Add a key takeaway
Overview
This repo collects the key takeaways of a presentation on developing with AI at Merkator. The deliverable is the list in README.md. Every takeaway the user states goes in that list, in their words.
When to use
- The user states a point from the talk ("the next one is…", "another takeaway is…").
- The user refines a takeaway already in the list ("make that one also mention X").
- The user asks to reorder, split, merge, or drop takeaways.
Not for: general edits to this repo that have nothing to do with the list.
Format
The list is a numbered Markdown list under ## Key takeaways. Each item is:
1. **Short imperative headline.** One or two sentences in plain language saying
what to do and why. Optional sub-bullets when the takeaway has distinct parts:
- **Name of the part** — what it is, in one line.
Rules:
- Headline is bold, imperative, and short — it is what lands on the slide.
- Body is the speaker's own point, lightly edited for reading. Don't inflate a one-line remark into a paragraph.
- Sub-bullets only when the takeaway genuinely splits into named parts. Otherwise keep it to the sentences.
- Numbering is presentation order. New takeaways append to the end unless the user says where it belongs.
How to add one
- Read the current
## Key takeawayssection before editing, so the new item matches the voice and depth of the existing ones. - Append the new numbered item — do not renumber or reword the others.
- Show the user the resulting section and ask for the next takeaway.
Common mistakes
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Rewriting the user's point into consultant-speak | Keep their phrasing; edit only for readability. |
| Adding takeaways the user didn't state | The list is theirs. Never invent items to "round it out". |
| Silently restructuring earlier entries | Change an existing item only when asked. |
| Burying the point in prose | Bold headline first, detail after. |
