name	rapid-context-extractor
description	Extract and teach key points from a source using seed context, then force active engagement. Use when analyzing articles, documents, transcripts, video/audio transcripts, or mixed media where output must preserve chronological idea flow, include concept explanation, and prompt user reflection.

Rapid Context Extractor

Normalize source mechanics with the script, then do semantic analysis in chat.

Quick Start

python3 Skills/rapid-context-extractor/scripts/prepare_payload.py \
  --seed-file "./Research/topic-frame.md" \
  --source-url "https://example.com/article" \
  --auto-semantic \
  --output "/home/.z/workspaces/<conversation-id>/extraction_packet.md"

Replace <conversation-id> with your active conversation workspace, or use any other writable output path.

Use one source input per run:

• --source-url for web pages
• --source-file for local docs/transcripts/subtitles
• --source-text for pasted text

Optional seed context:

• --seed-file or --seed-text

Optional semantic memory anchoring:

• --semantic-query to retrieve relevant prior concepts from your semantic memory
• --auto-semantic to generate semantic query from source title + extracted terms (recommended default)
• --semantic-limit (default 5) to control number of memory anchors
• --provenance to force frontmatter provenance (otherwise inferred from output path conversation ID)

Workflow

1. Prepare packet

• Run scripts/prepare_payload.py to produce a markdown packet containing seed context + chronological source chunks.
• For media files, require transcript sidecar or transcribe first.

2. Adopt analyst frame

• Read seed context first.
• State the frame in 1-2 lines before distillation.
• If missing background blocks understanding, perform targeted research before summarizing.

3. Distill in chronological order

• Produce bullet points in the order ideas appear in source.
• Avoid regrouping by theme if it breaks chronology.
• Keep claims faithful to the source.

4. Include image meaning

• If visuals exist, summarize what each visual contributes to the argument.
• Note if visuals reinforce, contradict, or extend text claims.

5. Integrate for learning

• Explain key terms, concepts, and implications in plain language.
• Connect key claims to Semantic Memory Anchors where relevant (agreements, tensions, extensions).
• Explicitly classify each integration claim as aligns, extends, or conflicts/tension.
• Ask clarifying questions that advance interpretation or decisions.

6. Force active engagement

• Ask for immediate reaction (1-3 lines acceptable).
• Ask for one agreement and one challenge.
• Offer optional ingestion: only ingest if user explicitly says yes.

Standard Output Shape

Use this structure in responses:

1. Analytical Frame
2. Chronological Distillation
3. Visual Layer (if applicable)
4. Semantic Integration (link to user- or project-specific anchors when available) : include explicit aligns / extends / conflicts labels
5. Concept Decoder
6. Clarifying Questions
7. Your Reaction (collect user response)
8. Optional Next Step (ingest yes/no)

Content Library Ingestion

Only after explicit approval, and only in workspaces that include the N5 ingestion helper:

python3 N5/scripts/content_ingest.py "<artifact_path>" --move

Confirm with: Ingested to Content Library as <type>.
