Content Analysis

Turn source material into a structured explanation of what it says, how it supports its claims, what follows from it, and where uncertainty remains.

Runtime Compatibility

• Resolve local files from the current workspace or this skill directory.
• Use tools available in the active runtime to fetch, transcribe, or inspect the source.
• Verify that extraction or transcription is usable before analyzing details.
• If access is incomplete, describe the exact boundary of the analysis.

Select The Analysis Lens

Choose only the lenses that serve the request:

• Argument: claims, reasons, evidence, and conclusion.
• Editorial: structure, clarity, pacing, framing, and audience fit.
• Research: method, evidence quality, limits, and competing explanations.
• Practical: decisions, habits, procedures, and applications.
• Comparative: agreement, conflict, and differences in assumptions.
• Media: speaker roles, sequence, emphasis, and transcript reliability.

Workflow

1. Identify the source

   • Record title, creator, date, format, and available sections when known.
   • Distinguish original material from commentary, reposts, and excerpts.

2. Check completeness

   • For video or audio, confirm transcript coverage and speaker labels.
   • For documents, check page or section coverage.
   • For web material, note paywalls, dynamic content, or missing attachments.

3. Map the content

   • State the central question or purpose.
   • Break the material into major claims, themes, or stages.
   • Attach supporting evidence to the claim it is meant to support.

4. Evaluate

   • Test whether evidence actually supports the conclusion.
   • Identify assumptions, omitted alternatives, contradictions, and ambiguity.
   • Separate source statements from your own inference.

5. Extract value

   • Rank the strongest insights.
   • Convert applicable ideas into concrete actions or questions.
   • Preserve important limits and conditions.
