Step 1: Gather Sources¶

Upload to NotebookLM (Google's AI notebook):

Step 2: Generate Summary Report¶

First Prompt (Copy & Paste)¶

Assume the role of a financial expert explaining to a stocks swing trader.

Create a detailed report of this video/content that includes:

1. Executive Summary - Key thesis in 2-3 sentences
2. Main Concepts - Broken down by section/topic
3. Trading Implications - How each concept affects markets
4. Alpha Nuggets - Timeless knowledge tidbits that serve as a permanent knowledge base
5. Actionable Takeaways - Specific things to watch/trade

Format with clear headers, bullet points, and highlight trader-relevant insights.

What to Look For in the Output¶

• Clear structure with headers
• Trading-specific implications (not just academic theory)
• Memorable quotes or analogies
• Specific market examples mentioned
• Timeless principles vs. time-sensitive observations

Step 3: Generate Mind Map¶

Second Prompt (Copy & Paste)¶

Create a detailed mind map in Mindomo text format (to be imported).

Requirements:
- Keep at least 5 levels of depth minimum
- Main branches should be the major themes/sections
- Include specific examples and data points at leaf nodes
- Use clear, concise labels (not full sentences)
- Group related concepts logically

Step 4: Create SVG in Mindomo¶

Import Process¶

1. Go to Mindomo
2. Create new mind map → Import → Text outline
3. Paste the mind map text from NotebookLM
4. Adjust layout if needed (recommend: Org Chart Right or Map)

Export as SVG¶

1. File → Export → Image → SVG
2. Download the file
3. Rename to match your markdown file:
4. Speaker-name_topic_date.svg or
5. Topic-name.svg

Recommended Mindomo Settings¶

Step 5: Create Markdown File¶

File Naming Convention¶

docs/global-markets/
├── Speaker_topic_date.md          # For dated content
├── Speaker_topic_date.svg
├── Speaker-name/                   # For multiple from same speaker
│   ├── Topic-one.md
│   ├── Topic-one.svg
│   ├── Topic-two.md
│   └── Topic-two.svg

Initial File Structure¶

Create a .md file with:

1. Raw summary from NotebookLM (paste as-is)
2. Source link (YouTube URL, date, event name)
3. Any additional notes

Step 6: Cursor Organization¶

Prompt Template for Cursor¶

@docs/global-markets/[your-file].md @docs/global-markets/[your-file].svg 
can you organize this file and add the SVG

What Cursor Will Add¶

• YAML frontmatter (title, description, tags)
• Source info block with icons
• SVG embed at top
• Structured sections with tables
• Mermaid diagrams where helpful
• Admonitions (tips, warnings, quotes)
• Trading takeaways highlighted
• Summary table at end
• Navigation entry in mkdocs.yml

Step 7: Build & Deploy¶

After Cursor organizes the file:

# Cursor will offer to run this
mkdocs build
git add .
git commit -m "Add [Speaker]: [Topic] to Global Markets"
git push

Cloudflare Pages auto-deploys from the main branch.

Quality Checklist¶

Before pushing, verify:

• SVG displays correctly (check path in markdown)
• All source links work
• Tags are relevant and consistent with other articles
• Navigation entry added to mkdocs.yml
• No broken internal links
• Trading implications are clear (not just theory)
• At least one actionable takeaway table
