    * understanding how specific module works in codebase\n    * overall architecture in the new codebase\n    * onboarding faster in the new codebase\n    * researching a topic\n    * analyzing video content/meeting transcripts to quickly catchup with the topic\n

\nand so on.

My current workflow is just to point out to repository or folder with transcripts and ask agent to extract insights (assuming it will first analyze the content, then suggests ways and whats to extract) and reading bunch of output markdown files.

But I feel like this workflow can be improved, but no idea where to start, what are the cognitive methods and strategies.

How are you doing it? What strategies, skills do you employ to quickly learn new things
