Output Structure
markdown
## Consolidated: [Topic] **Sources**: [X notes reviewed] | **Date Range**: [earliest] to [latest] ### Summary [Synthesized overview combining insights from all related notes] ### Key Points - [Point 1] — from [note reference] - [Point 2] — from [note reference] - [Point 3] — from [note reference] ### Timeline | Date | Event/Decision | |------|----------------| | [Date] | [What happened] | ### Cross-References - **[Note 1 title]**: [how it relates to the topic] - **[Note 2 title]**: [how it relates] ### Gaps - [Information that's missing] - [Topics that need more documentation] - [Outdated content that needs refresh]
Guidelines
Synthesis vs. Aggregation
- •Do synthesize: Combine related points into coherent insights
- •Don't just list: Avoid copy-pasting from each note sequentially
- •Find patterns: Identify themes across notes
- •Resolve conflicts: Note when sources disagree
Attribution
- •Reference source notes for key points
- •Include note titles or IDs for traceability
- •Preserve original authors when known
Quality Checks
- •Flag stale information (notes > 6 months old)
- •Note contradictions between notes
- •Identify outdated decisions that may need revisiting
- •Highlight frequently referenced topics
Handling Large Sets
- •Group notes by subtopic if > 10 notes
- •Prioritize recent notes over old ones
- •Summarize in layers (overview → details)
