user asks you to find sources rather than digest supplied ones, route to the research/ domain instead.
