学術論文と長期文書の厳格で詳細保存の要約のためのクロードスキル。

Lin (2025)、Nature Biotechnology で記述されている FOCUS ワークフローから適応しました。 メソッドは、ドキュメント、セクションごとにセクション、特定の詳細と自然に埋め込まれた直接引用からすべての重要なポイントを抽出し、上部の概要でクリーンな最終出力を作成します。

それが何をするか

ほとんどのAI-generatedの要約は、読み価値のある紙を作る詳細を失う:効果サイズ、方法名、正確な比較、それが重要である著者の独自の言語。 このスキルは反対のアプローチをとります。 バグではなく、機能として疲労を扱い、ソース素材の特異性を維持します。

2ステップのプロセス:

1。Extract ドキュメント、セクションバイセクション、コンクリート詳細、および自然に埋め込まれた直接引用符(パラファラーゼと休止しない)のすべての重要なポイント。 2.シテーションマーカーを除去し、簡潔な概要/テイクアウトを追加し、読みやすさのためのセクションを整理することによってクリーンアップ。

出力は、セクション見出しの下に整理された番号付きリストで、大胆なキーの用語と反復された引用符です。 メタ・コンメンタリーなし、「著者」のアトリビューションなし.

focus

A Claude skill for rigorous, detail-preserving summarization of academic papers and long-form documents.

Adapted from the FOCUS workflow described in Lin (2025), Nature Biotechnology. The method extracts every key point from a document, section by section, with specific details and naturally embedded direct quotes, then produces a clean final output with an overview at the top.

What it does

Most AI-generated summaries lose the details that make a paper worth reading: effect sizes, method names, exact comparisons, the author’s own language where it matters. This skill takes the opposite approach. It treats exhaustiveness as a feature, not a bug, and preserves the specificity of the source material.

The two-step process:

1. Extract every key point from the document, section by section, with concrete details and direct quotes embedded naturally (not restated alongside paraphrase).
2. Clean up by stripping citation markers, adding a concise overview/takeaway, and organizing sections for readability.

The output is a numbered list organized under section headings, with bold key terms and italicized quotes. No meta-commentary, no attribution to “the authors,” no filler.

Installation

Option 1: Download ZIP

Click the green Code button at the top of this repo, then Download ZIP. Extract the ZIP and add the folder to your Claude skills directory.

Option 2: Releases

Go to the Releases page and download the latest .skill file. Add it to your Claude skills in customize/skills on the web, or double-click it if you have Claude Desktop installed.

Option 3: Build it yourself

Build a .skill file from the source code, then add it to your Claude skills as described above.

git clone https://github.com/stephenturner/skill-focus.git
cd skill-focus
zip -r focus.skill SKILL.md references/

Usage

Trigger the skill with any of:

• /focus (followed by or alongside an uploaded document)
• “Summarize with FOCUS”
• “FOCUS summary”
• “Use the focus method”

It also triggers on requests for exhaustive or detail-preserving summaries where the user wants every key insight captured with supporting quotes.

Example output format

## Overview

[3-6 sentence paragraph summarizing the document's main contribution and findings.]

## Section Title

1. **Key finding in sentence case**
The experiment showed a 23% reduction in error rate across all conditions,
with the strongest effect in the high-complexity group. The method
*"outperformed all baselines on both precision and recall"* when applied
to datasets with more than 10,000 samples.

2. **Another insight**
