Create a Reusable Article Summarization Framework for Faster Reading

Act as a research analyst and information synthesis expert. Build me a reusable article summarization framework I can apply to any long-form article, report, or blog post to extract maximum value in minimum time. Here is my context: - **Types of articles I read most:** [e.g., industry reports, technical blogs, research papers, business strategy pieces] - **My primary purpose for reading:** [e.g., staying current, decision-making, content creation, professional development] - **How I use summaries afterward:** [e.g., share with team, feed into projects, personal reference, social media posts] - **Average articles I need to process per week:** [NUMBER] Please deliver: 1. **The EXTRACT Framework** — Design a 6-step summarization method with a memorable acronym. Each step should include: - What to do (specific action) - What to look for (concrete cues in the text) - How long it should take for a typical 2,000-word article - An example output sentence 2. **Summary Template** — Create a fill-in-the-blank template with these sections: - One-sentence thesis (complete the sentence: "This article argues that...") - 3 Key Claims (with supporting evidence noted) - So What? (why this matters to me specifically) - Action Items (what I should do differently based on this) - Confidence Rating (1-5: how well-supported are the claims?) - Connection Map (how this relates to 1-2 things I already know) 3. **Speed Tiers** — Define three processing levels: - **Skim (2 min):** What to read and what to skip - **Standard (8 min):** Full framework application - **Deep (20 min):** When and how to do critical analysis Provide decision criteria for choosing the right tier. 4. **Batch Processing Workflow** — Design a weekly reading session structure for processing [NUMBER] articles in a single focused sitting, including warm-up, processing, and synthesis phases. 5. **Prompt Template for AI-Assisted Summarization** — Write a ready-to-use prompt I can paste alongside any article to get an AI to summarize it following my exact framework. Make the framework tool-agnostic and executable with just pen and paper if needed.
