Reading Workflow — Daily Reading Workflow

Skill Overview

Reading Workflow is an intelligent daily reading management tool that guides you through each item in your reading list, provides contextual connections, supports quick browsing or deep analysis, prompts you to record your thoughts, and automatically summarizes materials for creation.

Use Cases

1. Build a Daily Reading Habit

Set a fixed time each day to start reading. The system automatically loads today’s reading list, shows required and recommended content, and guides you to complete reading tasks by priority. It also supports resuming after interruptions, helping you maintain a long-term reading habit.

2. Extract Creative Materials from Reading

As you read, record your personal thoughts. The system automatically identifies quotable lines and core viewpoints. After you finish reading, it compiles them into a structured list of materials that can be directly passed to a content synthesis tool to generate tweets or blog posts.

3. Deeply Analyze a Large Batch of Articles

When you have an accumulated reading list, it supports three modes: quick browsing (2 minutes), standard reading (5–10 minutes), or deep analysis (15–20 minutes). Choose flexibly based on your time budget to efficiently handle a large amount of content.

Core Features

Guided Reading for Each Item

For every article, it provides reading context, including the core theme, recommended reasons, related readings, and reading suggestions. After fetching the article content, it supports three modes: quick browsing, standard reading, or invoking deep-reading for deep analysis.

Intelligent Thought Prompts

Automatically adapts guiding questions based on the article type: viewpoint articles explore assumptions and stances, technical articles focus on trade-offs and application, and trend articles consider your direction for action. You can record while reading and mark creative inspiration.

Automatic Materials Compilation

After you finish reading, it automatically generates today’s materials list, including tweet ideas, blog materials, quotable lines worth sharing, and key takeaways. It saves them in structured form as materials.md, ready to be passed directly to content-synthesizer for content creation.

Common Questions

What is Reading Workflow? How do I use it?

Reading Workflow is a Claude AI skill that helps you manage your daily reading flow. To use it, say “start reading” or “today’s reading.” The system will automatically load your reading list (from daily-content-curator or articles you provide directly), then guide you to read, think, and record each item step by step.

Who is Reading Workflow suitable for?

It’s suitable for users who need to handle large volumes of reading content, including content creators, knowledge workers, bloggers, writers, product managers, and more—especially those who want to turn reading into creative materials and build a systematic reading habit.

What content sources does Reading Workflow support?

It supports multiple content sources: BestBlogs articles (via bestblogs-fetcher), any webpage URLs (via Jina Reader), tweets, or article text you paste directly. It prioritizes the output from daily-content-curator as the reading list.

Where are my reading notes saved?

Reading notes are saved to the contents/reading-notes/YYYY-MM-DD/ directory, including complete notes (notes.md) and a materials list (materials.md). The materials list uses a structured format and can be passed directly to content-synthesizer for content creation.

What’s the difference between deep analysis and quick browsing?

Quick browsing shows a summary + core viewpoints + key data, completed in about 2 minutes. Standard reading shows the full text + structured key points, in about 5–10 minutes. Deep analysis invokes the deep-reading skill for comprehensive analysis, taking about 15–20 minutes by default. Required articles use standard reading, recommended articles use quick browsing, and you can also switch manually.

How do I continue reading after interruption?

Say “continue reading” to resume from your last reading progress. The system reads the status markers in notes.md ([DONE], [SKIP], [LATER], [PENDING]) and continues from the first unfinished article.
