What it does
Comparative Synthesis is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Compare and synthesize findings across multiple completed DeepScan reports. Use when the user wants cross-run analysis, trend comparison, or a unified summary from several research sessions.
Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants cross-run analysis
- Trend comparison
- A unified summary from several research sessions
Example prompts
- “/comparative-synthesis”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Use summarize_evidence to pull cross-report summaries from the user's DeepScan history.
- If the user references specific runs, use get_deepscan_report for each to get full report data.
- Identify overlapping papers, conflicting findings, and complementary themes across runs.
- Use run_python_plot to visualize comparisons when the data supports it.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78497e5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Comparative Synthesis loads about 687 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 346 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- comparative-synthesis
- description
- Compare and synthesize findings across multiple completed DeepScan reports. Use when the user wants cross-run analysis, trend comparison, or a unified summary from several research sessions.
Comparative Synthesis
Use this skill when the user wants to compare, contrast, or synthesize findings across multiple completed DeepScan runs rather than monitor a single active job.
Workflow
- Use
summarize_evidenceto pull cross-report summaries from the user's DeepScan history. - If the user references specific runs, use
get_deepscan_reportfor each to get full report data. - Identify overlapping papers, conflicting findings, and complementary themes across runs.
- Use
run_python_plotto visualize comparisons when the data supports it.
Output Style
Structure the synthesis around:
- Common ground — papers, methods, or findings that appear across multiple runs
- Divergences — where different runs reached different conclusions or surfaced different literature
- Gaps — topics or questions that no run adequately covered
- Trends — temporal patterns, emerging methods, or shifting consensus visible across runs
Keep sections short and reference specific papers by title and year.
Tool Guidance
Use summarize_evidence
Call this first. It aggregates across the user's stored DeepScan history and is the fastest way to get a cross-run view.
Use for:
- "What do my recent DeepScans say about X?"
- "Summarize everything I've researched on topic Y"
- "Compare findings across my last three runs"
Use get_deepscan_report
Call for specific runs when the user wants:
- side-by-side comparison of two named runs
- detailed data from a particular session that
summarize_evidencecondensed too aggressively
Use run_python_plot
Use after you have structured data from reports. Good comparison plots include:
- paper overlap Venn or bar chart across runs
- citation count distributions side by side
- publication year histograms per run
- venue frequency comparison
- topic/method co-occurrence heatmap
Only plot when there is enough data to be meaningful. Say so if the data is too sparse.
Do NOT use
run_deepscan— this skill synthesizes completed runs, not starts new onessearch_literature— use the existing DeepScan data, not new searches
Examples
- User asks: "Compare my DeepScan on transformer efficiency with the one on model distillation."
- User asks: "What themes keep showing up across all my recent research sessions?"
- User asks: "Plot the publication year distribution from my last two DeepScans side by side."
- User asks: "Synthesize everything I've researched on protein folding this month."
