Reading notes framework

Study Last updated:

Structured book notes along theme, chapters, arguments, quotes, and actions.

How to use

  1. Fill in the central theme first, then replace the placeholder branches with real chapters.
  2. Keep page numbers with quotes so you can check the original.
  3. Run Key points in the AI assistant after finishing (a one-page result is not guaranteed).
