SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Reduce skill converts raw source material into structured, domain-relevant notes that externalize reasoning and support end-to-end provenance in a knowledge graph. It emphasizes comprehensive extraction and aims to surface core domain claims, evidence, patterns, tensions, and enrichments, not just summaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive extraction of core domain notes: claims, evidence, patterns, tensions, validations, and enrichments.
  • Automatic generation of enrichment tasks to strengthen existing notes and improve cross-linking.
  • Support for multi-source and large documents with chunking and cross-chunk coordination.
  • Provenance and attribution: explicit source references and topic-map connections for traceability.

Quick Start

Provide a source document and run the reduce skill to produce structured domain notes with provenance.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract structured domain knowledge from raw literature sources?

To extract structured domain knowledge from raw literature sources, the skill converts source material into standalone notes capturing claims, evidence, patterns, tensions, and enrichments with clear provenance. It externalizes reasoning to support end-to-end traceability in a knowledge graph.

How does knowledge graph enrichment work when processing experimental data?

Knowledge graph enrichment works by analyzing experimental data and automatically generating enrichment tasks that strengthen existing notes and improve cross-linking opportunities. This process surfaces core domain claims, evidence, and validations while maintaining explicit source references for traceability.

Can I use structured notes extraction for large documents and multiple sources?

Yes, you can extract structured notes from large documents and multiple sources. The skill supports multi-source processing with automatic chunking and cross-chunk coordination to ensure comprehensive extraction of arguments, evidence, and reasoning across the entire input.

What is the best way to externalize reasoning and capture hypotheses from source material?

The best way to externalize reasoning and capture hypotheses is to convert source material into composable standalone notes. This approach emphasizes comprehensive extraction of domain claims, evidence, patterns, and tensions rather than simple summaries, ensuring topic-map connections are established.

Do I need external prompts to generate structured notes with provenance?

No, you do not need external prompts to generate structured notes with provenance. The skill requires no external prompts beyond the input source document itself, automatically producing standalone, composable notes with explicit source references and topic-map connections for attribution.

What distinguishes comprehensive domain note extraction from basic document summarization?

Comprehensive domain note extraction distinguishes itself from basic summarization by surfacing core domain claims, evidence, patterns, tensions, validations, and enrichments. It generates enrichment tasks and cross-linking opportunities for the knowledge graph, whereas summarization only condenses text.
