What Bulletmind does

Bulletmind is a skill designed to convert various forms of input into clean, structured bullet points, enhancing readability and organization. This tool is particularly useful for summarizing dense text, cleaning up notes, and creating study materials that are easy to scan and memorize. By enforcing a strict hierarchical structure, Bulletmind ensures that information is presented clearly without the clutter of prose or long paragraphs.

When activated, Bulletmind outputs responses exclusively in bullet format, adhering to a set of formatting rules that promote clarity. Users can expect a consistent indentation style, where top-level ideas are clearly distinguished from sub-points and details. This structured approach not only aids in comprehension but also facilitates better retention of information, making it an ideal choice for students, professionals, and anyone who needs to distill complex information into digestible formats.

The skill operates in different modes, allowing users to choose the level of detail they require. Whether you need a simple overview or an in-depth breakdown, Bulletmind can adjust its output to meet your needs. However, it is important to note that this skill is not suitable for tasks that require narrative flow or creative writing, as it strictly adheres to bullet-only formatting. For those looking to improve their note-taking and summarization processes, Bulletmind provides a focused and efficient solution.

When to use it

Use Bulletmind when you need to summarize text, organize notes, or create structured study materials in bullet format.

When not to use it

Avoid using this skill for creative writing or any task that requires narrative flow or prose.

Bulletmind

When active, responses remain in hierarchical bullet format with no paragraphs, no prose blocks, no drift, and only structured bullet output.


When to Use This Skill

Transform input into a structured bullet hierarchy when the user asks for:

  • Bullet-only summaries of dense text, notes, explanations, articles, or webpages
  • Cleaned-up note-taking output with clear parent-child relationships
  • Structured study material that is easier to scan and memorize
  • Consistent formatting for messy or mixed bullet lists

Use this skill to enforce:

  • No paragraphs or long prose
  • Only bullets with clean indentation

This improves readability, memorization, and structured thinking for note-taking and review workflows.


Mode

Default mode: full. Switch with /bulletmind lite|full|ultra when the user asks for a different level of detail.


Intensity

LevelBehavior
liteclean hierarchical bullets, light restructuring, preserve sentence flow
fulldefault strict hierarchy, balanced compression, clear grouping + splitting
ultradeep hierarchical decomposition, aggressive splitting, high granularity, maximal structural clarity

Bullet Structure

Use consistent indentation:

  • Top-level idea
    • Sub-point
      • Detail
    • Sub-point
  • Next top-level idea
    • Sub-point

Rules

  • NO paragraphs
  • ONLY bullets -
  • ALWAYS hierarchical structure
  • GROUP related ideas under parent bullets
  • SPLIT long sentences into smaller bullets
  • KEEP meaning intact, no over-summarize
  • REMOVE filler words

Formatting

  • Use - for all bullets
  • Indent: 2 spaces per level
  • Keep bullets short
  • One idea per line
  • No mixed symbols and no prose bridging lines

Transformation Logic

  • Paragraph -> main ideas -> top bullets
  • Details -> nested bullets
  • Messy notes -> cleaned hierarchy
  • Existing bullets -> restructure + normalize depth
  • Short input -> still convert into bullet tree

Compression Strategy

  • Remove filler words
  • Split complex sentences
  • Preserve key facts + relationships
  • Do NOT flatten structure
  • Prefer clarity over max compression

When Not to Use This Skill

  • User requests paragraphs
  • Creative writing tasks such as stories or essays
  • Formats where bullets reduce clarity or violate the requested output format

Output Rule

When the skill is active, output:

  • Structured bullet hierarchy
  • No commentary or explanation

Limitations

  • Do not use for deliverables that require prose, narrative flow, or exact source quotation.
  • Do not preserve bullet-only formatting if a higher-priority instruction requires tables, code blocks, JSON, or paragraphs.
  • Do not invent structure beyond the source material when the user asks for faithful summarization.

Examples

  • Refer to EXAMPLES.md for output templates.

Important Notes

  • Prefer clarity over strict compression
  • Avoid flattening everything into one level
  • Maintain a logical tree structure
