description

Generates chapter-wise English summaries with source pointers and Eke romanisation files for DNS Bhat Kannada linguistics books in the ettuge repository. Use this skill whenever the user asks to: summarize a DNS Bhat book, create an English summary for a book in the dnsbhat folder, generate Eke transliteration of Kannada content, add chapter pointers to an -en.md file, create a claude-prompt for a DNS Bhat book, cross-link Kannada and English versions of a book, or produce a *-kn-eke.md romanisation file. Triggers on phrases like "summarize book NN", "create English summary", "generate Eke", "add chapter pointers", "create prompt for book", or any reference to producing -en.md / -kn-eke.md files for the DNS Bhat collection.

DNS Bhat Book Summarizer

You produce three kinds of output for DNS Bhat linguistics books in: /Users/vishwas/code/ettuge/src/main/md/kannada/dnsbhat/

1. {NN}-{slug}-kn.md — Structured Kannada source: paragraph breaks, TOC, <a id> anchors at each chapter/section. Created from the raw -book.md or -blog.md if not already present.
2. {NN}-{slug}-en.md — Chapter-wise English summary with cross-links to -kn.md anchors and Eke romanisation
3. {NN}-{slug}-kn-eke.md — Eke romanisation of the Kannada content, structured with the same section anchors as -kn.md

The -kn.md is the canonical readable version — it's what the English summary links into. The raw -book.md or -blog.md is the OCR archive and is not modified.

---

Step 1: Identify source material

Before writing anything, read the target book folder:

/Users/vishwas/code/ettuge/src/main/md/kannada/dnsbhat/{NN}-{slug}/

Check which files exist:

• README.md — folder-level README for GitHub browsing (create if absent; see README format below)
• *-book.md — full book text (highest quality, use first)
• *-blog.md — blog posts (use if no book.md)
• *-kn.md — structured Kannada (use for chapter structure)
• *-djvu.md — DjVu OCR (fallback, may be noisy)
• *-en.md — existing English summary (update if present, don't overwrite good content)
• *-kn-eke.md — existing Eke file (update if present)
• *-claude-prompt.md — AI prompt (separate from what we produce here)

README.md format (create if absent):

# [NN] — {Kannada title}
**{English title}**

> {One-sentence description of the book's argument and significance.}

**{✅ Fully processed / ⚠️ Partial / ❌ Not collected}** · {year} · {publisher} · {N} pages

## Where to Start

- **Don't read Kannada?** → [`{NN}-{slug}-en.md`](./{NN}-{slug}-en.md)
- **Want the phonetics?** → [`{NN}-{slug}-kn-eke.md`](./{NN}-{slug}-kn-eke.md)
- **AI context primer?** → [`{NN}-{slug}-claude-prompt.md`](./{NN}-{slug}-claude-prompt.md)
- **Full Kannada text?** → [`{NN}-{slug}-book.md`](./{NN}-{slug}-book.md)

---

[← Back to catalogue](../README.md)

Read the primary source file and *-kn.md if it exists (for chapter structure). For books with a *-claude-prompt.md, read it too — it has the chapter outline.

---

Step 2: Produce the structured Kannada file (*-kn.md) — if absent

If no -kn.md exists, create one from the raw -book.md or -blog.md. The -kn.md is the primary readable, linkable version — do not modify the raw source file.

Paragraph detection in -book.md OCR output:

• Paragraphs typically begin with a 4-space indent
• Lines are hard-wrapped at ~65 chars — a paragraph is multiple consecutive lines followed by a blank line or the next indented line
• Chapter headings are usually short standalone lines (often numbered or in all-caps Kannada)
• Section subheadings may have a number prefix (e.g., ೧., ೨.) or be formatted distinctively

-kn.md structure:

# {Kannada title}

**ಲೇಖಕರು:** ಡಿ. ಎನ್. ಶಂಕರ ಬಟ್
**ಪ್ರಕಟಣೆ:** {year}, {publisher}

> ಮೂಲ ಪಠ್ಯ: [`{NN}-{slug}-book.md`](./{NN}-{slug}-book.md)
> ಇಂಗ್ಲಿಶ್ ವಿಶ್ಲೇಷಣೆ: [`{NN}-{slug}-en.md`](./{NN}-{slug}-en.md)

## ಒಳಪಿಡಿ

- [ಅಧ್ಯಾಯ ೧ — {title}](#ch1)
  - [೧.೧ {section}](#sec-1-1)

---

<a id="ch1"></a>

# ಅಧ್ಯಾಯ ೧ — {title}
[↑ ಒಳಪಿಡಿಗೆ ಹಿಂತಿರುಗಿ](#ಒಳಪಿಡಿ)

---

<a id="sec-1-1"></a>

## ೧.೧ {section title}

{paragraph text with blank lines between paragraphs}

See book 08's -kn.md as the reference implementation.

---

CI-generated chapter pages (automatic — no action needed)

Once full.md (i.e. book/kn/full.md in the Phase-20 taxonomy) contains <a id="chN"> or <a id="adhyAya-N"> anchors, the GitHub CI chapter-splitter generates browsable per-chapter pages on every push:

• ch0.md — preamble + TOC with (#chN) links rewritten to page-relative chN links, plus a **Chapters:** Ch 1 · Ch 2 · ... bar at the bottom. If the preamble is > 1 500 chars the bar also appears at the very top.
• ch1.md … chN.md — one file per chapter; opens with > ← Ch N-1 · [Contents](ch0) · Ch N+1 → prev/next nav; if the chapter body is > 1 500 chars a full **Chapters:** Ch 1 · Ch 2 · ... quick-jump bar appears immediately below the nav.

You do not create these files — CI writes them. Your only job is to put the right anchors into full.md.

Minimum to trigger chapterization: ≥ 2 <a id="chN"> (or adhyAya-N) anchors in the body. Single-anchor files are skipped.

---

Step 3: Produce the Eke romanisation file (*-kn-eke.md)

The Eke file has:

• Same chapter/section structure as the Kannada source
• Section anchors (<a id="ch1"></a>, <a id="sec-1-1"></a>) matching the Kannada file
• A table of contents (ಒಳಪಿಡಿ in Eke: oLapiDi) with links to anchors
• Cross-links at the top to -kn.md and -en.md
• Key passages transliterated; summaries in Eke for long sections

Header format:

# {title in Eke}

**lEkhakaru:** Di. en. Sankara bhaT
**saraNi / Source:** {series if any}
**prakaTaNe / Published:** {year and publisher}

> mUla paThya (kannaDa lipi): [{NN}-{slug}-kn.md](./{NN}-{slug}-kn.md)
> ingliS viSlEShaNe: [{NN}-{slug}-en.md](./{NN}-{slug}-en.md)

---

## oLapiDi

- [adhyAya 1 — {chapter title in Eke}](#ch1)
  - [1.1 {section in Eke}](#sec-1-1)

For each section:

<a id="ch1"></a>

# adhyAya 1 — {title in Eke}
[↑ oLapiDige hintirugi](#oLapiDi)

---

<a id="sec-1-1"></a>

## 1.1 {section title in Eke}

{Eke transliteration of first 3-5 sentences of the section, or a meaningful excerpt}

For long chapters, transliterate the opening passage (establishes voice and key terms) plus any key definitions or examples.

---

Step 3: Produce the English summary file (*-en.md)

The English file has:

• A book overview paragraph (3–5 sentences)
• A table of contents with anchor links
• For each chapter/section: heading in English + Kannada title + cross-links + 3–6 bullet points
• A "Key Concepts" table (Kannada term → English meaning)
• A "Cross-references" section pointing to related DNS Bhat books

Header format:

# {Full English Title}
## {Subtitle or Translation of Kannada Title}

**Author:** D. N. Shankara Bhat (ಡಿ. ಎನ್. ಶಂಕರ ಬಟ್)
**Published:** {year}, {publisher}
**Language:** Kannada
**Source quality:** {Full text / Blog posts (N parts) / Partial transcript}

---

## Book Overview

{3-5 sentence overview of the book's central argument and significance}

---

## Table of Contents

- [Chapter 1 — {English Title} ({Kannada Title})](#ch1)
  - [1.1 {Section English title}](#sec-1-1)

For each section:

## Chapter 1 — {English Title}

*({Kannada title})*

### 1.1 {English section title}

[ಕನ್ನಡ →](./{NN}-{slug}-kn.md#sec-1-1) | [Eke →](./{NN}-{slug}-kn-eke.md#sec-1-1)

- Bullet 1: what this section establishes or argues
- Bullet 2: key evidence or examples used
- Bullet 3: connection to the book's central thesis
- Bullet 4 (if needed): objections considered or counter-arguments

For blog-based books (like Books 02 and 18), use the blog post title as the "chapter" and link to the blog file:

### Part 4 — {English title of blog post}

[Blog (ಕನ್ನಡ) →](./{NN}-{slug}-blog.md#{anchor}) | [Eke →](./{NN}-{slug}-kn-eke.md#{anchor})

Eke Romanisation Rules

Eke is a romanisation system designed by Vishwas, inspired by Hosabaraha and Harvard-Kyoto (HK). Use Eke(ek) mode (ellara kannaDa — simplified, no aspirates).

Vowels

Kannada	Eke		Kannada	Eke
ಅ	a		ಆ	A
ಇ	i		ಈ	I
ಉ	u		ಊ	U
ಎ	e		ಏ	E
ಒ	o		ಓ	O
ಐ	ay		ಔ	av
ಋ / ೃ (vocalic r, short)	x		ೠ / ೄ (vocalic r, long)	X
ಂ (anusvara)	nasal+C (always assimilated — never M; see Anusvara section below)		ಃ visarga	H

Consonants — case rule: uppercase = retroflex or special

Kannada	Eke		Kannada	Eke
ಕ	k		ಗ	g
ಚ	c		ಜ	j
ಟ	T		ಡ	D
ತ	t		ದ	d
ಪ	p		ಬ	b
ಮ	m		ನ	n
ಣ	N		ಯ	y
ರ	r (always lowercase — R is exclusively ಱ, never ರ)		ಲ	l
ಳ	L		ವ	v
ಱ	R (archaic retroflex ṟ — extremely rare in modern Kannada)
ಸ	s		ಶ	S
ಹ	h		ಷ	S (same as ಶ in EK)

Aspirates (mahapranas) — preserved in Eke(ek)

ಖ→kh, ಘ→gh, ಛ→ch, ಝ→jh, ಠ→Th, ಢ→Dh, ಥ→th, ಧ→dh, ಫ→ph, ಭ→bh

Anusvara before plosives — write as nasal+plosive

ಂಕ→nka, ಂಗ→nga, ಂಚ→nca, ಂಜ→nja, ಂಟ→nTa, ಂಡ→nDa, ಂತ→nta, ಂದ→nda, ಂಪ→mpa, ಂಬ→mba

Inherent vowel

Every consonant has inherent a. Virama ್ suppresses it in clusters. ಕ = ka, ಕ್ = k (in cluster), ಕ್ಕ = kka

Common word examples

Kannada	Eke
ಕನ್ನಡ	kannaDa
ನುಡಿ	nuDi
ಬರಹ	baraha
ಹೆಸರು	hesaru
ಎಸಕ	esaka
ಅರಿಮೆ	arime
ಮುನ್ನೋಟ	munnOTa
ಇಣುಕುನೋಟ	iNukunOTa
ಪದ	pada
ಸೊಲ್ಲರಿಮೆ	sollarime
ಮಾತು	mAtu
ಉಲಿ	uli
ಒಳರಚನೆ	oLaracane
ಹೊಸ	hosa
ಕಟ್ಟುವ	kaTTuva
ಮೇಲರಿಮೆ	mElarime
ಕೀಳರಿಮೆ	kILarime

Quality notes

Source quality matters — note it clearly in the English file header:

• *-book.md from archive.org: high quality, full text → produce complete section-by-section summary
• *-blog.md from Wayback Machine: good quality, part-by-part → produce per-post summary
• YouTube transcripts: variable quality, may be garbled → note limitations, summarize available content
• DjVu OCR: often has OCR errors — note this, cross-check with other sources

For partial content (missing blog parts, corrupted transcripts):

• Note what's missing in the overview
• Don't invent content — only summarize what's actually in the source files
• Use "⚠️ Parts X–Y not available" as section placeholders

---

Cross-reference footer (always include in -en.md)

At the end of every English summary, add a cross-reference table:

---

## Cross-References to Other DNS Bhat Works

| Related Book | Connection |
|---|---|
| [08 — Kannadakke Mahaprana Yake Beda](../08-kannadakke-mahaprana-yake-beda/) | {how it relates} |
| [14 — Nijakku Halegannada Vyakarana](../14-nijakku-halegannada-vyakarana-entahadu/) | {how it relates} |

See references/book-cross-references.md for the full thematic index to populate this table.

---

File naming conventions

File	Naming
Folder README	README.md
English summary	{NN}-{slug}-en.md
Eke romanisation	{NN}-{slug}-kn-eke.md
Kannada structured	{NN}-{slug}-kn.md
Blog content	{NN}-{slug}-blog.md
Book full text	{NN}-{slug}-book.md
AI prompt	{NN}-{slug}-claude-prompt.md

Where {NN} is the zero-padded book number and {slug} is the folder name without the number prefix.
