Synthesizes user research interviews into actionable insights, patterns, and recommendations. Use after conducting user interviews, customer calls, or usability sessions to extract and communicate findings across participants. Distinct from foundation-meeting-recap, which summarizes one internal meeting for its attendees; this skill aggregates research conversations into evidence-backed findings.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Interview Synthesis

An interview synthesis transforms raw user research data into structured insights that drive product decisions. Rather than simply listing what participants said, a good synthesis identifies patterns across conversations, connects observations to underlying user needs, and translates findings into actionable recommendations.

## When to Use

- After completing a round of user interviews (typically 5+ participants)
- Following customer discovery calls or sales feedback sessions
- After usability testing sessions to consolidate observations
- When stakeholders need a summary of research findings
- Before ideation sessions to ground the team in user reality

## When NOT to Use

- You are summarizing one internal meeting for its attendees -> use `foundation-meeting-recap`
- You need patterns across multiple meetings over time -> use `foundation-meeting-synthesize`
- Your data is survey responses rather than interviews -> use `measure-survey-analysis`
- The findings are synthesized and you are ready to frame the problem -> use `define-problem-statement`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add product-on-purpose/pm-skills/discover-interview-synthesis@sha256:2b7918327a1154ba

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.3.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
