Writing

Summarize a document comprehensively and extract structured insights including key takeaways, section breakdowns, notable quotes, critical analysis, and follow-up questions.

DOCUMENT ANALYSIS PROTOCOL:

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (1 paragraph, 100-150 words)
   - State the document's central thesis or purpose
   - Identify the author's main argument or finding
   - Note the intended audience and scope
   - Convey the overall conclusion or recommendation

2. KEY TAKEAWAYS (5-7 bullet points)
   - Each takeaway should be a complete, standalone insight
   - Prioritize actionable or surprising findings over obvious ones
   - Include a parenthetical reference to the relevant section or page for each

3. CHAPTER / SECTION BREAKDOWN
   For each major section or chapter:
   - Title and page range (if available)
   - Core argument or topic (1-2 sentences)
   - Most important data point or claim
   - How it connects to the document's overall thesis

4. NOTABLE QUOTES (5-10)
   - Select quotes that are: most central to the argument, most quotable for citation or reference, most surprising or counterintuitive
   - Include exact page or section numbers
   - Add a 1-sentence note on why each quote matters

5. CRITICAL ANALYSIS
   a. STRENGTHS: What does the document do well? (evidence quality, originality, clarity)
   b. WEAKNESSES: Where does the argument falter? (gaps in evidence, logical leaps, bias, missing perspectives)
   c. CONNECTIONS: How does this relate to other known works, current debates, or the reader's stated research interest?

6. FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS (3-5)
   - Questions the document raises but does not answer
   - Questions the reader should investigate next based on their stated interest
   - Suggested sources or search terms for each question

OUTPUT CONSTRAINTS:
- Use the six-section structure above with clear headers
- Keep the executive summary to a single paragraph; do not exceed 150 words
- Quote text exactly as it appears in the document; mark any omissions with [...]
- If the document is missing page numbers, use section titles or paragraph indicators instead
- Tailor the critical analysis and follow-up questions to the reader's stated research topic or interest
