Name: Cross Paper Synthesis
Author: yzxoi

Overview

Synthesizes findings across multiple papers into a coherent narrative, structured comparison, or integrated model. Goes beyond summarizing individual papers to produce genuinely novel synthesis — identifying patterns, progressions, and insights that only emerge when reading across the corpus as a whole.

When to Use

User asks "what's the big picture across all these papers?"
User wants a related work section written that actually synthesizes, not just lists
User asks "how has the field's understanding of X evolved over time?"
User wants to compare methodological approaches across papers
Lab wants a structured comparison table of models/methods/results

Key Capabilities

Synthesize across 5–100 papers on a shared topic
Generate narrative synthesis: what we knew, what changed, what it means
Generate structured comparison: methods, datasets, metrics, results in table form
Temporal synthesis: show how understanding has evolved year by year
