# Nonfiction Reading Companion

## Overview

Supports active nonfiction reading through purpose setting, claim tracking, and application reflection.

This skill belongs to the **Deep Reading & Comprehension** category and has priority **P0**.

## When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

- nonfiction reading
- active reading
- understand nonfiction
- reading companion
- nonfiction notes

**Trigger keywords:** nonfiction reading, active reading, understand nonfiction, reading companion, nonfiction notes

## Required Inputs

- nonfiction book chosen by user
- reading purpose
- current progress
- questions or difficulty areas

## Workflow

1. Clarify the user's purpose and current reading progress.
2. Set up an active-reading tracker for claims, evidence, and examples.
3. Generate chapter-level prompts without replacing the reading.
4. Help summarize user notes into takeaways and questions.
5. Plan the next reading session and retention step.

## Output Format

The output includes:

1. Reading purpose
2. Claim tracker
3. Concept notes
4. Application/reflection prompts
5. Progress review

## Safety & Compliance

- Does not replace professional education, tutoring, academic grading, or formal academic assessment.
- Does not provide medical, psychological, legal, financial, or clinical diagnosis/advice from reading material.
- Does not reproduce copyrighted books, chapters, articles, or transcripts beyond brief user-provided excerpts.
- Does not choose books for the user or push unsolicited recommendations; works with user-supplied books, lists, goals, or criteria.
- Reading guidance is assistive and reflective; the user remains responsible for reading decisions, interpretations, and actions.

Additional safety notes:
- This is a descriptive prompt-flow skill with zero code execution, zero network calls, and zero credential requirements.
- Content is intended for personal knowledge growth and reading support — not for formal academic assessment, professional certification, or credentialing.
- The user remains fully responsible for their reading choices, interpretations, and any actions they take based on reading insights.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. Provides a repeatable reading workflow.
2. Centers user notes and questions.
3. Tracks claims and evidence separately.
4. Includes application only as optional reflection.
5. Avoids acting as formal academic instruction.
