SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Converts disparate source materials (articles, transcripts, notes) into a single, structured talk summary so creators avoid manual synthesis, missed metrics, and unclear narrative arcs before building a presentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Metadata collection: Prompts for or validates slug, event, date, duration, audience, and type to ensure consistent talk records.
  • Source-type detection: Auto-detects REX (experience-based) versus Concept sources and adapts the narrative extraction accordingly.
  • Narrative & metrics extraction: Produces a clear narrative arc, 3–7 main themes, and extracts measurable metrics with sources while flagging gaps and next-stage recommendations.
  • Use Case: Prepare a conference talk from a long-form article and raw interview transcript by producing a concise talk summary that downstream stages consume.

Quick Start

Run the skill on your source file and provide any missing metadata like slug, event, date, duration, audience, and type so it writes the talks/{YYYY}-{slug}-summary.md output.
