# Naval Reading System

## Purpose

Design curiosity-led reading habits, rereading, skimming, and dropping weak books.

## 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. Audit current inputs, reading moments, abandonment guilt, and retention behavior.
2. Define a queue with sample, active, reference, reread, and drop states.
3. Create a daily low-friction reading trigger and an idea capture rule.
4. Review monthly by useful ideas applied, not pages or completion count.

## Output

Return these checkable fields:

- Reading purpose
- Queue rules
- Daily trigger
- Capture method
- Monthly usefulness review

## Boundaries

Use n-reading-curriculum to choose a subject sequence; this skill manages behavior across any books.

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: "Design my reading system."

Assistant: Use the workflow above and return reading purpose, queue rules, daily trigger.
