# Taking Lecture Notes
## Purpose
Transform raw lecture content (transcript, plain text, slides) into clean, structured notes
that the user can use for study or reference.
## Input
The user will provide:
- **Required:** The lecture text (transcript with or without timestamps, plain text, etc.)
- **Optional — detail level:** The user may ask for "concise" or "detailed" notes.
If not specified, judge based on the complexity of the content.
- **Optional — language:** If the user does not specify, write the notes in the same language
they used in their request.
## Notes Principles — Critical
Study these principles carefully. They define the quality of the output:
- **Hierarchy over lists.** Don't just bullet-point everything. Use headers (`##`, `###`)
to show which concepts are central and which are subcategories.
- **Summarize, don't transcribe.** The goal is not to copy the lecture — it's to extract
the essence. Use your own words where it aids understanding.
- **Surface the "why".** If the lecture explains why something exists or why it matters,
that should be visible in the notes — not just the "what".
- **Analogies and examples.** If the lecture uses an analogy or example to explain something
difficult, include it — it's often the most useful part for studying.
- **Callouts for key points.** Use `> ⚠️` or `> 💡` to highlight warnings, exceptions,
or particularly important observations.
- **Tables where helpful.** If the lecture compares things (e.g. A vs B)
