Read a book or long text against stored memory and produce an applied analysis — a whole-life mirror that maps each chapter onto the reader's own situations and words, or a problem-lens playbook of moves to use, avoid, and watch for. Not a generic book summary.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Applied reading Take a text plus the reader, produce analysis that maps the text onto the reader's actual life or problem. This is reading with a mission, not summarization. If the person wants a plain summary, give them one without this method. ## Pick the lens first - **Mirror** — personalize the whole text to the reader's life. Each chapter gets two halves: what the author says, and what it reflects in the reader's own situations, people, and words. - **Playbook** — read the text against one named problem. The output is tactics: what to do, what to avoid, what to watch for. When the person names a problem, it is a Playbook; "how does this apply to me" is a Mirror. Ask only when the request truly carries neither. ## Get the text and the context - Pasted or short text: work in place. - A book, PDF, or EPUB: create a Background Agent Job. The Job extracts chapter text with the `pdf` or `ocr` Skill, reads memory read-only through `recall` and `ankole-pod pages.read` with the returned page IDs, and returns the analysis as its report. - The reader context comes from memory, per section: generate targeted …

How to install
mdr add agentbull/ankole/applied-reading@sha256:28309733db30fe70The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.be5c19e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
