# [Source Title] — Applied to [Problem]

> One-paragraph executive summary: how the source maps to the situation,
> the key insight, the bottom line.

## The Core Parallel
How the source's central dynamic maps onto the user's situation.

## Chapter / Section Triage
For each major section of the source:
- 2-3 sentence summary of what it says
- Relevance to the problem: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
- One directly applicable quote (if any)

## The Source's Playbook
The author's framework, tactics, or strategies — organized as:
- What the protagonist DID (tactics)
- What WORKED and why
- What FAILED and why
- What OPPONENTS did that was effective

## Counter-Tactics
Specific moves from the source that map to the user's situation:
- What to DO (with source evidence)
- What to AVOID (with source evidence)
- What to WATCH FOR (warning signs from the source)

## Applied Playbook
The synthesis — actionable recommendations:
- **Short-term** (this week / this month)
- **Medium-term** (this quarter)
- **Long-term** (this year+)

## Key Quotes
Direct quotes from the source that are devastatingly relevant.
Maximum 5-10. Quality over quantity.

Phase 1: Ingest the source
  ├── EPUB: extract chapters via BeautifulSoup (see book-mirror SKILL.md
  │   for the extraction pipeline)
  ├── PDF: pdftotext -layout
  ├── Article: web_fetch
  └── Identify Table of Contents and total size.

Phase 2: Triage chapters
  ├── Read first 2000 chars of each chapter.
  ├── Classify relevance to the problem (HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW).
  └── HIGH chapters get full reads. MEDIUM partial. LOW skipped.

Phase 3: Deep read HIGH chapters
  ├── Tactics and strategies used.
  ├── Power dynamics and how they shifted.
  ├── Specific quotes that map to the problem.
  └── Moments where the protagonist's approach succeeded or failed.

Phase 4: Synthesize
  ├── Map source insights onto the specific problem.
  ├── Build the playbook (do / avoid / watch for).
  ├── Generate short/medium/long-term recommendations.
  └── Select the most devastating quotes.

Phase 5: Write and deliver
  ├── Write the brain page at the right location:
  │     • If problem-specific: projects/<slug>/playbook.md
  │     • If general strategy: concepts/<slug>.md
  ├── put_page via the standard CLI flow.
  └── Optional: render to PDF via skills/brain-pdf.
