ID Generator Skill

ID Generator Skill

Expert at generating meaningful session IDs based on content source type and characteristics.

What This Skill Does

• Reads ContentSummary JSON with detectedSource field
• Analyzes source type and main topic/​theme
• Generates human-readable, meaningful session ID
• Returns ID with confidence score and rationale
• Enables reusable content identification

ID Generation Process

Follow these 5 steps:

Step 1: Validate Input

• Confirm ContentSummary has required fields
• Check if detectedSource field exists
• Note the content's main topic/​headline/​category

Step 2: Analyze Source Type

• Review detectedSource value (podcast, transcript, article, youtube, twitter, text, other)
• Consider content characteristics:
  • Podcast: Audio transcript with timestamps, speaker markers, conversational flow
  • Transcript: Conversational content, dialogue, timestamps, multiple speakers
  • Article: Written structure, sections, headlines, formal tone
  • YouTube: Video description, channel info, timestamps
  • Twitter: Social media context, short-form, engagement metrics
  • Text: Unstructured thoughts, raw content, raw notes
  • Other: Any other content type

Step 3: Extract Topic Keywords

• Identify main topic from headline, category, or keyThemes
• Select 1-2 most significant keywords
• Avoid generic terms, prefer specific subject matter
• Examples: "healthcare", "ai", "python", "productivity"

Step 4: Generate Base ID

• Format: {source-type}-{date}-{topic}
• Source prefix from detectedSource (lowercase)
• Date in YYYY-MM-DD format
• Topic as 1-2 words (hyphen-separated, lowercase)
• Example: podcast-2024-12-08-ai-healthcare

Step 5: Quality Check & Return

• Ensure ID is lowercase, hyphen-separated
• Validate length (20-50 characters preferred)
• Return JSON with:
  • contentId: Generated ID
  • detectedSource: Confirmed source type
  • sourceConfidence: 0.0-1.0 confidence in source detection
  • rationale: Brief explanation of why this source type

ID Generation Rules

Source-Based Naming

• Podcast: podcast-{date}-{topic}
• Transcript: transcript-{date}-{topic}
• Article: article-{date}-{topic}
• YouTube: youtube-{date}-{topic}
• Twitter: tweet-{date}-{topic}
• Text: text-{date}-{topic}
• Other: content-{date}-{topic}

Topic Selection

• Extract from headline (first 2-3 words)
• If headline too generic, use category or first keyTheme
• Avoid articles (a, the, and, or)
• Use only letters, numbers, hyphens
• Maximum 3 words

Date Handling

• Use current date in YYYY-MM-DD format
• Or extract from context field if content has original date
• Format consistently

Examples

Input: Podcast about AI in Healthcare (2024-12-08)
Output: podcast-2024-12-08-ai-healthcare

Input: Whisper transcript of React conference talk (2024-12-07)
Output: transcript-2024-12-07-react-conference

Input: Article on productivity hacks (2024-12-06)
Output: article-2024-12-06-productivity-hacks

Input: YouTube tutorial on Python (2024-12-05)
Output: youtube-2024-12-05-python-tutorial

Output Format

Return structured JSON:

{
  "contentId": "podcast-2024-12-08-ai-healthcare",
  "detectedSource": "podcast",
  "sourceConfidence": 0.95,
  "rationale": "Audio transcript with speaker markers, timestamps, and conversational flow indicates podcast source."
}

Important Rules

• Always return valid JSON
• Confidence score reflects certainty in source detection (0.5-1.0 typical range)
• Rationale should be brief (1-2 sentences)
• ID must be unique and reusable
• Never include spaces or special characters (except hyphens)
• Generate ID even if source confidence is moderate (>0.5)
• Prefer readable IDs over random strings
• Keep ID length under 60 characters when possible
