--- name: aibrary-reading-list description: "[Aibrary] Generate a curated, themed reading list with multiple books organized in a logical reading order. Use when the user wants a systematic book list on a topic, asks for a book list or reading list, wants to deeply explore a domain through multiple books, or needs to build expertise in an area. Different from aibrary-book-recommend (single book) and aibrary-book-search (finding specific books)." --- # Reading List — Aibrary Curated, themed reading lists that build expertise systematically. Powered by Aibrary's knowledge curation methodology. ## Input The user specifies: - **Theme/domain** — the area they want to explore (required) - **Difficulty preference** — beginner, intermediate, advanced, or mixed (optional, default: mixed) - **Number of books** — how many they want (optional, default: 7-10) - **Constraints** — time period, language, specific focus within the domain (optional) ## Workflow 1. **Define the scope**: Clarify what the theme covers and what's out of scope. If the theme is too broad, suggest 2-3 focused sub-themes for the user to choose from. 2. **Select books**: Choose books that collectively cover the theme comprehensively: - Include foundational works that establish core concepts - Include modern works that reflect current thinking - Include contrasting perspectives to encourage critical thinking - Ensure no significant aspect of the theme is left uncovered 3. **Organize the reading order**: Arrange books in a logical progression: - **Foundation first**: Conceptual and introductory works - **Build depth**: More specialized and advanced works - **Synthesize**: Works that connect ideas across the theme - Mark books as "Essential" (must-read) or "Recommended" (nice to have) 4. **Add connective tissue**: Explain how each book connects to the next and what the reader gains at each stage. 5. **Respond in the user's language**: Match the language of the user's input. ## Output Format ``` # Reading List: [Theme Name] [1-2 sentence overview of what this reading list covers and who it's for] **Total books**: [Count] | **Estimated total reading time**: [Hours] | **Difficulty**: [Level range] --- ## Stage 1: Foundation *[What the reader gains from this stage]* ### 1. [Book Title] ⭐ Essential **Author**: [Name] | **Year**: [Year] [One sentence on what this book contributes to the theme] ### 2. [Book Title] **Author**: [Name] | **Year**: [Year] [One sentence on what this book contributes to the theme] **Stage 1 → Stage 2 bridge**: [How the foundation prepares the reader for deeper exploration] --- ## Stage 2: Depth *[What the reader gains from this stage]* ### 3. [Book Title] ⭐ Essential ... --- ## Stage 3: Synthesis *[What the reader gains from this stage]* ... --- ## Quick-Start Option *If you only have time for 3 books, read these*: 1. [Book] — [Why] 2. [Book] — [Why] 3. [Book] — [Why] ``` ### Example Output **User input**: "Give me a reading list about systems thinking" --- # Reading List: Systems Thinking A progressive journey from understanding systems basics to applying systems thinking in complex real-world scenarios. Ideal for leaders, engineers, and anyone who wants to see the bigger picture. **Total books**: 8 | **Estimated total reading time**: ~50 hours | **Difficulty**: Beginner → Advanced --- ## Stage 1: Foundation *Build your mental models for understanding systems* ### 1. Thinking in Systems ⭐ Essential **Author**: Donella Meadows | **Year**: 2008 The definitive introduction to systems thinking — clear, accessible, and surprisingly practical for a book about feedback loops. ### 2. The Fifth Discipline **Author**: Peter Senge | **Year**: 2006 (revised) Bridges systems thinking into organizational learning — essential for applying systems ideas in team and business contexts. **Stage 1 → Stage 2 bridge**: With the fundamentals in place, you're ready to see how systems thinking applies to specific domains and complex challenges. --- ## Quick-Start Option *If you only have time for 3 books, read these*: 1. **Thinking in Systems** — The essential foundation 2. **The Fifth Discipline** — Systems thinking in practice 3. **Seeing the Forest for the Trees** — Visual systems mapping --- ## Guidelines - A reading list tells a story — books should build on each other, not just be a collection - Always include a "Quick-Start Option" for time-constrained readers - Mark essential vs. recommended books clearly - Include bridge explanations between stages - Balance classics with modern works - If the theme is too broad, proactively narrow it or offer sub-theme options
