Framework Overview of Major Historical Events

Select one macro historical event or process each day and provide a framework-based overview to help users:

Form a systematic cognitive framework: Understand the logic of how the world operates
Accumulate social talking points: Gain catchy one-liners that can be blurted out
Connect to current hot topics: Understand current affairs through the lens of history

Core Positioning

Dimension	Positioning
Event Granularity	Macro events (e.g., World War II, Industrial Revolution), not individual or single-point events
Analysis Depth	Framework overview (Causes → Process → Outcomes → Impacts), similar to a textbook chapter
Output Purpose	Cognitive framework + social talking points, not in-depth academic research
Word Count Range	1500-2500 words

Topic Selection Priority

Priority 1: Link to recent hot topics
  ↓ If no relevant hot topics / already covered
Priority 2: Innovative topics outside the preset pool
  ↓ If all pool topics are covered
Priority 3: Random exploration of unknown events

Hot Topic Judgment Process

When executing the skill, must first call the search tool to obtain hot topics:

Step 1: Call the search_web tool
        Query: "This week's international news hotspots" or "Today's major news"

Step 2: Extract 2-3 hot topics from the search results

Step 3: Judge if there is a historical connection
        - Strong connection: Same region / same type (Russia-Ukraine conflict → Cold War/Soviet disintegration)
        - Weak connection: Similar structure/pattern (AI competition → Space Race)
        - No connection: Skip hot topic priority and proceed to topics outside the preset pool

Step 4: Select the historical event with the highest relevance

Connection Judgment Criteria:

Connection Type	Definition	Example
Regional Connection	Historical events in the same region	Middle East conflicts → Crusades/Ottoman Empire
Type Connection	Events of the same type	Financial crisis → Great Depression/2008 Crisis
Structural Connection	Similar game/evolution patterns	Great power competition → Cold War/pre-WWI era
Person/Organization Connection	Involves the same subject	EU crisis → EU integration process

Topic Selection Rules

Hot Topic First: Obtain hot topics through the above process and select major events that can establish a "historical lens" relationship
Innovation Bonus: Not limited to the preset pool, creative niche topics get extra points
Duplication Removal Mechanism: Already covered events will not be repeated (recorded in
```
history_autopsy_log.json
```
)
Diversity: Avoid consecutive selection of events from the same region/period

Event Type Pool (Reference, Encourage Innovation)

Type	Example
Wars and Conflicts	World War II, Cold War, Crusades, Pacific War
Revolutions and Transformations	French Revolution, Industrial Revolution, Russian Revolution, Meiji Restoration
Rise and Fall of Empires	Roman Empire, Mongol Empire, British Empire, Ottoman Empire
Ideological Movements	Renaissance, Enlightenment, Protestant Reformation, May Fourth Movement
Economic Changes	Great Depression, Bretton Woods System, Oil Crisis, Globalization Wave
Technological Waves	Age of Discovery, Space Race, Internet Revolution, AI Revolution
Institutional Evolution	Evolution of democratic systems, Establishment of the United Nations, EU Integration

Historical Period Distribution

Ensure diversity, avoid selecting events from the same period for 2 consecutive times:

Ancient (Pre-476 BC)
Medieval (476-1453 AD)
Early Modern (1453-1789 AD)
Modern (1789-1914 AD)
Contemporary (1914-1991 AD)
Current Era (1991-present)

Regional Distribution

Ensure diversity:

China / East Asia
Europe
Americas
Middle East / West Asia
South Asia / Southeast Asia
Africa
Global Events

Duplication Check Process

Read
```
history_autopsy_log.json
```
(treat as empty array
```
[]
```
if it does not exist)
Check if the candidate event is already in the history records
If duplicate: Re-select (up to 3 times)
If still duplicate after 3 attempts:

Your historical archive is already quite rich! Human history is vast, please try again later or specify the historical period you are interested in.
If successful: Append the event name to the history and write back

Golden Sentence Standards

Each golden sentence must meet:

Dimension	Requirement
Length	No more than 30 words (easy to remember and retell)
Structure	One core assertion + one supporting point
Independence	Understandable without context

Division of Labor for Three Golden Sentences:

Golden Sentence	Type	Function	Example
Golden Sentence 1	Summative Assertion	Summarize the essence of the event	"The Cold War was essentially a debate about how humans should live"
Golden Sentence 2	Counterintuitive Fact	Provide a highlight for talking points	"The Internet was originally designed to maintain communication during nuclear war"
Golden Sentence 3	Historical Analogy	Connect to the present	"Every technological revolution has people saying 'the human body can't withstand it'"

Language Style

Easy to Understand: Avoid academic jargon, explain complex concepts in everyday language
Clear Framework: Logical and structured, allowing readers to quickly grasp the main thread
Highlighted Golden Sentences: Use bold or
```
> quote box
```
in the text to highlight key retellable sentences
Objective Presentation: Explain "why" instead of judging "right or wrong"

Citation Norms

All historical facts must be verifiable

Mark

(According to historical records)

(According to academic research)

when the source cannot be confirmed

Objectively present multiple viewpoints when encountering academic disputes

Restrictive Principles

✅ Do:

Select macro events, not individual events
Provide framework-based overview to help form cognitive structure
Highlight retellable golden sentences and talking points
Present objectively and avoid subjective judgment

❌ Don't:

Select overly segmented single-point events (e.g., "a certain battle" as a standalone article)
Conduct in-depth academic causal chain analysis (that's the positioning of the old version of the skill)
Make moral judgments or political stances
Express positions on sensitive historical topics

Example: Industrial Revolution

Industrial Revolution: Framework Overview

1. One-Sentence Definition

The Industrial Revolution (c. 1760-1840) was a historic transition of humanity from an agricultural society to an industrial society, with machines replacing manual labor, factories replacing workshops, and cities replacing villages, completely reshaping human production methods, social structures, and the global pattern.

2. Background and Causes

Era Background: By the 18th century, Britain had completed the bourgeois revolution and established a legal system protecting private property; the Enclosure Movement released a large number of free laborers; overseas colonies provided raw materials and markets.

Direct Trigger: Technological breakthroughs in the textile industry - the 1764 Spinning Jenny and the 1769 improved Watt steam engine, making large-scale mechanical production possible.

Deep-seated Causes:

Institution: Patent laws protect inventions and innovations
Capital: Banking system supports industrial investment
Resources: Britain has abundant coal and iron resources close to water transportation

Key Insight: The Industrial Revolution was not a sudden outbreak of technology, but the result of the simultaneous maturity of four factors: institution, capital, resources, and market.

3. Key Processes

Phase 1: Textile Industry Leadership (1760-1800) The cotton textile industry was mechanized first, the concept of "factory" was born, and Manchester became the "Workshop of the World".

Phase 2: Steam Age (1800-1840) Steam engines were applied to mining, metallurgy, and transportation, railway networks began to be laid, and coal became a strategic resource.

Phase 3: Global Diffusion (1840-1914) The Industrial Revolution spread from Britain to continental Europe, the United States, and Japan, forming the "Second Industrial Revolution" (electricity, chemical industry, internal combustion engine).

Turning Point: The opening of the Liverpool-Manchester Railway in 1830 - Railways not only transported goods, but also transported the ideas and models of the Industrial Revolution.

4. Outcomes and Impacts

Immediate Consequences:

Productivity explosion: British industrial output quadrupled from 1800 to 1850
Accelerated urbanization: Urban population accounted for 20% of Britain in 1800, rising to 50% in 1850
Social differentiation: A new class confrontation formed between factory owners and the working class

Long-term Impacts:

Reshaped global pattern: Industrialized countries became the dominant forces in the world
Embryo of modern society: Separation of work and life, time discipline, consumer culture
Environmental costs: Problems such as soot pollution and resource depletion began to emerge

Legacy:

The "growth logic" initiated by the Industrial Revolution is still the underlying assumption of the global economy
Anxiety about employment structure changes caused by technological transformation (similar to today's discussions about AI replacing human labor)

5. Cognitive Framework

What does this history teach us?

Four-Factor Model: Technological breakthroughs require the simultaneous maturity of four factors: institution, capital, resources, and market
First-Mover Advantage and Path Dependence: Britain's first-mover advantage continued to influence the world pattern for the next 150 years
Social Costs of Technological Revolution: Each technological revolution is accompanied by drastic social restructuring and growing pains

How to use it to understand the present?

The AI revolution is called the "Fourth Industrial Revolution" - we are at a similar historical turning point, facing the same challenges of productivity leap, drastic employment structure changes, and social institutions lagging behind technological progress.

6. Talking Points Cheat Sheet

💡 Golden Sentence 1: The essence of the Industrial Revolution is "machines replacing manual labor, factories replacing workshops, cities replacing villages" - 12 words summarizing humanity's greatest social transformation.

💡 Golden Sentence 2: When railways opened in 1830, some people worried "the human body cannot withstand 30 km/h" - similar panic occurs in every technological revolution.

💡 Golden Sentence 3: Britain could industrialize first not because the British were smarter, but because inventions and innovations could make money there - institutions are more important than intelligence.
