ExtractWisdom

How This Skill Approaches It

ExtractWisdom reads the content first and figures out what wisdom domains are actually present before deciding on sections. A programming interview gets 'Developer Workflow' and 'Architecture Philosophy'. A business podcast gets 'Contrarian Business Takes' and 'Money Philosophy'. The section names are headlines, not categories — designed to make you curious, not to file things away. Five depth levels let you choose the right tradeoff: Instant gives one killer section, Comprehensive goes 10-15 sections with a Themes and Connections synthesis at the end. All bullets follow strict voice rules — written like you'd say it to a friend over coffee, not like a compressed tweet. YouTube content gets pulled via fabric -y for the transcript; articles come in via WebFetch. The Extract workflow applies the content-scan, section-selection, and extraction phases in sequence, then closes with a One-Sentence Takeaway, a 2-minute summary, and a references list.

In Action

What you say to your DA, and what the ExtractWisdom skill actually does.

• You say "extract wisdom from this andrej karpathy interview"
  → Runs Extract: fetches the YouTube transcript via fabric -y, scans for wisdom domains present in the conversation, builds custom sections like 'How He Thinks About Learning' and 'What AI Actually Changes', applies Level 3 conversational voice rules throughout, and closes with a One-Sentence Takeaway and 2-minute summary.
• You say "extract wisdom from this article at comprehensive depth"
  → Runs Extract at Comprehensive level: fetches the article via WebFetch, identifies 10-15 wisdom domains, generates full sections with 8-15 bullets each, and adds a Themes and Connections section that surfaces the deeper patterns connecting everything — the throughlines the author may not have realized they were revealing.

Inside the Skill

The thinking, frameworks, and architecture that distinguish this skill from a generic version of the same task.

User: "extract wisdom from this Marcus Hutchins interview"
→ Extract intent; transcript from `fabric -y URL`
→ Sections named for this interview, then the closing sections for Full

User: "extract the key insights from this blog post"
→ Raw HTML fetched and its body extracted in full (never WebFetch, which returns a summary)
→ Sections adapted to the article, with source attribution
