ExtractWisdom — Dynamic Content Extraction

What It Does

Pulls the best ideas out of videos, podcasts, interviews, and articles. It reads the content first, detects what kinds of wisdom are actually in there, then builds custom sections around what it finds instead of forcing the same headers every time. Five depth levels from Instant to Comprehensive. Output always ends with a one-sentence takeaway, an "If You Only Have 2 Minutes" list, and references worth following.

The Problem

Static extraction templates force every piece of content into the same boxes — IDEAS, QUOTES, HABITS, FACTS — so a security talk and a business podcast come out looking identical and the real gems get flattened into generic bullets. The output reads like a book report, not like a smart friend telling you the parts that made them stop. This skill adapts its sections to the content and writes the points the way you'd actually say them out loud, so the contrarian takes and first-time revelations survive instead of getting watered down.
