Note Single Lecture

Note Single Lecture

Applicability

• User asks for 单讲笔记, 课程笔记, lecture notes, mind-map notes, or note-single-lecture
• Input is one lecture PDF/PPT (ask which file if several candidates exist)
• Desired pipeline: mind map → note-generation prompt → Chinese classroom notes

Output Contract

For one lecture file, create these workspace-relative output folders unless the user asks otherwise:

• Intermediate folder: note-single-lecture-work//
• Final notes folder: note-single-lecture/

Put every intermediate/generated working artifact in note-single-lecture-work//, including extracted text, rendered page images, outline JSON, mind map PNG, prompt MD, scratch audits, and temporary checks.

Put the final classroom note Markdown only in note-single-lecture/.

Produce exactly these named artifacts unless the user asks otherwise:

1. note-single-lecture-work//_思维导图.png
2. note-single-lecture-work//_笔记生成提示词.md
3. note-single-lecture/_课程笔记.md

Use the source lecture PDF/PPT, generated mind map, and generated prompt as inputs for the final notes. Copy the final Markdown notes to the clipboard only when the user explicitly wants Feishu-ready output.

Workflow

1. Inspect the lecture

• Identify the single source lecture file. If multiple candidate PDFs/PPTs exist, ask which one.
• Define `` from the source file name without extension.
• Create note-single-lecture-work// for intermediate artifacts and note-single-lecture/ for final notes.
• Extract slide/page text with pdftotext -layout for PDFs when available. For PPTX, use available Office/Python extraction tools.
• Get page/slide count and a title list.
• Render sparse or visual-heavy pages to images using pdftoppm or another local renderer, especially pages with diagrams, screenshots, code images, tables, examples, exercises, or answer slides.
• Treat the current lecture file as authoritative; prior notes are only examples.
• Ignore non-course-content administrative information by default, including opening lecturer names/affiliations and closing email/contact/forum/Q&A-channel slides, unless the user explicitly asks to preserve administrative information.

2. Build the mind map first

Create a complete hierarchical outline that covers all course content without mechanically following slide order. The mind map should resemble a study framework:

• Root: lecture title.
• First-level branches: major themes.
• Lower-level branches: definitions, processes, comparisons, diagrams, workflows, examples, exercises, answer slides, practice requirements, exam points.
• For concepts with explicit definitions in the lecture, preserve the complete source-language definition before adding the Chinese translation/explanation. Do not replace a full source definition with a shorter paraphrase. Do not introduce visible boilerplate labels that announce the source-language status. If the source sentence is English, put the direct Chinese translation immediately after the English sentence in the same paragraph or list item, with no blank line, no line break, and no added separator label.
• Include English for important terms in parentheses, e.g. 版本控制（Version Control）.
• Include diagram/screenshot meanings as nodes, not just text slides.
• Include all examples, exercises, quizzes, past-paper questions, and answer slides as nodes when they are part of the course content.
• Place examples, exercises, quizzes, questions, and answer slides directly under the concept, process step, diagram, workflow, or definition they test or illustrate. Do not group them into a separate standalone examples/questions section, because that weakens the association between the prompt and the related content.
• For examples/exercises/questions, preserve any original answer from the lecture completely and verbatim enough for study use, especially numbered or bulleted sub-points. Do not shorten an original answer into a summary. Add a Chinese translation/explanation after the complete original answer.
• When creating a supplemental reference answer because the lecture has no answer, write the supplemental answer in English first, then provide a complete Chinese translation that preserves the same points and structure. Do not use a shorter Chinese explanation in place of the translation.
• If the lecture has no answer for an example/exercise/question, create a bilingual reference answer and label it as 补充参考答案（Supplemental Reference Answer）.

Save the mind map outline JSON in note-single-lecture-work//, then render the outline to PNG in the same folder. Prefer the bundled script:

python /scripts/render_mindmap.py note-single-lecture-work//outline.json note-single-lecture-work//_思维导图.png

The script expects JSON:

{
  "title": "Lecture 4：生产与管理（Production and Management）",
  "children": [
    {
      "title": "敏捷管理（Agile Management）",
      "children": [
        {"title": "迭代（Sprint）：短周期开发"}
      ]
    }
  ]
}

If rendering fails, create the PNG by another reliable local method, but still deliver a PNG file.

3. Generate the note prompt

Readability override for all note generation:

• Do not mechanically reproduce every English source text plus Chinese translation. Ordinary descriptive content should be written mainly in Chinese, but preserve selected important English descriptive source sentences when they are central lecture claims, exam-worthy wording, summary bullets, design warnings, or concise principle statements. Keep English for key terms in parentheses, complete source definitions, selected important descriptive source sentences, examples/exercises/questions, existing answers, supplemental answers, and code/literal source content.
• Use unordered lists for short feature lists, design considerations, term groups, and parallel points.
• Use ordered lists for steps, procedures, sequences, and methods.
• Use Markdown tables for necessary comparisons when the lecture contains similar concepts, media properties, workflows, design tradeoffs, criteria, examples with contrasting outcomes, or good/bad design cases. Insert each comparison table immediately after the concept, diagram, workflow, or example it clarifies; do not collect comparison tables into a separate comparison-only section unless the lecture itself is organized that way. Use unordered or ordered lists only for lightweight comparisons where a table would reduce readability.
• Use quote blocks only for course-content examples, exercises, questions, existing source answers, and supplemental reference answers. Do not use quote blocks for ordinary definitions, explanations, design considerations, comparisons, feature lists, or short source/translation pairs.
• Inside quote blocks, whenever English source text is preserved for an example, exercise, question, evaluation comment, correction, existing answer, or supplemental answer, put the Chinese translation immediately after the English text in the same quoted line/paragraph, not as a separate quoted line. Example: > 示例陈述：English sentence. 中文翻译：中文句子。
• For numbered bilingual examples/exercises/questions/answers inside quote blocks, do not put Markdown ordered-list markers on each quoted line. Prefer a quoted label such as Point 1: / 第 1 点：, or keep one answer point together as one quoted paragraph, so renderers cannot renumber English and Chinese lines incorrectly.
• Do not put bilingual line-by-line lists inside quote blocks. If a complete source definition or descriptive English sentence must keep English outside examples/exercises/questions/answers, keep the English and direct Chinese translation in the same normal paragraph or list item without source-language boilerplate labels. Put the Chinese translation immediately after the English sentence, with no blank line, no line break, and no extra space used as a visual separator.
• Reserve code blocks for actual code or literal formatted source content.
• English source text and direct Chinese translation may appear in normal paragraphs, unordered lists, or ordered lists when exact source wording is important for an exam, definition, important descriptive lecture claim, example, exercise, question, or answer. For descriptive source statements, preserve only selected high-value sentences instead of every slide bullet; the English sentence and direct Chinese translation must stay together in the same paragraph, with the Chinese translation immediately following the English sentence. Quote blocks are reserved for examples, exercises, questions, and their answers.
• Do not use visible source/translation boilerplate labels such as 英文原文, 课件定义, Source, or Translation; put explanatory Chinese prose directly after the source, translation, paragraph, or list as ordinary Markdown text.
• Avoid duplicate content: if a Chinese sentence has already explained the same meaning, do not immediately repeat it again as English source plus direct translation unless exact source wording is important for an exam, definition, important descriptive lecture claim, or answer. For low-value descriptive slide text, prefer a faithful Chinese paraphrase rather than preserving the full English sentence.
• Hard heading-numbering constraint: except for the final ## 重点对比总结 and ## 考试与复习重点 sections, every level-2 Markdown heading must begin with an uppercase Chinese section number such as 一、, 二、, 三、; every level-3 Markdown heading must begin with a lowercase Arabic number such as 1., 2., 3.. Restart level-3 numbering inside each level-2 section.

Create note-single-lecture-work//_笔记生成提示词.md before writing notes. The prompt must:

• State the concrete goal.
• Name the source lecture file and generated mind map file.
• Require theme-based Markdown headings, not slide-by-slide notes.
• Require Chinese explanation and mostly Chinese descriptive prose; allow selected important English descriptive source sentences outside preserved definitions/examples/questions/answers when the source wording is useful for review or exams.
• Require any follow-up Chinese explanation to be a normal Markdown paragraph outside source quote/code blocks when quote blocks are used, without visible source/translation boilerplate labels.
• Require complete definition handling: when the lecture provides a concept definition, include the source-language definition in full, then add a Chinese translation/explanation. Do not compress the source definition into a summary, and do not prefix it with source-language boilerplate labels. If the source definition or descriptive source sentence is English, place the Chinese direct translation immediately after it in the same paragraph or list item, with no blank line, no line break, and no extra separator space.
• Require key terms and definitions as 中文（English）.
• Require diagram/screenshot explanations.
• Require example/exercise/question handling for every course-content example, exercise, quiz, or past-paper question in the lecture: include the English prompt when useful, a Chinese translation/explanation, and an answer section.
• Require examples, exercises, quizzes, questions, their existing source answers, and supplemental reference answers to use quote blocks for the preserved prompt/answer content.
• Require quote blocks to keep English source text and its Chinese translation in the same quoted line/paragraph for examples, exercises, questions, evaluation comments, corrections, existing answers, and supplemental answers. Do not put a standalone > 中文翻译：... line after an English quoted line; instead write > Label: English text. 中文翻译：中文文本。
• Require all non-example/non-exercise/non-question content to avoid quote blocks and use ordinary paragraphs plus unordered or ordered lists according to the content structure.
• Require examples, exercises, quizzes, questions, and answer slides to appear immediately after the corresponding concept/process/diagram/workflow they illustrate or test. Do not create a separate examples/questions/exercises section unless the whole lecture is itself organized as a question bank.
• If the PDF provides an answer, preserve the source-language answer completely, including all numbered or bulleted sub-points, and then add a Chinese translation/explanation. Do not compress, paraphrase away, or replace a source answer with a shorter "strong answer" summary.
• For supplemental reference answers, require a complete Chinese translation of the supplemental English answer, preserving all numbered/bulleted points and sub-points. Do not replace the Chinese translation with a shorter explanation or study note.
• If no answer is provided, write a plausible reference answer in both English and Chinese and mark it as 补充参考答案（Supplemental Reference Answer）.
• Ignore non-course-content administrative information such as the opening lecturer name/affiliation and closing email/contact/forum/Q&A channel unless the user explicitly asks to include it.
• Require highlight syntax for key points: ==注意：...==.
• Require concept comparisons when the lecture contains similar terms, workflows, media properties, design tradeoffs, evaluation criteria, or good/bad examples. Use Markdown tables for necessary comparisons and insert each table immediately after the related concept/process/diagram/workflow/example it clarifies. Use unordered or ordered lists only for lightweight comparisons where a table would reduce readability.
• Require final output named note-single-lecture/_课程笔记.md.

4. Write the final notes

Use the generated prompt, mind map, and source lecture to write note-single-lecture/_课程笔记.md.

Recommended structure:

# Lecture N：中文标题（English Title）
## 课程基础信息
## 整体框架 / 主题总览
## 一、主题一（English）
### 关键定义
### 流程解释
### 图示说明
### 示例、练习与答案
## 二、主题二（English）
...
## 重点对比总结
## 考试与复习重点

Do not use ## Slide 1, ## Slide 2, etc. It is acceptable to mention slide numbers only as traceability notes when useful, but the document must be organized by concepts.

Examples, exercises, quizzes, questions, and answer slides must stay attached to their related concept sections instead of being moved to a separate final block. For example, a question about project purpose belongs under the project-goal subsection, and a question about target users belongs under the target-audience subsection.

Use the lightest readable Markdown structure. For example, short design considerations should be written as a list:

- Navigation: 导航。
- Use of Controls: 控件使用。

Use Markdown tables for necessary comparisons. Place each table at the immediate point of need, directly after the concept, workflow, diagram, or example being compared. Do not postpone all comparisons to the final summary. Good candidates include similar concepts, media property tradeoffs, design choices, good/bad examples, scoring criteria, and workflow variants.

Do not repeat the same idea in a Chinese sentence and then immediately repeat it again as English source plus direct Chinese translation, unless the exact source wording belongs to an example, exercise, question, existing answer, or supplemental reference answer.

Use quote blocks only for examples, exercises, questions, existing answers, and supplemental reference answers. Keep definitions, explanations, design considerations, comparisons, and short source/translation pairs as ordinary paragraphs, unordered lists, or ordered lists. When an English descriptive sentence is preserved with a direct Chinese translation, keep the pair in one paragraph/list item and join the translation directly after the English sentence without a blank line, line break, or boilerplate label.

Inside quote blocks, keep each English source item and its Chinese translation in the same quoted paragraph. Use formats like > Question: English question. 问题：中文翻译。 or > 示例陈述：English statement. 中文翻译：中文翻译。; do not place the translation on a separate quoted line unless the source itself is a multi-point answer and each point remains English+Chines
