# Deep Article Analysis

## Overview

Provides systematic article analysis methods and thinking tools to help extract core viewpoints, key data, and deep insights from complex articles. Comprehensively applies 10+ thinking models: SCQA Framework, 5W2H Analysis, First Principles, Six Thinking Hats, Critical Thinking, Systems Thinking, Reverse Thinking, Mental Models, Comparison Matrix, Inversion Thinking, and more. Suitable for deeply understanding complex articles, analyzing argumentative logic, and extracting actionable insights from reading materials.

## Use Cases

Article analysis, report interpretation, argument evaluation, deep reading, insight extraction.

## Thinking Model Overview

The skill is accompanied by reference documents for 10+ thinking models:

| Model | Purpose | When to Use |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| [SCQA Framework](references/scqa.md) | Grasp the logical thread of the article | When needing to clarify article structure |
| [5W2H Analysis](references/5w2h.md) | Comprehensive information scanning | When systematically gathering information |
| [First Principles](references/first-principles.md) | Trace back to the source | When needing to understand the essence |
| [Six Thinking Hats](references/six-thinking-hats.md) | All-around evaluation | When examining from multiple perspectives |
| [Critical Thinking](references/critical-thinking.md) | Argument assessment | When evaluating reliability |
| [Systems Thinking](references/systems-thinking.md) | Complex system analysis | When analyzing interrelated factors |
| [Reverse Thinking](references/reverse-thinking.md) | Identify weaknesses | When questioning or refining arguments |
| [Mental Models](references/mental-models.md) | Framework examination | When cognitive framework analysis is needed |
| [Comparison Matrix](references/comparison-matrix.md) | Option comparison | When comparative analysis is needed |
| [Inversion Thinking](references/inversion-thinking.md) | Risk prevention | When preventing failure |

## Core Workflow

### 1. Quick Scan (5W2H)
First, comprehensively scan the basic information of the article using 5W2H:
- What: Core topic / event of the article
- Why: Causes and background
- Who: Individuals and audience involved
- When: Timeline
- Where: Location / platform / scenario
- How: Methods / mechanisms / processes
- How much: Data / degree / scale

### 2. Structure Extraction (SCQA)
Grasp the logic of the article using the SCQA framework:
- Situation: Background context
- Complication: Core conflict / problem
- Question: Key question
- Answer: Author's viewpoint / solution

### 3. In-Depth Analysis (Select appropriate models)

**Argument Evaluation → Critical Thinking**
- Is the evidence sufficient?
- Is the logic valid?
- Are there any logical fallacies?

**Essential Inquiry → First Principles**
- What is the root cause?
- Are the underlying assumptions reliable?
- Is there a simpler explanation?

**Comprehensive Examination → Six Thinking Hats**
- What are the facts? (White Hat)
- What are the intuitive feelings? (Red Hat)
- Where are the risks? (Black Hat)
- What are the value opportunities? (Yellow Hat)
- What are the innovative possibilities? (Green Hat)

**Systemic Interconnection → Systems Thinking**
- Elements and relationships?
- Feedback loops?
- Time delays?

**Risk Prevention → Inversion Thinking**
- How can we ensure failure?
- What is the greatest risk?
- How can we avoid it?

### 4. Insight Extraction

Extract from the analysis:
- **Core Viewpoint**: Summarize the author's claim in one sentence
- **Key Data**: Important figures and facts
- **Deep Insights**: Valuable insights and inspirations
- **Actionable Takeaways**: Advice that can guide action
- **Key Questions**: Issues worth further consideration

## Output Format

The analysis report is recommended to include:

```
## Core Viewpoint
[One-sentence summary]

## Key Data
- [Data point 1]
- [Data point 2]

## Deep Insights
### Insight 1
[Specific analysis]

### Insight 2
[Specific analysis]

## Thinking Models Applied
- [List of models used]
- [Key findings from each model]

## Questions for Further Exploration
[Issues worth further discussion]
```
