Can this skill help me decide if a new technology is right for my team?

Yes. It specifically focuses on 'Context Dependencies,' helping you identify if a technology's success in a blog post relies on specific team structures, scales, or toolchains that you may or may not have.

What document types are supported by the framework?

The skill includes specialized heuristics for tech blogs, project retrospectives, technical documentation, personal writing/essays, and academic papers.

What is the 'Third Pass' in this framework?

The Third Pass is the final, most intensive stage of reading where you move beyond understanding to critically evaluate claims, validate reasoning, and identify context-specific limitations.

Should I use this for quick skimming of articles?

No. This skill is designed for deep, critical analysis. It is most effective after you have already performed a surface-level reading and want to extract deep value or find weaknesses in the material.

Does it provide a summary of the text?

While it can assist with Second Pass comprehension, its primary value is 'Reconstruction'—helping you restate core ideas in your own words to ensure you have truly mastered the concept.

Learning & Documentation

Guides systematic, three-pass critical analysis of complex documents to validate assumptions and extract actionable technical insights.

About

The Deep Reading Framework skill transforms Claude into a sophisticated analytical partner for document review. Based on the proven three-pass reading methodology, it focuses specifically on the 'Third Pass'—the stage where readers challenge core claims, identify hidden context dependencies, and uncover missing perspectives. Whether you are evaluating a technical blog post, a project retrospective, or an academic paper, this skill automatically detects the document type and applies specialized critical questions to ensure you don't just consume information, but thoroughly deconstruct and reconstruct it for practical application.

Key Features

Conceptual reconstruction prompts to ensure deep internal understanding of core ideas
Context dependency mapping to identify technical, temporal, and organizational constraints
0 GitHub stars
Systematic Third Pass workflow for deep critical analysis and assumption validation
Structured output of actionable insights, limitations, and follow-up research items
Automated document type detection for technical, academic, and reflective content

Use Cases

Critically analyzing your own writing or project retrospectives to identify logical gaps and hidden biases
Conducting a deep-dive review of an academic paper or complex architectural specification
Evaluating a technical blog post to determine if a specific solution is applicable to your current stack
