Scientific Podcast Summary
ID: 189 Version: 1.0.0 Description: Automatically summarizes core content from Huberman Lab or Nature Podcast, generating text briefings.
When to Use
Key Features
scripts/main.py.references/ for task-specific guidance.Dependencies
Example Usage
See ## Usage above for related details.
cd "20260318/scientific-skills/Evidence Insight/scientific-podcast-summary"
python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --help
Example run plan:
1. Confirm the user input, output path, and any required config values.
2. Edit the in-file CONFIG block or documented parameters if the script uses fixed settings.
3. Run python scripts/main.py with the validated inputs.
4. Review the generated output and return the final artifact with any assumptions called out.
Implementation Details
See ## Workflow above for related details.
scripts/main.py.references/ contains supporting rules, prompts, or checklists.Quick Check
Use this command to verify that the packaged script entry point can be parsed before deeper execution.
python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
Audit-Ready Commands
Use these concrete commands for validation. They are intentionally self-contained and avoid placeholder paths.
python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --help
Workflow
1. Confirm the user objective, required inputs, and non-negotiable constraints before doing detailed work. 2. Validate that the request matches the documented scope and stop early if the task would require unsupported assumptions. 3. Use the packaged script path or the documented reasoning path with only the inputs that are actually available. 4. Return a structured result that separates assumptions, deliverables, risks, and unresolved items. 5. If execution fails or inputs are incomplete, switch to the fallback path and state exactly what blocked full completion.

Evaluation Criteria
Success Metrics
Test Cases
1. Basic Functionality: Standard input β Expected output 2. Edge Case: Invalid input β Graceful error handling 3. Performance: Large dataset β Acceptable processing timeLifecycle Status
Output Requirements
Every final response should make these items explicit when they are relevant:
Error Handling
scripts/main.py fails, report the failure point, summarize what still can be completed safely, and provide a manual fallback.Input Validation
This skill accepts requests that match the documented purpose of scientific-podcast-summary and include enough context to complete the workflow safely.
Do not continue the workflow when the request is out of scope, missing a critical input, or would require unsupported assumptions. Instead respond:
> scientific-podcast-summary only handles its documented workflow. Please provide the missing required inputs or switch to a more suitable skill.
References
Response Template
Use the following fixed structure for non-trivial requests:
1. Objective 2. Inputs Received 3. Assumptions 4. Workflow 5. Deliverable 6. Risks and Limits 7. Next Checks
If the request is simple, you may compress the structure, but still keep assumptions and limits explicit when they affect correctness.
