synthesis-and-analogy

SKILL.md

Synthesize information from multiple sources into coherent insights and use analogical reasoning to transfer knowledge across domains, explain complex concepts, and find creative solutions.

Synthesis: Combining information from multiple sources into unified, coherent whole that reveals patterns, resolves conflicts, and generates new insights beyond individual sources.

Analogy: Structural mapping between domains where relationships in source domain (familiar) illuminate relationships in target domain (unfamiliar). Good analogies preserve deep structure, not just surface features.

Use when synthesizing information from multiple sources (literature review, stakeholder feedback, research findings, data from different systems), creating or evaluating analogies for explanation or problem-solving (cross-domain transfer, "X is like Y", structural mapping), combining conflicting viewpoints into unified framework, identifying patterns across disparate sources, finding creative solutions by transferring principles from one domain to another, testing whether analogies hold (surface vs deep similarities), or when user mentions "synthesize", "combine sources", "analogy", "like", "similar to", "transfer from", "integrate findings", "what's it analogous to".
