# Synthesizing Topic Knowledge This skill aggregates knowledge from multiple notes on a topic to create a unified understanding. ## Workflow ### 1. Identify the Topic The user will specify a topic, which could be: - A tag (e.g., "vue", "testing") - A concept (e.g., "local-first", "composables") - A question (e.g., "how to test Vue apps") ### 2. Find Related Notes **Search by tag:** ```bash grep -l "tags:.*topic-name" content/*.md ``` **Search by title/content:** ```bash grep -l "topic keyword" content/*.md ``` **Search by wiki-links:** ```bash grep -l "\[\[topic-related-slug\]\]" content/*.md ``` ### 3. Read and Extract For each related note, extract: - **Title and type**: What is this content? - **Summary**: The core idea - **Key points**: Main takeaways - **Quotes**: Memorable passages - **Connections**: What it links to ### 4. Synthesize Combine the extracted knowledge into a coherent overview: ```markdown ## What You Know About [Topic] ### Overview [1-2 paragraph synthesis of the topic based on your notes] ### Key Themes 1. **Theme A**: Explanation drawing from multiple notes 2. **Theme B**: Explanation drawing from multiple notes ### Sources in Your Knowledge Base | Note | Typ

About this skill
What does the summarizing-topic skill do?

Synthesize knowledge on a topic from multiple notes. Use when asked "what do I know about X", "summarize topic", "synthesize notes on", or "overview of".

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill summarizing-topic --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
