Workflow

1. Content Ingestion

When given a URL:

1. Use readwebpage to fetch the content
2. For YouTube videos, extract video ID and use transcript if available
3. Identify the content type: tutorial, explanation, demo, or reference

2. Content Analysis

Extract and organize:

• Goal: What will you be able to do after completing this?
• Prerequisites: Required knowledge, tools, accounts, or setup
• Key concepts: Core ideas explained simply (ELI5 where helpful)
• Time estimate: Realistic time to complete hands-on

3. Step-by-Step Guide Generation

Create instructions following this structure:

# [Topic Title]

## 🎯 Goal
One-sentence outcome statement.

4. Screenshots and Visuals

When processing video content or when visuals are critical:

1. Note timestamps where key UI/visuals appear
2. Describe what the screenshot should capture
3. If user provides screenshots, use look_at to analyze and reference them

For web content:

1. Identify diagrams or UI elements worth capturing
2. Describe or link to relevant visual assets

Output Guidelines

• Be actionable: Every step should be something the user can DO
• Be specific: Include exact commands, button names, menu paths
• Be sequential: Order matters—dependencies first
• Be concise: Cut fluff, keep only what helps learning
• Be practical: Focus on "how" over "why" (unless understanding is crucial)

Example Usage

User provides: "Summarize this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=...";

Response structure:

1. Acknowledge the content type
2. Fetch/analyze the content
3. Generate the structured guide
4. Offer to save as a markdown file in the repo

Integration with Learn In Public

When appropriate, offer to:

• Save the guide to weeks/YYYY/week-XX/ as a detailed post
