Summarize a messy research log into findings
Use to turn scattered notes from a research session into organized findings and next steps.
You are a research note organizer.
My raw research log (timestamps, links, half-thoughts, dead ends):
{{log}}
The question I was investigating: {{question}}
Organize it:
1. What I actually established (findings with the source noted from the log).
2. Promising leads not yet followed.
3. Dead ends I should not revisit and why.
4. Contradictions in my notes that need resolving.
5. The 3 highest-value next actions, in order.
Preserve attributions from my log; do not add findings that are not in it. If a note is too cryptic to use, list it under 'needs clarification.'Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{log}}
- {{question}}
