# Reading Assignment Digest

Turns an assigned paper or chapter into something you can discuss in a seminar.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **Paste the reading** (longer free text)
- **e.g. political theory** (free text, e.g. "political theory")

## Prompt template

I have a seminar on this reading and limited time.

{{Paste the reading}}

Give me back: the author's core claim in two sentences, the evidence they lean on hardest, the assumption a critic would attack first, and three questions I could raise in discussion that show I actually read it. Field: {{e.g. political theory}}.
