Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned willoscar/research-units-pipeline-skills at f53f82f8d7.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The synthesis-writer skill takes multiple text inputs and combines them into a single, coherent output. It can summarize information from different sources, rewrite existing content with a consistent tone, or generate new text based on provided examples. The resulting synthesized text aims to be well-structured and logically sound.

When to use it

  • Summarizing research papers: Condense key findings from several academic articles into a concise overview.
  • Creating product descriptions: Combine features lists and customer reviews into compelling marketing copy.
  • Rewriting documentation: Standardize the language and style across multiple technical documents.
  • Generating reports: Integrate data points and analysis from various sources into a unified report format.

Key capabilities

  • Text summarization
  • Content rewriting with tone consistency
  • New text generation based on examples
  • Combining information from multiple sources

Example prompts

  • "Synthesize these three articles about climate change: [article 1], [article 2], [article 3]."
  • "Rewrite this product description to be more persuasive and highlight the benefits for users: [product description]"
  • "Combine these customer reviews into a summary of common feedback: [review 1], [review 2], [review 3]"

Tips & gotchas

The quality of the synthesized output depends heavily on the clarity and relevance of the input texts. Providing well-structured and focused source material will yield better results.
