+## Context
+
+KnowledgeHub currently produces flat 2-4 sentence summaries via a single LLM call that returns `{"summary": "...", "stars": N}`. The summary is stored as a text field on the `entries` collection and rendered in EntryCard. For longer or more complex articles, users lack a quick-scan option — they must read the full summary paragraph to decide if the content is worth opening.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:**
+- Add optional key takeaways (up to 5 bullet points) to the summarization output
+- Let the LLM decide whether takeaways add value — omit them for short/simple articles
+- Display takeaways in the feed UI when present
+- Maintain the single-LLM-call-per-entry cost model
+
+**Non-Goals:**
+- Changing the summary itself (length, format, quality)
+- Adding takeaways to the ScoreOnly path (fragments are already short)
+- Retroactively generating takeaways for existing entries
+- Making takeaways user-editable
+
+## Decisions
+
+### 1. Optional JSON field with explicit LLM instruction
+
+The prompt will instruct the LLM to include a `"takeaways"` array only when the article is long or complex enough that bullet points add value beyond the summary. The JSON contract becomes `{"summary": "...", "stars": N}` or `{"summary": "...", "stars": N, "takeaways": ["...", "..."]}`.
+
+**Alternatives considered:**
+- Always require takeaways → wasteful for short articles, adds noise
+- Separate LLM call for takeaways → doubles cost, violates single-call design
+- Content-length threshold in Go code → the LLM is better positioned to judge whether takeaways add value
+
+### 2. Store takeaways as JSON array field
+
+The `entries` collection gets a `takeaways` JSON field (nullable). This keeps each takeaway as a discrete string, making frontend rendering trivial (`{#each takeaways as t}`) and avoids parsing markdown bullets.
+
+**Alternatives considered:**
+- Append bullets to the summary text field → harder to style separately, can't toggle display
+- Separate `takeaways` collection → over-engineered for a simple array
+
+### 3. Graceful parsing — treat missing takeaways as empty
+
+`parseSummaryResult` will use a `[]string` pointer or check for the key. If `takeaways` is absent or null in the JSON, the field is stored as null/empty. Existing entries and responses without takeaways continue to work unchanged.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- **LLM compliance** → Some models may always or never include takeaways despite instructions. Mitigation: the field is optional, so both behaviors produce valid output. We can tune the prompt if a specific model misbehaves.
+- **Prompt length increase** → Adding takeaway instructions slightly increases the system prompt. Mitigation: negligible — a few extra sentences.
+- **UI clutter on mobile** → Takeaways add vertical space to cards. Mitigation: render them in a compact style (small text, tight line-height) and only when present.

+## Why
+
+Article summaries are flat 2-4 sentence blobs. For longer or more complex articles, users must read the entire summary to decide if the content is worth clicking through. A scannable list of key takeaways — inspired by the tldr skill's format — would let users triage faster, especially on mobile. Not every article needs takeaways though; short articles are already well-served by the summary alone.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- The LLM prompt is updated to optionally produce key takeaways (up to 5 bullet points) alongside the summary. Takeaways are produced only when the article is complex or long enough that the summary alone doesn't cover the key points.
+- The `entries` collection gains a `takeaways` field (JSON array of strings, nullable).
+- The `SummaryResult` struct and JSON parsing are extended to handle the optional `takeaways` field.
+- The feed UI entry cards conditionally render takeaways as a bullet list below the summary when present.
+- The ScoreOnly path is unaffected — fragments don't get takeaways.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+
+_None — this extends existing capabilities._
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+
+- `ai-processing`: The summarization prompt and result format change to optionally include takeaways. The combined LLM call contract expands from `{summary, stars}` to `{summary, stars, takeaways?}`.
+- `feed-view`: Entry cards conditionally display takeaways below the summary when the entry has them.
+
+## Impact
+
+- **Backend**: `internal/ai/summarizer.go` — prompt text, `SummaryResult` struct, JSON parsing
+- **Backend**: `cmd/knowledgehub/collections.go` — add `takeaways` field to `entries` collection
+- **Frontend**: `ui/src/lib/components/EntryCard.svelte` — render takeaways list
+- **Tests**: Update AI summarizer tests for new JSON shape; existing tests must still pass when takeaways are absent
+- **No breaking changes**: The field is optional/nullable. Existing entries without takeaways continue to work unchanged.

+## MODIFIED Requirements
+
+### Requirement: Combined summarization and scoring
+The system SHALL perform summarization, scoring, and optional takeaway extraction in a single LLM call per entry to minimize API costs and latency. The LLM SHALL include a `takeaways` array (up to 5 bullet points) only when the article is long or complex enough that the summary alone does not capture all key points. When the summary sufficiently covers the content, takeaways SHALL be omitted.
+
+#### Scenario: Single prompt produces summary and score
+- **WHEN** a new entry is processed
+- **THEN** one OpenRouter API call returns both the summary text and the star rating
+
+#### Scenario: Long article produces takeaways
+- **WHEN** a new entry is processed and the article is long or covers multiple distinct points

+
+#### Scenario: Short article omits takeaways
+- **WHEN** a new entry is processed and the article is short or has a single clear point
+- **THEN** the LLM response contains only `summary` and `stars` with no `takeaways` field, and the entry's takeaways field is stored as null
+
+### Requirement: Summarize new entries
+The system SHALL generate a 2-4 line summary for each new entry using the configured LLM via OpenRouter. The summary SHALL capture the key points of the article. When the LLM also returns takeaways, they SHALL be stored in the entry's `takeaways` field as a JSON array of strings.

+#### Scenario: Entry summarized with takeaways
+- **WHEN** a new entry is created with raw_content of a long research article covering multiple findings
+- **THEN** the system stores the summary in the summary field and an array of key takeaway strings in the takeaways field
+
+#### Scenario: LLM unavailable during summarization
+- **WHEN** OpenRouter returns an error during summarization
+- **THEN** the entry is created with summary set to null, takeaways set to null, and a "pending" processing status, to be retried on the next cycle
