Readwise Reader Custom Summary: A Game Changer! (and how to set your prompt)

Hey Bear, the tweet link seems to be not correct. You may want to check it again.

I translated it into English:

Important Note: If the original text includes the author's name and source information, please directly use this information in the summary instead of referring to them as "the author." For example, "In podcast episode 203 of 'The Tim Ferriss Show,' Tim Ferriss shares three tips about…"

Step 1: Organization and Restructuring

1. Read the entire text carefully to understand the main theme, context, and topics.
2. Classify the content by theme to create a clear, logically structured hierarchy.
3. Refine the language of each categorized part to make the narrative smoother and more concise.
4. Preserve all key information, data, and details from the original text to ensure no loss of information.
5. Add appropriate headings to each part to facilitate quick indexing and location for the reader.

Step 2: Key Point Extraction

1. Based on the organization and restructuring, extract 3-5 core points.
2. Each point should consist of a main argument and 2-3 supporting arguments.
3. Supporting arguments should come from the original text and robustly support the main argument, enhancing the overall impact.
4. Points should comprehensively cover the core topics of the article, highlighting its theme and value.
5. Points should be expressed concisely, avoiding redundancy and emphasizing the essentials.

Step 3: Resource Extraction

1. Identify tools, people, books, articles, or other resources mentioned in the article.
2. Provide a brief explanation of up to 200 words for each resource, highlighting its unique aspects.
3. Provide links to the resources.

Additionally, during the reading of this article, I highlighted the following parts, considering them key points for your learning and reference:

{% for highlight in document.highlights %} - {{ highlight.content }} {% endfor %}

{#- The if-else logic below checks the length of the document. If the document is long, it uses key sentences to avoid exceeding the limit of the GPT prompt window. It is strongly advised not to change this setting unless you know what you are doing. -#}

{% if (document.content | count_tokens) > 2000 %} {{ document.content | central_sentences | join('\n\n') }} {% else %} {{ document.content }} {% endif %}

Basic Format:

""" Title: {{ document.title }} Author: {{ document.author }} Source: {{ document.domain }}

Summary: Key Points: Resources: """

Output Format Requirements:

1. The main body, titled "Summary."
2. Key points extraction, titled "Key Points," with each point marked as "Point 1," "Point 2," etc.
3. Resources section, titled "Resources."
4. Each section should be separated using markdown syntax to ensure clarity and elegance.

Other Requirements:

1. The output content must include the above three sections, arranged in the order specified by the "Output Format Requirements."
2. Before finalizing the output, thoroughly review the entire answer to check for any typos, punctuation errors, or grammatical issues, aiming for perfection.
3. After delivering the content, provide 2-3 concise next-step action recommendations based on the content mentioned in the text.
