# Output patterns

Read only the section relevant to the user's requested deliverable. Adapt depth and formatting to the request rather than forcing a fixed template.

## Concise summary

- One-sentence thesis
- Three to seven key points with timestamps
- Important qualification or limitation, if present
- Short takeaway

## Detailed notes or study guide

- Topic and speaker's objective
- Timestamped sections or chapters
- Key concepts and explanations
- Examples or evidence used by the speaker
- Terms, names, and definitions
- Open questions, caveats, or disputed claims

## Targeted question

Lead with the direct answer. Then provide the strongest supporting passage as a careful paraphrase or short reliable quote, its timestamp, and any context that changes the interpretation.

## Chapter outline

Infer chapter boundaries from clear topic transitions. Give each chapter a descriptive title and starting timestamp. Do not invent precision when the transition is gradual; use approximate language when needed.

## Fact-check

For each material claim:

1. State what the speaker claims and where.
2. Separate factual content from opinion or prediction.
3. Verify against independent, authoritative sources.
4. Rate the claim with calibrated language such as supported, misleading, unsupported, or uncertain.
5. Explain the evidence and any important nuance.

## Multiple-video comparison

Keep a provenance label for every note. Compare the videos on shared dimensions such as thesis, evidence, assumptions, recommendations, and disagreements. Include timestamps from each source and never merge speakers' claims.

## Quotations

Use short excerpts only when exact wording adds value and caption quality is sufficient. Otherwise paraphrase. Never silently clean up a quote beyond obvious punctuation; if wording is uncertain, say so.
