# Research Folder Synthesizer This skill synthesizes a folder of heterogeneous local files (markdown notes, plain-text articles, research excerpts) into a structured thematic report. It clusters ideas across files, surfaces key findings and contradictions, and produces a single `research-synthesis.md` ready to use as a foundation for reports, PRDs, or strategy documents. **Input:** - A folder path or list of local file paths (`.md`, `.txt`, plain text) - Optional: a focus question or research angle to guide thematic clustering **Output:** - `research-synthesis.md` — structured markdown with executive summary, named themes, key findings, contradictions/gaps, and source index --- ## Language Detection Detect the user's language from their message: - If Russian (or contains Cyrillic): respond in Russian - If English (or other Latin-script language): respond in English - If ambiguous: respond in the language of the trigger phrase used --- ## Instructions ### Step 1: Validate Input 1.
