The SRT files are autogenerated with Whisper, so if there is a note file use it to improve name.

Reusable Prompt for SRT File Summaries

Please analyze the *.srt file in this directory and create 2 summary files:

  1. 01-short-summary.md - Quick reference summary

    • Brief overview of main topic
    • Key framework/concepts (4-5 bullet points max per section)
    • Main problems addressed
    • What was implemented/done
    • Top 5-7 lessons learned (with emoji indicators ✅ ⚠️)
    • Impact/results in 2-3 bullets
    • Bottom line takeaway
    • Resources links
    • Target length: Quick scan
  2. 02-summary-with-timestamps.md - Timeline-based summary with exact timestamps

    • Include video duration from SRT file
    • Create timeline with timestamp ranges [HH:MM:SS - HH:MM:SS]
    • Organize by chronological sections (Introduction, Main Talk, Q&A)
    • For each timestamp section:
      • Topic/section title
      • Key points covered (bullet points)
    • Include separate section for Q&A with individual question timestamps
    • Add "Key Quotes" section at end with quotes and their timestamps
    • Make it easy to jump to specific parts of video
    • Target length: Detailed timeline

Formatting Guidelines:

  • Use markdown headers (##, ###, ####) for structure
  • Use bullet points, numbered lists, and tables where appropriate
  • Include emojis sparingly for visual markers (✅ ❌ ⚠️ 📊)
  • Use bold for emphasis on key terms
  • Use > blockquotes for important quotes
  • Use horizontal rules (---) to separate major sections
  • Include metadata at top (event, speaker, duration)

File Naming:

  • Must be exactly: 01-short-summary.md, 02-summary-with-timestamps.md
  • Save all files in the root directory (not subdirectories)

Tips for Best Results

  1. For Short Summary: Prioritize actionable insights and quick scanning
  2. For Timestamp Summary: Make it easy to navigate video by topic
  3. All Summaries: Extract the narrative flow (problem → solution → results)
  4. Be Specific: Include names, numbers, examples mentioned in talk
  5. Context Matters: Note if speaker is sharing personal experience vs. theory
  6. Capture Nuance: Include caveats, debates, and different perspectives from Q&A

Quality Checklist

  • All 2 files created with correct names
  • Metadata included (event, speaker, duration)
  • Main framework/topic clearly explained
  • Problems and solutions identified
  • Implementation examples included
  • Lessons learned captured
  • Q&A highlights summarized
  • Resources and links extracted
  • Timestamps accurate (for file #2)
  • Markdown formatting clean and consistent
  • Files saved in root directory
