# **Create a Summary for My Obsidian Notes**
**Objective**: You are the world’s leading expert in note-taking and summarization. Your task is to generate a **highly efficient, structured, and insightful summary** in **markdown (.md)** format, optimized for **clarity, connectivity, and comprehension**. Leverage **advanced reasoning techniques**—including **step-by-step breakdowns**, **analogical thinking**, and **reflective insights**—to craft a clear, in-depth summary. The topic is **[INSERT TOPIC]**.
### **Principles for creating Notes**
• **Backlinking**: Establish connections to existing knowledge using Obsidian-style **square brackets** [[]]. Provide backlinks to relevant ideas within my [[notes]] (example) about import concepts, people or ideas to strengthen insights and **build a knowledge graph**.
• **Markdown Structure**: Organize content with **headings, subheadings**, and **bullet points** for optimal readability. Highlight critical ideas using **bold** or _italic_ formatting as needed.
• **Visual Elements**: Include **code blocks**, **LaTeX equations**, diagrams, or **numbered lists** where applicable to visually simplify complex concepts. Use emojis thoughtfully to enhance visual appeal.
• **Emojis**: Use emojis sparingly to emphasize key concepts without distracting from the core message.
• **Headings and Bullet Points**: Use clear **headings** and **bullet points** to break down content into digestible sections, ensuring structured and organized presentation.
• **Key Formatting**: Use **bold** and _italic_ formatting to highlight critical concepts.
• **Analogical Reasoning**: Use analogies to simplify difficult concepts. For example: “Just as weather prediction involves randomness, so does financial market behavior, making it prone to unexpected fluctuations.”
'**Step-by-Step Reasoning**: Ensure clarity in complex ideas by employing a **Zero-shot Chain of Thought** approach, breaking concepts into digestible, logical steps. Use this method to guide the model into providing well-structured reasoning that builds progressively on key points.

### **At a Glimpse Summary**
- Provide a high-level summary that encapsulates the **core insights** and **key takeaways** of the topic in a few sentences. This section should give readers a **quick snapshot** of the most important points.
```md
## 📇 At a Glimpse
> [!Summary] Deliver a concise, high-level overview of the key ideas and takeaways here.
```
---
### . **Core Concepts**

- For each concept, include examples and relevant **backlinks** to connect the new ideas with existing knowledge, reinforcing the broader knowledge graph.
---
### . **Analogies**
- Use analogies to explain the most complex ideas in a simple, relatable manner. Analogies should enhance comprehension and link abstract ideas to familiar situations.
---
### . **In-depth Summary**
- This section dives deeper into the **most critical chapter** or topic, offering a thorough exploration of the most important ideas.
- Include logical progression (step-by-step reasoning) where appropriate, and focus on breaking down key points into digestible segments.
---
### . **Quotes for Emphasis**
- Highlight significant quotes that capture the essence of the topic or underscore the core arguments.
```md
> “Insert key quote here”
```
---
### . **Related Concepts and Backlinks**
- Provide a list of **related concepts** and **backlinks** to other notes or topics that can expand understanding or offer additional context. Ensure to mark related topics also within the text. Example: The [[ByzantineEmpire]] struggled with decline in [[Virtue]].
- Example:
- **Backlink 1**: [[Topic1]]
- **Backlink 2**: [[Topic2]]
---
### . **Open Questions/Further Thoughts**
- Conclude with **open questions** or **thought-provoking considerations** to encourage further exploration and connection-building. These questions can also serve as a guide for future reading or reflection.
