SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of turning messy transcripts, brain dumps, and multi-topic notes into an actually usable set of ideas with clear prioritization and Open Brain-ready outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Thread extraction with completeness: extracts every idea thread without filtering so important insights aren’t lost to bias.
  • Two-phase verification: reads summary first when available, then verifies against the transcript to reduce missed threads.
  • Evaluation and synthesis workflow: evaluates highest-signal threads, writes permanent outputs, and optionally captures top outcomes back into Open Brain.

Example: after a long voice transcript or exported meeting chat, it produces a numbered thread inventory plus a gold-found synthesis with ACT NOW / RESEARCH MORE / PARKED / KILLED sections.

Quick Start

Paste your transcript or multi-topic markdown into your workspace and tell the AI client: "Pan for gold and save the inventory and gold-found synthesis."

Frequently Asked Questions about panning-for-gold

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract actionable ideas from voice transcripts and brain dumps?▼

To extract actionable ideas from voice transcripts and brain dumps, you can run a two-phase verification workflow that reads existing summaries, cross-checks against the full transcript, and outputs a numbered thread inventory with evaluation sections.

What's the best way to organize multi-topic notes into a prioritized idea inventory?▼

Organizing multi-topic notes into a prioritized idea inventory involves extracting every thread without filtering, evaluating the highest-signal items, and synthesizing them into ACT NOW, RESEARCH MORE, PARKED, and KILLED categories for decision-making.

Can I save extracted insights permanently across agent runs from meeting transcripts?▼

Yes, you can save extracted insights permanently across agent runs by writing permanent output files, such as the numbered inventory and gold-found synthesis, directly to your project docs directory.

Does panning-for-gold work with markdown transcripts for idea extraction?▼

Panning-for-gold works with markdown transcripts by loading the skill from SKILL.md at your client's skill/rules location, processing the multi-topic markdown, and saving the evaluated idea inventories to your project workspace.

How do I preserve important insights without bias when processing brain dumps?▼

To preserve important insights without bias when processing brain dumps, the workflow extracts every idea thread without filtering and applies a two-phase verification to reduce missed threads before final synthesis.
