WeChat Digest#

Deep extraction and synthesis of WeChat public account (微信公众号) articles. Removes noise, extracts core arguments, and generates multi-format summaries. Cross-article synthesis for thematic reading.

Workflow#

1. Extract content — Fetch and parse WeChat articles from URL, shared text, or archived HTML.

2. Denoise — Strip ads, "follow us" banners, bottom menus, related-article footers, and social sharing widgets.

3. Structured extraction — Pull core arguments, key data points, quotes, case studies, and article outline.

4. Summarize — Generate three variants:

   • One-liner — Extreme brevity for scanning.
   • 3-paragraph — Executive summary.
   • Knowledge card — Structured facts, figures, and takeaways.

5. Cross-article synthesis — Given multiple articles on one topic, merge, de-duplicate, and highlight consensus vs. disagreement.

6. Export formats — Knowledge cards, Markdown notes, or mind map outline (OPML/Indent).

7. Reading list — Suggest related articles based on topic tags.

8. Output — Structured notes to stdout or file.
