# YouTube Breakdown Turn a YouTube transcript into one of four structured breakdowns. The four modes are genuinely different tools, not reshuffled versions of the same output — Study Notes wants depth and hierarchy, Quick Reference wants ruthless compression, Critique wants adversarial engagement, Actionable Insights wants a plan. Picking wrong wastes the run. So: **always ask which mode before generating.** Never auto-pick. --- ## Mode Selection Present the four options: ``` Which mode? 1. Study Notes — deep, hierarchical, for videos worth retaining long-term 2. Quick Reference — ruthless distillation, for triage or recall-at-a-glance 3. Critique — steelman then dismantle, for skeptical engagement 4. Actionable Insights — actions + frameworks separated, for tactical content ``` When the trigger phrase implies a mode ("critique this video" → Mode 3, "what should I do with this video" → Mode 4, "study notes for this" → Mode 1), still confirm rather than assume: *"Sounds like Critique mode — confirm or pick a different one?"* One turn is cheap; a 900-word breakdown in the wrong register is not. > **Auto-router (deliberately off).** A pre-flight classifier that reads the first ~500 > words and recommends a mode is specced under [Future Extensions](#future-extensions). > Kyle's standing preference is explicit choice. Revisit only if mode-picking starts to > feel like friction. --- ## Input Handling | Input | How to handle | |---|---| | **Pasted transcript text** | Use
