Summarize Findings

Creates a structured summary from research session activity.

Inputs

Input Type Default Purpose
topic string required Topic of research (e.g., "caching strategies")
conclusion string - Your conclusion or recommendation
save_to_memory bool true Save summary to memory for future reference

Workflow

1. Get Session Logs

  • Read memory/sessions/{today}.yaml — last 20 entries
  • Or use memory_read / session log APIs if available

2. Filter Research Entries

  • Include entries where action contains: research, search, compare, explain, plan
  • Or topic appears in action/details

3. Build Summary

Output markdown with:

  • Research Summary: {topic}
  • Date
  • Research Activity: timestamped actions from filtered entries
  • Conclusion: if provided
  • Key Findings: numbered placeholder list
  • Next Steps: checklist placeholder
  • References: links placeholder

4. Save to Memory (if save_to_memory)

  • Append to memory/learned/research_summaries.yaml
  • Entry: topic, date, conclusion, activity_count
  • Keep last 50 summaries

5. Log

  • memory_session_log("Created research summary: {topic}", "Conclusion: {conclusion[:100]}")

Key MCP Tools

  • memory_read — session logs
  • memory_session_log — session logging
  • File write to memory/learned/research_summaries.yaml for persistence

Chaining

  • After: research_topic, compare_options
  • Before: plan_implementation, create_jira_issue
