Data analysis skills

Research Synthesis

Synthesizes multiple sources into a structured research summary: source quality assessment, finding extraction, theme identification, evidence strength rating, and contradiction mapping. Produces a research brief, not a literature review.

Download Murage

Free and open source. macOS, Windows and Ubuntu.

Try it

Add the skill to a bot, then ask your Chief of Staff:

“Use the Research Synthesis skill on this: [describe the job, or paste your notes].”

This step must happen before finding extraction. Assessing quality after reading introduces anchoring bias -- you will unconsciously inflate the quality of sources that support the conclusion you have already formed.

Skill Guard: needs a look

Something in it deserves a human read. It switches on only after you say so.
