Extracting Methodology From Video

Given raw transcript text, extract the methodology in 4 passes: (1) identify the domain expertise and core claim, (2) pull out the repeatable steps, (3) pull out concrete examples/numbers/phrases used verbatim, (4) package into skill format.

Input transcript snippet:
"...so what I do every time I write a subject line is I write 10 versions,
then I kill any that are over 50 characters, then I read the remaining
ones out loud and pick the one that sounds like a text message from
a friend, not an ad. Last week I did this for a client and open rate
went from 12% to 34%..."

Extraction:
- Domain: email subject line writing
- Step 1: Write 10 variants
- Step 2: Cut any over 50 characters
- Step 3: Read aloud, pick the one that sounds like a text from a friend
- Concrete example: 12% → 34% open rate improvement
- Verbatim phrase to preserve: "sounds like a text message from a friend, not an ad"

Progress:

• Step 1: Confirm input type — full transcript, timestamped notes, or summary (if only a URL/title is given, ask for transcript text; do not guess content)
• Step 2: Skim for the core claim — what specific outcome does the speaker achieve, and for whom?
• Step 3: Highlight every imperative sentence ("I always...", "first you...", "the key is to...") — these are workflow steps
• Step 4: Highlight every number, name, tool, or before/after result mentioned — these become examples
• Step 5: Highlight verbatim phrases the speaker repeats or emphasizes — reuse their exact language in the skill (it signals real expertise, not generic advice)
• Step 6: Order the steps chronologically into a workflow; merge duplicates; drop tangents/filler/stories that don't add process
• Step 7: Write 2+ Example blocks using the actual numbers/scenarios from the transcript (never invent placeholder examples if real ones exist in the source)
• Step 8: Draft YAML frontmatter: gerund name matching the domain, third-person description with trigger phrase
• Step 9: Add Best Practices (things speaker says to always do) and Common Pitfalls (things speaker warns against or says "most people get wrong")
• Step 10: Re-read transcript once more specifically hunting for anything contradicting your draft — revise

Example 1: Input (transcript excerpt):

"People mess up cold outreach because they open with 'Hope you're doing well.' Nobody cares. Instead, open with a specific observation about their work — something you had to actually look at their LinkedIn or website to know. Then one sentence on why you're reaching out. Then a question, not a pitch. I send maybe 40 a week and get 8-10 replies doing this."

Output (extracted skill fragment):

Markdown
undefined

Progress:

• Step 1: Research a specific, verifiable detail about the recipient (LinkedIn/website)
• Step 2: Open with that observation, not a greeting
• Step 3: State reason for reaching out in one sentence
• Step 4: End with a question, never a pitch

Example 1: Input: Cold outreach to a prospect Output: 40 emails/week sent → 8-10 replies (20-25% reply rate)
