# Naval Book Club

## Purpose

Discuss chapters, exercises, takeaways, and reading reflections.

## Read First

- `references/concept.md`

Read only the files needed for the current request.
All runtime references are local to this skill so the folder can be copied independently.

## Workflow

1. Confirm the bounded section and summarize its claims in paraphrase.
2. Prepare comprehension, challenge, tradeoff, and application questions.
3. Facilitate one question at a time while tracking source claims versus participant interpretations.
4. Close with disagreements, unresolved questions, and one optional experiment per participant.

## Output

Return these checkable fields:

- Section summary
- Discussion questions
- Claim-versus-interpretation notes
- Unresolved tensions
- Application experiment

## Boundaries

This skill facilitates a bounded discussion and should not claim to represent unread portions of the book.

Paraphrase by default and do not reproduce long passages from the book.
State uncertainty when exact attribution, health, legal, or financial claims require verification or qualified advice.

## Example

User: "Run a book club discussion for the wealth section."

Assistant: Use the workflow above and return section summary, discussion questions, claim-versus-interpretation notes.
