Contributions
SynthTeam converts a colleague’s Slack history into a structured document about priorities, opinions, decision patterns and domain knowledge. Other skills consult one document or convene a simulated panel to critique a plan. The project focuses on the substance of a perspective rather than copying a person’s wording. It labels answers as simulations and flags extrapolation beyond the source document. That distinction matters: an apparent objection from the simulation is a prompt for discussion, not an actual decision by the colleague.[2]

SynthTeam
github.comA plugin that distills workplace messages into perspective documents and uses them to simulate critiques of plans.
Read the sample output and the distinction between a simulated view and a real colleague’s decision first. Using the ingestion workflow requires appropriate access to the source workplace messages and a supported coding agent.
