The skill
Domain-neutral methodology for the first level of Adler-style reading - systematic skimming to determine what kind of document this is, what it's about as a whole, and whether deeper engagement is worth the time investment. Read title, metadata, table of contents or section headings, abstract or introduction, conclusion, and end-material at a glance. Classify document type (methodology, framework, tool, theoretical, reference, or hybrid). Decide whether to escalate to deeper reading. Reusable across any artifact-from-document workflow - paper extraction, skill creation from a methodology document, literature triage, reading-list pruning. Use when an agent needs to convert "I have a document, what is it" into structured downstream-actionable input. Trigger keywords - inspectional reading, systematic skimming, document classification, Adler reading, skim before reading, skill-worthiness check, paper triage, reading triage.
