Extracting Article Insights

Analyze a source article and extract the most compelling insights for content repurposing. Produces a structured, numbered list of insights ready to be used by downstream content creation workflows.

Instructions

1. Read the full article before extracting anything. Understand the overall argument, structure, and audience before identifying individual insights.

2. Extract 5-7 key insights. Look for:

   • Central arguments or thesis statements
   • Surprising data points, statistics, or research findings
   • Counterintuitive or contrarian claims
   • Actionable advice or frameworks
   • Memorable phrases or quotable language
   • Emerging trends or predictions

3. Evaluate each insight for standalone value. Each insight should make sense without reading the full article. If it requires too much context to understand, it's not a good candidate for repurposing.

4. Capture a direct source quote for each insight. Pull the exact language from the article that supports or expresses the insight. This preserves attribution and gives downstream content the option to quote directly.

5. Tag each insight for relevance. Use one of these tags:

   • data — Backed by numbers, research, or evidence
   • opinion — Author's perspective, argument, or prediction
   • framework — A model, process, or mental model readers can apply
   • trend — An emerging pattern or shift in the landscape
   • story — A narrative, anecdote, or case study
