Perform deep analysis to extract the absolute essentials:
**Core Thesis (must)**
- What is the central argument or main message?
- What question is the author trying to answer?
**Key Insights (3-5 points maximum)**
- What are the most important ideas or discoveries?
- What changes the way we think about this topic?

- Which case study or data point best illustrates the thesis?
**Actionable Takeaway (if applicable)**
- What should the listener do with this information?
- How does this change their thinking or behavior?
**Quality Filter:**
- Ruthlessly prioritize **signal over noise**
- Cut all tangents, side stories, and filler
- Focus on what's **memorable and useful**
- Aim for **clarity over comprehensiveness**
### Step 3: Generate Audio
Once the script is finalized:
1. **Select appropriate voice**:
- Default: Professional, clear, engaging narrator voice
- Match tone to content (authoritative for academic, warm for self-help, etc.)
2. **Set audio parameters**:
- Speed: 1.0 (natural pace, adjust only if script runs long)
- Emotion: Neutral to slightly positive (engaging but not overly enthusiastic)
- Language: Match the source content language
3. **Call audioGenerate tool** with:
- `title`: "[Content Title] — 3-Minute Overview"
- `text`: The complete script
- `voice`: Selected voice ID
- `mode`: "single"

## Adaptive Content Handling
### For Books
- If **full book**: Extract overarching thesis + most important chapters
- If **specific chapter**: Focus on that chapter's core argument
- Prioritize: Main thesis → Key frameworks → Most memorable examples
### For Academic Papers
- Focus on: Research question → Methodology (briefly) → Key findings → Implications
- Translate jargon into plain language
- Emphasize **what this means** not just **what they found**
### For Long Videos/Podcasts
- Extract transcript first
- Identify the main narrative arc or argument
- Cut all banter, ads, tangents, and repetition

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?"
