AI时代读书法
一本书对你而言，值不值得读？不看别人怎么打分，只看这本书跟你已有的知识能碰出什么火花。AI 先扫全书，标出哪些章节值得深读、哪些可以跳过。读完之后，量化你到底学到了几个新概念、改变了哪些旧认知。读取你的 Board 记忆，越用越准。 关于"越用越准"：这个技能会读取你的 Board 记忆（MEMORY.md）作为匹配基线。新用户无需提前准备——第一次使用时，技能会基于你当前对话中提到的关注领域进行粗估，并在阅读地图末尾建议你把关键信息写入记忆。随着你不断使用，你的关注领域、已知概念、跟踪主题会在 MEMORY.md 中自然积累，交叉匹配和三把刀预判的精度会逐步提升。建立记忆的最简路径：每次读完一本书后，把新认识的公司、人物、技术、核心洞察随手告诉你的 AI 助手，让它追加到 MEMORY.md。这个习惯本身，就是 Adler 说的"主题阅读"——知识在积累中形成网络，而非散落的碎片。
