Readwise Reader Custom Summary: A Game Changer! (and how to set your prompt)
B
👋Hi there! I'm Bear, a designer who lives and works in Auckland, NZ with my daughter and wife. I do podcasts, blogging and videos between my work and family hours.

With just one click, I can get the essence of any videos, newsletters, or articles in my native language. I'm using a customized ReadWise summary prompt. I will show you why and how to do that in this video.

Inspired by:

My Prompt

重要提示:如果原文有作者名和来源信息,请在总结时,直接使用作者名和来源的信息进行概要,而不要使用“作者”代称。例如:“Tim Ferriss在播客“Tim Ferriss Show 203”中,分享了3个关于……”
关于中文的排版原则:请根据语义,分出相应的自然段。 

请根据以下步骤,请以简体中文对文档进行整理、重构、要点提炼:

第一步:整理与重构

仔细阅读全文,理解文章的主旨、脉络和议题  
将文章内容按主题进行归类,形成层次分明、逻辑清晰的结构  
对归类后的各部分内容进行语言润色,使行文更加通顺、简洁  
尽可能保留原文的所有关键信息、数据和细节,力求做到信息零损失  
在各部分内容前加入恰当的标题,便于读者快速索引与定位

第二步:要点提炼

在整理重构的基础上,提炼出3-5个核心要点  
每个要点由一个主要论点和2-3个支撑性论据组成  
论据应来自于原文,能够有力佐证论点,起到画龙点睛之效  
要点应全面涵盖文章的核心论题,彰显文章的主旨和价值  
要点表述应简明扼要,避免冗长累赘,突出重点、一语中的

第三步:提取资源

找出文章中提及的工具、人物、书籍、文章或是其他涉及的资源  

对每个资源给出200字内的简要阐释,点明其独到之处  
提供资源的链接


另外,在阅读此文章时,我对以下部分进行了高亮,认为这些是文章的重点,给你学习参考: 

{% for highlight in document.highlights %} - {{ highlight.content }} {% endfor %} 

{#- 下面的 if-else 逻辑检查文档的长度。如果文档较长,它将使用关键句子以避免超出 GPT 提示窗口的限制。我们强烈建议除非您知道自己在做什么,否则不要更改此设置。-#}

 {% if (document.content | count_tokens) > 2000 %}
 {{ document.content | central_sentences | join('\n\n') }} 
{% else %} 
{{ document.content }} 
{% endif %}

基本格式:

""" 
标题:{{ document.title }} 
作者:{{ document.author }} 
来源:{{ document.domain }} 

概要:
核心要点:
资源:
 """ 

输出格式要求:

正文部分,以"概要"为标题  
要点提炼部分,以"核心要点"为标题,各要点用"要点1""要点2"等加以标示  
资源部分,以“资源”为标题
各部分之间用markdown语法分割,确保层次清晰、美观大方

其他要求:

输出内容需包含以上三部分,并按照"输出格式要求"指定的顺序排列  

在正式输出之前,请对整个回答再通读一遍,检查是否有任何错别字、标点误用或者语病等,力求做到完美无瑕  
在输出内容之后,请给出对于文中提到的内容,你的下一步行动建议。简洁说明2-3个行动即可。

Hey Bear, the tweet link seems to be not correct. You may want to check it again.

I translated it into English:

Important Note: If the original text includes the author's name and source information, please directly use this information in the summary instead of referring to them as "the author." For example, "In podcast episode 203 of 'The Tim Ferriss Show,' Tim Ferriss shares three tips about…"

Step 1: Organization and Restructuring

  1. Read the entire text carefully to understand the main theme, context, and topics.
  2. Classify the content by theme to create a clear, logically structured hierarchy.
  3. Refine the language of each categorized part to make the narrative smoother and more concise.
  4. Preserve all key information, data, and details from the original text to ensure no loss of information.
  5. Add appropriate headings to each part to facilitate quick indexing and location for the reader.

Step 2: Key Point Extraction

  1. Based on the organization and restructuring, extract 3-5 core points.
  2. Each point should consist of a main argument and 2-3 supporting arguments.
  3. Supporting arguments should come from the original text and robustly support the main argument, enhancing the overall impact.
  4. Points should comprehensively cover the core topics of the article, highlighting its theme and value.
  5. Points should be expressed concisely, avoiding redundancy and emphasizing the essentials.

Step 3: Resource Extraction

  1. Identify tools, people, books, articles, or other resources mentioned in the article.
  2. Provide a brief explanation of up to 200 words for each resource, highlighting its unique aspects.
  3. Provide links to the resources.

Additionally, during the reading of this article, I highlighted the following parts, considering them key points for your learning and reference:

{% for highlight in document.highlights %} - {{ highlight.content }} {% endfor %}

{#- The if-else logic below checks the length of the document. If the document is long, it uses key sentences to avoid exceeding the limit of the GPT prompt window. It is strongly advised not to change this setting unless you know what you are doing. -#}

{% if (document.content | count_tokens) > 2000 %} {{ document.content | central_sentences | join('\n\n') }} {% else %} {{ document.content }} {% endif %}

Basic Format:

""" Title: {{ document.title }} Author: {{ document.author }} Source: {{ document.domain }}

Summary: Key Points: Resources: """

Output Format Requirements:

  1. The main body, titled "Summary."
  2. Key points extraction, titled "Key Points," with each point marked as "Point 1," "Point 2," etc.
  3. Resources section, titled "Resources."
  4. Each section should be separated using markdown syntax to ensure clarity and elegance.

Other Requirements:

  1. The output content must include the above three sections, arranged in the order specified by the "Output Format Requirements."
  2. Before finalizing the output, thoroughly review the entire answer to check for any typos, punctuation errors, or grammatical issues, aiming for perfection.
  3. After delivering the content, provide 2-3 concise next-step action recommendations based on the content mentioned in the text.

It seems the comment section lost the formatting. But anyways if anyone wants to copy and properly reformat it here it is.
