How does this skill differ from standard AI summarization prompts?

This skill uses a 'substance-over-topic' framework to extract concrete facts, claims, and conclusions rather than just listing what a document is about, preventing the vague summaries typical of basic prompts.

About this skill

The problem

Synthesizing long documents, meeting notes, or legal papers is a manual chore that eats up hours of billable time. Generic AI summaries often provide vague "tables of contents" that tell you what topics are discussed without actually conveying the data or decisions within them.

Built with beginners in mind — paste any document, article, or text, and this skill distills it into a clear, concise summary with key takeaways. No research or writing skills required. Experienced professionals save time too: consistent summary structure and accurate key-point extraction on every document means faster information processing.

What it does

Extracts specific facts, claims, and conclusions rather than just listing topics covered.
Offers six distinct output modes including paragraphs, scannable bullet points, and chronological timelines.
Generates structured hierarchical outlines for long-form research papers and technical reports.
Performs targeted searches within pasted text to find specific names, dates, or recommendations.
Supports re-formatting the same source text into different modes without needing to re-paste the data.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

This skill enforces a strict substance-over-topic rule, ensuring every line delivers actual information. It eliminates the "hallucination of brevity" where models skip crucial details, providing a consistent conversational flow that guides you to the right format every time.

Use cases

Convert messy meeting transcripts into chronological timelines of decisions.
Boil down 20-page research papers into a single, high-impact sentence for quick review.
Turn dense legal or insurance documents into structured, scannable outlines.
Find specific data points or dates hidden in long email threads or reports.

Known limitations

The timeline mode requires chronologically structured source text and will prompt for a different format if dates or sequential steps are missing.
