theme-researcher

What problem does it solve? Understanding how a theme functions across long documents requires close reading and synthesis, which is time-consuming and easy to reduce to shallow keyword matching. This Skill reads source material systematically and produces a grounded thematic analysis instead of a surface-level summary. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Systematic close reading: Reads each file fully, chunking large files over 800 lines while tracking position, and takes running notes on theme-relevant passages with context. - Structured synthesis: Identifies dominant relationships, tensions, and anchor passages before writing a single 4-8 sentence paragraph grounded in specific moments from the text. - Use Case: A student provides three essays and asks how the concept of justice develops across them; the Skill reads all three, traces the theme's evolution, and delivers a standalone analytical paragraph. ## Quick Start Analyze how the theme of isolation appears across the attached novel chapters and write a synthesis paragraph.
