Do.note Summary

Note Summary Skill

Fetch, read, and summarize any content into structured Markdown notes with guaranteed completeness. Uses a phased workflow with depth control and a post-generation quality checklist.

🚫 CRITICAL ANTI-PATTERNS

• DO NOT summarize based on abstracts, titles, or metadata alone. You MUST obtain the full original content.
• DO NOT produce the entire summary in one monolithic pass for long content. Break it into sections.
• DO NOT invent or hallucinate information not present in the source.

Depth Modes

The skill supports three depth levels, auto-detected or user-specified:

If unsure, default to Deep.

Workflow

Phase 0: Input Detection & Content Fetching

Identify the input type and fetch the complete source content.

Input types:

Error handling:

• If only an abstract is obtainable after retries, prepend a bold warning:

  ⚠️ Warning: Full text not found. This summary is based solely on the abstract.

• If audio/subtitle extraction fails after all fallback attempts, report error and stop.

Phase 1: Screening (海选) — ~5-10 minutes

Goal: Understand what the content is about. Determine category and depth.

1. Skim the content: read title, introduction/abstract, conclusion, and key figures.
2. Categorize the content:

3. Build the Section Manifest — create a mental (or written) outline of all major sections:

Manifest for: <title>
- [ ] Section 1: <heading> (approx scope)
- [ ] Section 2: <heading>
- [ ] ...
- [ ] Section N: <heading>
- Tables: T
- Figures: F

4. Write the preliminary output:
   • Frontmatter (complete)
   • > Core Summary (1-2 sentences)
   • ## 1. Key Insights (preliminary, 2-3 bullet points)

Decision point:

• If user requested Quick mode → finalize and stop here.
• Otherwise → proceed to Phase 2.

Phase 2: Structured Summarization

Goal: Produce a complete, section-by-section summary.

For each section in the manifest:

1. READ the section carefully.
2. SUMMARIZE with:
   • Key points with source references (timestamps for audio/video, section numbers for papers)
   • Preserved technical terms and proper nouns
   • Mermaid diagram if the section contains a process flow or concept hierarchy (use do.mermaid skill for syntax)
3. CHECK OFF the section in the manifest.
4. Link concepts — identify core concepts and create [[wikilinks]] to 40_Wiki/.

After all sections:

• Update ## 1. Key Insights with refined understanding.
• Write ## 3. Socratic Questions (≥2 challenging questions).
• Write ## 4. Related Concepts with wikilinks.

Decision point:

• If Standard mode → proceed to Phase 4 (Quality Checklist).
• If Deep mode → proceed to Phase 3.

Phase 3: Deep Analysis (精读) — Papers & Deep Mode Only

Goal: Critical analysis with mental reimplementation (Li Mu's Three-Pass Method, Pass 3).

For each major claim in the content, ask:

• What exactly is being claimed?
• What is the evidence?
• What are the hidden assumptions?
• Could this be done better?

"Mental Reimplementation" test:

• Can you close the paper and explain the core method from memory?
• Can you identify at least one weakness or improvement?

For papers — Citation Double-Linking:

Discover citation relationships. If related articles exist in 60_Notes, use precise double links:

🚨 Format: [[<Paper Name>_summary|<Paper Name>]] — never bare [[Paper Name]].

**References:**
- [[Attention Is All You Need_summary|Attention Is All You Need]]

**Cited By:**
- DepthAnything-v2 (Title only, not in vault)

Phase 4: Quality Checklist (MANDATORY)

Before finalizing, you MUST verify every item. If any item fails, go back and fix it.

## Output Quality Checklist
- [ ] Frontmatter complete (type, title, category, date, source, tags)
- [ ] Core summary present (1-2 sentences, first-principles decomposition)
- [ ] Key insights listed (≥2 points with concise explanations)
- [ ] Detailed structure covers ALL major sections from source
- [ ] Source references included (timestamps, section numbers, page numbers)
- [ ] Mermaid diagram generated for key process/concept (if applicable)
- [ ] Socratic questions posed (≥1, genuinely challenging)
- [ ] Wikilinks added for key concepts → 40_Wiki
- [ ] Source reference in frontmatter is accurate and linked
- [ ] (Papers only) Citation links use [[Name_summary|Name]] format
- [ ] (Papers only) Critical analysis section present (Deep mode)
- [ ] (Audio/Video only) Subtitle file saved as source, audio deleted

Do NOT finalize the note until all applicable items are checked.

Phase 5: Archive & Link

1. Storage path: 60_Notes/<Category>/<Title>/

   • Summary: <Title>_summary.md
   • Original file (if local): copy to same directory
   • Example: 60_Notes/papers/Attention Is All You Need/Attention Is All You Need_summary.md

2. For audio/video: Save the complete subtitle file as source, delete audio (.m4a files are too large).

3. Auto-Linking via RAG:

   • MANDATORY: Execute deeporbit --vault . rag "<Core Topic or Title>"
   • Read the context. If highly relevant notes exist in the vault, extract the top 2-3 notes.
   • Append a ## Related Links section to the VERY BOTTOM of your generated summary output. Briefly explain why each past note is relevant and use proper [[Wikilinks]].

Rules

• Read deeporbit.json from the workspace root to determine the interaction language. Use this language for all your responses and generated note contents (e.g. zh-CN). The Obsidian folder paths themselves will ALWAYS remain in English.
• Set author: ai in frontmatter for every note you create; switch to author: mixed when substantially rewriting a human-authored note. Authorship lives in frontmatter only — never add visible badges.
• Use do.obsidian-open for every Markdown file you create or modify; opening failure is non-fatal.
• Use do.mermaid skill for all diagram syntax. Do not inline Mermaid rules.
