## What This Skill Does
Takes any YouTube video and converts its transcript into a structured written article that captures:
- **Core Arguments** — The central thesis and key claims
- **Case Studies** — Real-world examples and evidence cited
- **Stories** — Narratives, anecdotes, and personal experiences shared
- **Points of Contention** — Debates, controversies, or alternative viewpoints discussed
- **Methodologies** — Frameworks, processes, step-by-step approaches, or mental models
- **Quotable Moments** — Memorable phrases worth highlighting
## Workflow
### Step 1: Receive & Process Video
When the user provides a YouTube link:
1. Extract the full transcript from the video
2. Identify the speaker(s), video title, and channel name
3. Note the video length and publication date for context
### Step 2: Deep Content Analysis
Analyze the transcript to identify and categorize:
**Core Arguments (must)**
- What is the speaker's main thesis?
- What are the 3-5 supporting arguments?
- What conclusions does the speaker draw?
**Case Studies & Examples (if applicable)**
- Specific companies, products, or individuals mentioned as examples
- Data points, statistics, or research cited
- Before/after scenarios or comparisons
**Stories & Anecdotes (
if applicable
)**
- Personal experiences the speaker shares
- Third-party stories used to illustrate points
- Historical references or origin stories
**Points of Contention (
if applicable
)**
- Counterarguments the speaker addresses
- Common misconceptions they debunk
- Controversial takes or "hot takes"
- Areas where experts disagree
**Methodologies & Frameworks (
if applicable
)**
- Step-by-step processes explained
- Mental models or thinking frameworks
- Tools, techniques, or systems recommended
- Decision-making criteria or rubrics
**Quotable Moments (must have)**

- Metaphors or analogies that illuminate concepts
- Provocative statements that challenge assumptions
- Memorable definitions or reframings
### Step 3: Generate Article
Transform the above extracted elements into a cohesive written article:
---
## Article Output Format
### [Article Title — Derived from Video's Core Message]
**Source:** [Video Title] by [Channel Name]
**Duration:** [X minutes] | **Published:** [Date]
**Link:** [YouTube URL]
---
#### 💡 Core Thesis
[2-3 sentences capturing the video's central argument in clear, declarative prose]
---
#### 🎯 Key Arguments
**1. [Argument Headline]**
[Explanatory paragraph expanding on this point — written in flowing prose, not bullet points]
**2. [Argument Headline]**
[Explanatory paragraph]
**3. [Argument Headline]**
[Explanatory paragraph]
[Continue as needed...]
---
#### 📊 Case Studies & Evidence
**[Case Study Title]**
[Narrative description of the example — what happened, why it matters, what it proves]
[Repeat for each significant case study...]
---
#### 📖 Stories Worth Remembering
**[Story Title or Theme]**
[Retell the anecdote in engaging prose — preserve the narrative arc and emotional resonance]
[Repeat for each notable story...]
---
#### ⚔️ Points of Contention
**The Debate:**
[Explain the disagreement, controversy, or counterargument discussed]
**The Speaker's Position:**
[How they respond to or resolve the tension]
---
#### 🛠️ Methodology & Frameworks
**[Framework Name or Process Title]**
[Explain the methodology in clear steps or principles:]

2. **[Step/Principle 2]:** [Explanation]
3. **[Step/Principle 3]:** [Explanation]
[If applicable, note when/how to apply this framework]
---
#### 💬 Quotable Moments
> "[Exact quote from transcript]"
> — On [topic/context]
> "[Another memorable quote]"
> — On [topic/context]
> "[Third quote]"
> — On [topic/context]
[Include 3-7 of the most impactful quotes]
---
#### 🔑 Key Takeaways
1. [Single-sentence summary of most important insight]
2. [Second key takeaway]
3. [Third key takeaway]
---
## Writing Guidelines
### Tone & Style
- Write in clear, confident prose — avoid hedging language
- Prioritize narrative flow over exhaustive coverage
- Make it readable as a standalone article (someone who didn't watch the video should understand everything)
- Preserve the speaker's voice in quotes, but paraphrase other content in polished written style
### What to Exclude
- Filler words, repetition, and verbal tics from speech
- Sponsor reads, self-promotion, and call-to-action segments
- Tangents that don't contribute to the core message
- Small talk, greetings, and sign-offs
### Adaptive Sections
- **Include a section only if relevant content exists** — not every video has stories, not every video has methodology
- If a video is primarily theoretical → emphasize Core Arguments and Quotables
- If a video is primarily practical → emphasize Methodology and Case Studies
- If a video is primarily narrative → emphasize Stories and Quotables
### Length Calibration
- **Short video (<15 min):** Article ~800-1,200 words
- **Medium video (15-45 min):** Article ~1,500-2,500 words
- **Long video (>45 min):** Article ~2,500-4,000 words

LearnRapid Industry Understanding
📋 Usage Guide This Skill is an industry research engine based on McKinsey methodology, using the eight-dimension framework from Xiao Jing's "How to Quickly Understand an Industry". Tell it an industry name, and it produces a systematic research report. —————————————————————————————— 🚀 Basic Usage Just tell me the industry you want to research—the more specific, the better: a. "Analyze the solid-state battery industry" b. "Look at the humanoid robot supply chain from an entrepreneurial perspective" c. "Is the solar industry still investable now?" You can optionally provide three details (if missing, I'll use defaults): 1. Industry name: be specific, e.g., "perovskite solar" instead of "new energy"—required; 2. Goal: investment / career / entrepreneurship / competitive analysis / education, default: investment; 3. Region: China market / global / US / Southeast Asia..., default: China market; —————————————————————————————— ⚙️ What it does automatically? The entire process has 4 stages: 1. Multi-round web searches for market size/growth/penetration rate, supply chain, competitive landscape, moat evidence, policy, valuation—every conclusion has a source and timestamp, never fabricated; 2. Lifecycle positioning: use penetration rate to determine if the industry is in introduction/growth/maturity/decline—different stages have completely different research focuses; 3. Eight-dimension deep dive: business model → market size → moat (forced deep dive into dynamic trends) → competitive landscape (forced scoring on each of Porter's Five Forces) → valuation → PEST → business cycle; 4. Contrarian check: distinguish market priced-in consensus from overlooked real issues, and provide decision recommendations; —————————————————————————————— 📊 What it outputs? A professional research report in Markdown format, structured as: 1. ⚡ 30-second verdict — stage / core profit logic / biggest opportunity / biggest risk / one-sentence conclusion; 2. Research object and boundary definition; 3. Lifecycle positioning (with penetration rate data); 4. Eight-dimension analysis (moat includes dynamic trend table, Porter's Five Forces scoring table); 5. Contrarian check; 6. Conclusion and decision recommendations; 7. Key risk list; 8. Data sources and time notes; —————————————————————————————— 🔑 Two Core Highlights 1. Forced deep dive on moat: not just the type of barrier, but must answer "has it widened or narrowed in the past 2-3 years?" using market share/gross margin/pricing power data; 2. Porter's Five Forces scored individually: all five forces scored to avoid shortcuts, determining who has the strongest bargaining power now and whether the landscape is favorable or deteriorating for leaders; —————————————————————————————— ⏱️ Time Approximately 2-4 minutes, due to multiple rounds of search + dimension-by-dimension analysis + report writing —————————————————————————————— 🧩 Subsequent Extensions After the report is generated, you can continue with two specialized analyses (requires manual confirmation, won't run automatically): 1. "Unchain to find bottlenecks": identify physical bottlenecks in the supply chain that can't be bypassed when trends scale, locking in true beneficiary targets; 2. "DCF valuation": run a full discounted cash flow model for a specific company within the industry; —————————————————————————————— ▶️ Want to try? Just tell me an industry name, e.g., "Take a look at the AI agent industry from an entrepreneurial perspective" or "What's the situation with the hydrogen energy supply chain?"
