Generic Content Analysis

Analyze any text content and generate a structured report.

When to Use

Activate this skill when the user:

• Wants to analyze content that isn't a YouTube transcript, web article, or arXiv paper
• Mentions "notes", "meeting notes", "email", "document", "book", "chapter"
• Has a text file they want analyzed but doesn't specify a category
• Asks for generic analysis of some content

Instructions

1. Get the file path - Ask the user for the file path if not provided
2. Read the content file at the path provided
3. If file not found:
   • Inform user: "File not found at [path]"
   • Suggest checking the path
   • Stop here
4. Ask the user for:
   • A title for this content
   • Category: video, article, paper, or other
5. Read the appropriate analysis prompt:
   • If video: prompts/yt.md
   • If article: prompts/article.md
   • If paper: prompts/paper.md
   • If other: prompts/default.md
6. Generate analysis following the prompt structure exactly
7. Save the report to reports/{category}/YYYY-MM-DD_sanitized-title.md where:
   • {category} is youtube, articles, papers, or other
   • YYYY-MM-DD is today's date
   • sanitized-title is the title in lowercase, spaces replaced with hyphens, special chars removed
8. Update the activity log at logs/YYYY-MM-DD.md:
   • Create file if it doesn't exist
   • Add entry under appropriate section based on category
   • Format: - [Title](../reports/{category}/filename.md) - HH:MM
9. Confirm to user what was saved and where
