# Learn from sources

Sources and focus: $ARGUMENTS

0. **Transcripts.** The librarians have no MCP tools. If a transcript or subtitles tool is connected in this session, fetch the YouTube transcripts here, save each to a temp file, and pass the paths in the briefs.
1. **Split the work.** One `office:librarian` per 3–4 sources, run in parallel (at most 4 librarians). Each brief: the URLs or file paths, the user's focus question, and "digest each source into ~/knowledge/sources, do not write the synthesis".
2. **Synthesis.** When all are done, one more `office:librarian`, run one tier up (`model: opus`, `effort: high`) because it merges the others' work, with the list of digest files: "write the synthesis note comparing these with the user's current setup and rank the improvements".
3. **Hand back** in chat:
   - files written,
   - the top improvements as a table: idea, source(s), effort S/M/L, what changes in practice,
   - claims to doubt, one line.
4. Offer to implement the top item. Don't implement without the user's go.
