The interactive interview exists because recall is the point: articulating what you remember cements learning. AI fills gaps, not replaces thinking. The goal is threefold: 1. **Prompt active recall** — force articulation before showing what was highlighted 2. **Surface blind spots** — compare stated understanding against actual annotations 3. **Document the reader's experience** — produce a summary that reflects their perspective, not a Wikipedia entry This skill should reduce over-reliance on AI by making the user do the work first. ### When to Apply Trigger this skill when: - User mentions wanting a book review, book summary, or book notes - User provides reading data: highlights, annotations, bookmarks, or notes - Format can be anything: JSON, HTML, CSV, export, plain copy-paste Do not trigger for: - Fiction books (this workflow assumes non-fiction with arguments/themes) - Requests for a summary without the user's own reading data - Academic citation or bibliography tasks --- ## What This Skill Governs ### Workflow **1.
