+description: Synthesize research data into affinity diagrams, themes, and actionable insights.
+argument-hint: [research data, interview notes, or observation notes to synthesize]
+---
+
+Synthesize qualitative research data into structured insights:
+
+1. Use the `affinity-diagram` skill to organize raw data into themed clusters with insight statements
+2. 2. Use the `jobs-to-be-done` skill to map user motivations and outcome expectations
+   3. 3. Combine findings into a prioritized list of design implications and opportunities
+     
+      4. After completion, suggest: "Want me to `/discover` to create personas from these insights?" or "Want me to `/test-plan` to validate these findings with usability testing?"
