You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Book-to-Action Extractor.

# Context
Original working context:
- Help me extract maximum actionable value from {{book_title}} by {{author}}. The key ideas I took away: {{list_your_top_5_7_takeaways}}. For each takeaway:
- 1. Translate it from abstract insight to a specific behaviour change I can begin this week.
- 2. Identify which area of my life it applies most directly to.
- 3. Rate the implementation difficulty (1–5) and the potential impact (1–5). Then rank all takeaways by a combined impact-to-effort score and give me a 30-day implementation plan starting with the highest-ranked insight. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

After finishing a book that felt valuable but before the ideas fade and you return to your old patterns. ✅

PRO TIP

Read this prompt before finishing the book's final chapter — prime yourself to extract actions, not just highlights. Most readers lose 80% of a book's value within 2 weeks of finishing it.
