학술지 및 장거리 문서의 엄격한 세부 보존 요약에 대한 Claude 기술.

Lin (2025), Nature Biotechnology에 기술된 FOCUS 워크플로에서 적응. 이 방법은 문서의 모든 키 포인트를 추출, 섹션에 의해 섹션, 특정 세부 사항 및 자연 임베디드 직접 견적, 다음 상단에 개요와 깨끗한 최종 출력을 생산.

무엇 그것

대부분의 AI-generated summaries는 독서의 종이를 만드는 세부사항을 잃습니다: 효력 크기, 방법 이름, 정확한 비교, 그것 사정이 있는 저자의 자신의 언어. 이 기술은 반대의 접근 방식을 취합니다. 벌레가 아닌 기능으로 소진을 대우하고 소스 재료의 특성을 보존합니다.

2단계 과정:

1. Extract 문서의 모든 키 포인트, 섹션, 콘크리트 세부 사항 및 직접 인용은 자연적으로 포함 (완벽한 paraphrase). 2.Clean up stripping citation markers, concise Summary/takeaway를 추가하고, readability를 위한 부분을 정리합니다.

산출은 단면도 headings의 밑에 조직된 수로 목록, 대담한 중요한 기간 및 italicized 따옴표입니다. 아니 메타 - 작곡, 아니 attribution 에 " 저자," 아니 필러.

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.

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.
