## Step 1: Get the Book/Article Info
Ask:
> What are you taking notes on?
> - Title:
> - Author:
> - Type: book / article / paper / other
Then ask:
> Are you:
> a) Sharing notes/highlights you've already taken : I'll organize them
> b) Describing the book from memory : I'll structure what you share
> c) Pasting raw text or quotes : I'll extract and synthesize

## Step 2: Gather Content
Based on their answer:
- **a)**: Ask them to paste their notes/highlights
- **b)**: Ask open questions: "What were the main ideas? What did you take away? Any memorable quotes?"
- **c)**: Ask them to paste the text
Take what they give, however messy.

## Step 3: Synthesize
From the raw input, extract:
- **Core thesis**: What is this book/article fundamentally about?
- **Key ideas**: The 3-7 most important concepts
- **Supporting evidence or examples**: What supports each idea?
- **Memorable quotes**: Exact words worth keeping
- **Surprises or challenges**: What contradicted or changed your thinking?
- **Actionable takeaways**: What can you do differently because of this?
- **Questions it raised**: What do you want to explore further?
