strategic-reading skillA
strategic-reading is agent-read markdown (skill) from garrytan/gbrain: Read a book, article, transcript, or case study through the lens of a specific strategic problem you're facing. Produces an applied playbook that maps the source onto the problem and gives short/medium/long-term recommendations. NOT for general book summaries..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# strategic-reading — Applied Analysis from Source Texts > **Convention:** see [conventions/quality.md](../conventions/quality.md) for > citation rules (every recommendation cites the source) and back-link > enforcement. > > **Convention:** see [_brain-filing-rules.md](../_brain-filing-rules.md) — > output files by primary subject (concepts/ for general strategy, projects/ > for problem-tied playbooks). ## What this is Take a large text PLUS a specific strategic problem, produce analysis that maps the text's insights onto the problem.
