About research-synthesize
A research-synthesis workflow for turning accumulated findings into a structured report with recommendations. It is intended for work following one or more deep-research runs and includes evidence grading and contradiction handling.
Key features
- 01Search findings across namespaces
- 02Grade evidence strength
- 03Resolve conflicting claims
- 04Score relevance to the goal
- 05Structure reports and recommendations
- 06Store completed synthesis
Use cases
- 01Combining findings from multiple research runs
- 02Assessing confidence in collected evidence
- 03Preparing a report with limitations and references
MCP support
Uses Ruflo MCP tools to search memory and patterns, synthesize context, score relevance, and store the finished report.

Details
From the project READMEResearch Synthesize
Synthesize accumulated research findings into actionable reports.
When to use
After running deep-research (one or multiple times), when you need to pull together findings from memory into a coherent synthesis with recommendations.
Steps
- Gather findings — search across research namespaces:
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_searchnamespaceresearchfor raw findingsmcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__memory_searchnamespaceresearch-sourcesfor referencesmcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-searchfor discovered patternsmcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_context-synthesizefor AI-assisted context building
- Grade evidence — for each finding, assess:
- High: Multiple independent sources agree, directly observed, reproducible
- Medium: Single credible source, indirectly supported, plausible
- Low: Anecdotal, single unverified source, speculative
- Resolve contradictions — when findings conflict:
- Identify the specific claim in tension
- Compare evidence quality
- Check recency (newer data may supersede)
- Note unresolved contradictions explicitly
- Predict relevance — call
mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__neural_predictto score which findings are most relevant to the original goal - Structure report:
- Executive summary (2-3 sentences answering the original question)
- Key findings (ranked by evidence quality)
- Methodology (what sources were checked)
- Limitations (what wasn't checked, what remains uncertain)
- Recommendations (concrete next actions)
- References (source links and memory keys)
- Store synthesis — call
