Knowledge Synthesis
If you're building enterprise search or RAG systems, this handles the messy last step: taking duplicate results scattered across Slack, email, Google Drive, and your issue tracker, then turning them into a single coherent answer. It deduplicates aggressively (the same decision announcement shows up in four places), attributes every claim to sources, and scores confidence based on freshness and authority. The workflow is explicit: deduplicate, cluster, rank, assess, synthesize, format. What I like is it doesn't hide conflicts. If the chat thread said GraphQL but the follow-up email said REST, it tells you both and explains which is likely current. Designed to be called by other skills, not users directly.

Knowledge Synthesis
The last mile of enterprise search. Takes raw results from multiple sources and produces a coherent, trustworthy answer.
The Goal
Transform this:
~~chat result: "Sarah said in #eng: 'let's go with REST, GraphQL is overkill for our use case'"
~~email result: "Subject: API Decision — Sarah's email confirming REST approach with rationale"
~~cloud storage result: "API Design Doc v3 — updated section 2 to reflect REST decision"
~~project tracker result: "Task: Finalize API approach — marked complete by Sarah"
Into this:
The team decided to go with REST over GraphQL for the API redesign. Sarah made the
call, noting that GraphQL was overkill for the current use case. This was discussed
in #engineering on Tuesday, confirmed via email Wednesday, and the design doc has
been updated to reflect the decision. The related ~~project tracker task is marked complete.
Sources:
- ~~chat: #engineering thread (Jan 14)
- ~~email: "API Decision" from Sarah (Jan 15)
- ~~cloud storage: "API Design Doc v3" (updated Jan 15)
- ~~project tracker: "Finalize API approach" (completed Jan 15)
