--- name: book-deep-reader description: | Deep-read a book and produce teaching-quality notes with critical evaluation and action guidance. Use when: (1) user wants to quickly learn and understand a book's knowledge system, (2) user needs accurate extraction of a book's core ideas to teach others, (3) user provides book title/author/ISBN and asks for a structured reading guide or summary, (4) user wants to verify their understanding of a book against original sources, (5) user wants critical evaluation of a book's value and limitations, (6) user wants cross-disciplinary insights and actionable takeaways. Supports Chinese and English books. Outputs a comprehensive .md file with knowledge framework, chapter details, core principles, practical cases, teaching materials, AND critical evaluation with action plans. --- # Book Deep Reader Produce teaching-quality book notes: accurate on the original, structured for quick learning, detailed enough to explain to others. ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Identify the Book Given a book (title, author, ISBN, or URL), gather foundational info: 1. **Search for the book** using `mimo_web_search` — find Douban/Goodreads pages, publisher descriptions, table of contents, reviews 2. **Fetch key pages** using `web_fetch` — Douban book page (ISBN lookup), publisher pages, review articles 3. **Identify**: book structure (chapters), core framework/model, key cases, author's background 4. **For companion/sequel books**: also fetch the original book's wiki/summary to cross-reference (e.g., *Reinventing Organizations* Wiki for the practice guide) 5. **Identify the book's central question**: What problem is the author trying to solve? Why does it matter? ### Phase 2: Deep Research Gather rich source material from authoritative references: 1. **Official wiki/community sites** (if they exist) — e.g., reinventingorganizationswiki.com 2. **Detailed reviews and analysis articles** — not just "good book!" but substantive breakdowns 3. **Author's talks/interviews** — YouTube transcripts, keynote summaries 4. **Case study databases** — for books with organizational/practice cases 5. **Academic context research** — what predecessors have done on this topic 6. **Comparative analysis** — other books on the same topic with different viewpoints 7. **Critical reviews** — challenges, limitations, controversies Search strategy (use `mimo_web_search`): - `"<book title>" 目录 章节 内容` (for Chinese books) - `"<English title>" summary chapters key concepts` - `"author name" "<key concept>" detailed explanation` - `site:douban.com <ISBN>` or `site:goodreads.com <title>` - `"<book title>" 批评 局限性 争议` (for critical reviews) - `"<book title>" 对比 同类书籍 不同观点` (for comparative analysis) - `"<topic>" 研究进展 前人研究 学术脉络` (for academic context) Fetch at least 5-8 authoritative sources. Prioritize: - Table of contents and chapter structure - The book's own conceptual framework (models, diagrams, key distinctions) - Detailed case studies with data - Author's direct quotes and key formulations - Academic positioning and predecessor research - Critical reviews and challenges - Comparative analysis with similar books ### Phase 3: Knowledge Extraction (5-Layer Analysis) Extract knowledge through 5 layers, from surface to depth: **Layer 1 — Structure**: What is the book's architecture? - Chapter outline with one-line purpose per chapter - How chapters connect (sequential? parallel? recursive?) - Visual map of the book's flow **Layer 2 — Core Framework**: What is the book's central model/theory? - The 1-3 core concepts that everything else builds on - Key distinctions the author makes (e.g., X vs. Y) - The "before and after" transformation the book describes **Layer 3 — Chapter Details**: What does each chapter teach? - Core question the chapter answers - Key knowledge points (3-7 per chapter) - Practical cases with concrete data - Actionable insights ("how to do this") **Layer 4 — Depth Mechanisms**: Why do these ideas work? - Underlying assumptions (what must be true for this to work) - Causal logic (A leads to B because...) - Counter-arguments and how the author addresses them - Limitations and boundary conditions **Layer 5 — Teaching Materials**: How to explain this to someone else? - Core quotes / memorable formulations - Analogies and metaphors the author uses - Data/evidence for responding to skepticism - Common misunderstandings and corrections ### Phase 4: Cross-Reference and Verify Before writing the final output: 1. **Cross-check with original sources**: Every claim must trace back to an authoritative source (the book itself, the author's wiki, verified reviews) 2. **Flag uncertainty**: If a detail cannot be verified, note it as "based on secondary sources" or omit it 3. **Check for omissions**: Compare against the table of contents — are all chapters covered? 4. **Check for consistency**: Do the chapter-level details support the overall framework? Are there contradictions? ### Phase 5: Generate Output Write the output as a `.md` file in the workspace. Follow the structure in `references/output-template.md`. Key quality standards: - **Accuracy over creativity**: Never invent content. If unsure, search again or state the limitation - **Specific over general**: Include concrete examples, numbers, names, quotes — not just abstract descriptions - **Structured for skimming AND deep reading**: Headers, tables, and visual maps for quick scanning; detailed prose for deep understanding - **Teaching-ready**: Someone should be able to read this file and explain the book to others without having read the book itself ## Phase 6: Critical Evaluation (New) After completing the 5-layer knowledge extraction, conduct a critical evaluation: **1. Core Question Identification** - What is the author's central question/problem? - Why is this question important? **2. Academic Context Positioning** - What have predecessors achieved on this question? - Where does this book fit in the academic conversation? **3. Innovation Assessment** - What unique, new answers does the author provide? - What new evidence, cases, or data support these answers? **4. Comparative Analysis** - What different viewpoints exist from contemporary books on the same topic? - How does this book's approach differ? **5. Critical Review** - Has the book's conclusions been challenged? - What are its limitations and boundary conditions? **6. Future Directions** - What new problems and directions does the author propose? - What remains unresolved? **7. Cross-disciplinary Insights** - What启发 can practitioners from other fields draw? - How can these ideas be applied outside the book's domain? **8. Most Inspiring Story/Case** - Which single story or case is most memorable and impactful? - Why does it resonate? **9. Actionable Takeaway** - What is ONE action the reader should take after reading? - How to implement it immediately? ## Output File Save to workspace as `<book-short-name>-读书笔记.md` (Chinese) or `<book-short-name>-notes.md` (English). ## Quality Checklist Before finalizing, verify: - [ ] All chapters covered with key points - [ ] Core framework/model clearly articulated - [ ] At least 3 detailed case studies with data - [ ] Author's key quotes included - [ ] Common misconceptions addressed - [ ] Practical "how to start" guidance included - [ ] Sources cited (wiki, reviews, publisher pages) - [ ] No invented or unverified content - [ ] Can be used to teach the book without reading it - [ ] **Critical evaluation section completed** (all 9 questions answered) - [ ] **Actionable takeaway identified** with implementation steps - [ ] **Cross-disciplinary insights** clearly articulated
