## What This Skill Does
Converts any long-form content into a **sub-3-minute audio summary** that captures:
- The core thesis or main argument
- Key insights and takeaways
- Most important evidence or examples
- Actionable conclusions (if applicable)
**Supported Input Types:**
- 📚 **Books** — Full texts, chapters, or book PDFs
- 📄 **Long Articles** — Longform journalism, essays, blog posts
- 🎓 **Academic Papers** — Research papers, theses, journals
- 🎥 **Long Videos** — YouTube lectures, documentaries, talks (>20 minutes)
- 🎙️ **Podcasts** — Episode transcripts or audio files (>20 minutes)
### Step 1: Receive & Analyze Content
When the user provides content:
1. **Identify the content type** (book/article/paper/video/podcast)
2. **Extract or access the full content**:
- For videos/podcasts: Extract transcript
- For PDFs/articles: Read full text
- For books: Identify if it's full book or specific chapter
3. **Note metadata**: Title, author, length, publication date
### Step 2: Distill Core Content
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?
- What's surprising, counterintuitive, or novel?
**Critical Evidence (1-2 examples maximum)**
- What's the strongest proof or most memorable example?
- 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
- Focus on the **core content** the speaker is trying to convey
### For Long Articles
- Identify the central argument or story
- Extract the most compelling evidence or anecdotes
- Preserve the author's unique insights, cut the rest

Daily Check-in Coach (Morning & Evening Versions)
Based on "The Five Management Principles of Highly Effective People," this daily twice-daily check-in system involves setting plans and assessing performance in the morning, and then reviewing and comparing execution in the evening. Through comparative analysis of predictions and actual results, it helps users better understand their performance fluctuations and execution capabilities, continuously optimizing time management and goal achievement. Suitable for users who need to improve self-discipline and execution.
Academic Paper Writing System v3.0 (Wuyuan×AFP)
This academic paper writing system, integrating the Five-Source Model and AFP framework, provides a one-stop solution for the entire academic writing process, from initial observation to completion. ✅ Seven core modules: Topic Selection & Introduction → Literature Review → Research Methods → Discussion → Conclusion → Abstract & Keywords (new in v3.1) → Full Text Integration. Each stage is constrained by the Five-Source Model (structure + materials + style + integration + calibration). ✅ Stage-based diagnosis: The system automatically identifies your current writing stage (starting from scratch/already having a topic/already having a review, etc.) and jumps directly to the corresponding module, eliminating the need to start from the beginning. ✅ Anti-illusion firewall: It mandates the submission of real literature/data, with the B-core having veto power to reject any "illusionary content" without supporting materials, ensuring academic rigor. ✅ Interdisciplinary adaptation: It automatically identifies quantitative, qualitative, and speculative research paradigms and switches to corresponding writing strategies (e.g., quantitative analysis emphasizes "variable conflicts," while qualitative analysis emphasizes "failure of contextual explanatory power"), adapting to all disciplines from humanities and social sciences to STEM fields. After opening, simply tell the system "Which stage am I at?" + "My subject area" to start. The system will guide you through the process of submitting materials (literature/data/research ideas). Each completed module automatically generates usable chapter content, and finally, all are integrated into a complete paper with a single click. User feedback: 40% increase in C-level journal/SCI submission acceptance rate. v3.1 Major upgrade: Added Phase 6 abstract and keyword generation module, achieving a true closed-loop process from "topic selection → manuscript completion → abstract".
Thesis Topic Selection and Introduction Writing System v3.0 (Five-Source Model × AFP)
From vague ideas to complete topic selection, and then to high-quality introductions, the entire process is designed to prevent illusions. ✅ Stage-based diagnostic positioning—Whether you are in the stage of vague observation, research unit refinement, theoretical matching, or introduction writing, the system automatically identifies and starts from the corresponding stage, without having to start from scratch. ✅ Four-core collaborative quality control—A core generates content, B core reviews and rejects (with veto power!), C core evaluates innovativeness, and D core monitors the entire process, ensuring that every output conforms to academic norms. ✅ Anti-illusion firewall—Forced feeding of real literature to generate introductions, rejecting AI-fabricated citations, and all references must be traceable. ✅ Automatic switching of interdisciplinary methodologies—After recognizing your professional background, the system automatically calls the corresponding methodology (humanities and social sciences: Q-method, fantasy topic analysis; science, engineering, agriculture, and medicine: machine learning, multi-omics analysis), without requiring you to understand the details of the methodology. After opening the system and answering 3 questions (professional background/current stage/target journal), the system automatically determines which step to start from. Prepare the prefaces (including references) of 3-5 papers on the same topic as reference materials, and the system will generate a draft introduction that conforms to journal specifications based on real literature. The entire process involves collaboration among four core experts, with a second-tier expert reviewing at key stages. Submissions that fail to meet standards are immediately rejected and require revision. The program covers all disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, science, engineering, agriculture, and medicine, and is compatible with submissions to journals at all levels, including CSSCI, SCI, and Peking University core journals.
