🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand
Andrew Papertscher should be Andrew Perpetua. Syriac maps should be Suriyak Maps. Cvesque may be a mishearing and may need clarification.
🤖💭 AI Plan (pre task) - the AI's step by step thought process
My thinking process to generate the XML summary is as follows:
Understand the Request: I first carefully read the user's request, paying close attention to the overall task, specific tasks (1-6), rules and guidance for each task, and the example XML output. I noted the importance of British English, Ukrainian spellings, and the need for granular, specific topic titles and summaries. I also highlighted the need to capture Jonathan's personality and insights.
Plan the XML Structure: I mentally visualised the required XML structure to ensure I outputted everything in the correct format. I noted the order: `🤖💭 AI Plan (pre task) - the AI's step by step thought process `, ``, ``, ``, then repeating ``, `
`, ``, `` for each topic, followed by ` ` and finally `🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand
`.
- Task 1: Title, Date, and Part:
- I looked at the provided YouTube video title: "Ukraine Conflict (20250303): 5-Day Full Frontline Update".
- Title: I extracted the title by removing the date and part: "Ukraine Conflict: 5-Day Full Frontline Update".
- Date: I extracted the date "20250303" and converted it to DD/MM/YYYY format: "03/03/2025".
- Part: There's no letter after the date, so the part is empty.
- I then prepared the XML tags: `
Ukraine Conflict: 5-Day Full Frontline Update`, `03/03/2025`, ``.

I created the `` XML tags with these titles, numbering them from 1 to 19.
Task 3: Topic Timestamps:
I went back through the transcript and recorded the start and end timestamps for each topic, ensuring they aligned with the topic boundaries identified in Task 2.
I created the `` XML tags, matching the `id`s to the `` tags. I checked for gaps and overlaps and adjusted slightly to ensure full coverage.
Task 4: Topic Summaries:
For each topic, I reread the corresponding section of the transcript and wrote a concise summary in bullet points, using British English and Ukrainian spellings.
I included key details, place names, sources mentioned (mappers, Jan Kiev, Grayskull, Kandar, Chris Iwiki, Noelle Reports, Grace Gold), and Jonathan's analysis and opinions.
I focused on conveying the information accurately and efficiently for someone who doesn't have time to watch the full video.
I made sure to include the "Hello Team" introduction and "Wrap up" closing remarks.
I wrapped each summary in `Return to top⤴️` tags.
Task 5: Quote:
I reread the transcript looking for a quote that was significant, thought-provoking, or representative of Jonathan's style.
I selected the quote: "The Russians appear to be culminating to at least some degree and in some areas, maybe not all of the areas, but certainly some of them." as it summarises a key point about the changing dynamics of the conflict.
I corrected minor transcript errors in the quote and wrapped it in ` "The Russians appear to be culminating to at least some degree and in some areas, maybe not all of the areas, but certainly some of them." `.
Task 6: Queries:
I reviewed my work and considered if there were any parts of the transcript or tasks I didn't understand.
I noted that "Andrew Papertscher" should be "Andrew Perpetua" and "Syriac maps" should be "Suriyak Maps" as potential transcript errors.
I also noted "Cvesque" might be a mishearing and could need clarification.
I wrapped these queries in `🤖❓ AI Debrief (post task) - anything the AI didn't understand Andrew Papertscher should be Andrew Perpetua. Syriac maps should be Suriyak Maps. Cvesque may be a mishearing and may need clarification. `.
Final Review:
I did a final check of the entire XML output to ensure:
Correct XML structure.
All tags are correctly opened and closed.
`id` attributes match between ``, ``, and ``.
British English and Ukrainian spellings used.
Granular and specific topic titles and summaries.
Quote is concise and meaningful.
Queries are included.
No repetition of XML tags within the thinking section.
This systematic approach allowed me to address each task methodically and generate the XML summary according to the user's detailed instructions. By breaking it down into smaller steps and double-checking each stage, I aimed to minimise errors and produce a high-quality output.
