Research Synthesize
Apply external research findings to the project.
When to Use
- •Have research documents to process
- •Need to map findings to project constraints
- •Filtering relevant insights
Approach
Phase 1: Research Ingestion
- •Document inventory
- •Cross-reference themes
Phase 2: Relevance Filtering
Score each finding:
| Finding | Relevance (1-5) | Feasibility (1-5) | Alignment (1-5) |
|---|---|---|---|
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
Threshold: Discard if Relevance < 3 OR Feasibility < 3.
Phase 3: Mapping to Existing Systems
- •Map to design tokens/components
- •Note adaptation requirements
- •Check dependency constraints
Phase 4: Recommendation Synthesis
- •Ranked recommendations
- •Implementation hints
- •Open questions
Output
RESEARCH-APPLICATION-[FEATURE-NAME].md ending with: "These are the top recommendations. Ready for PRD scoping?"
Constraints
- •No original ideation — recommendations trace to research
- •No new dependencies without approval
- •No code generation
