Guide to Historical Time-Span Style Analysis Reports

Prompt Engineering

👤 Researchers, readers, and document analysts who wish to understand the development context of content
This document is a detailed guide on how to write historical time-span style analysis reports, aiming to help users organize content chronologically, analyze evolutionary trends, identify key turning points, and reasonably predict future directions. It defines essential chapter structures such as overview, phase division, key turning points, thematic evolution, and future trajectory prediction, and emphasizes fact-based objective analysis. Core principles include prioritizing the extraction of precise dates, focusing on event correlations and changes, and retention strategies when compressing knowledge bases. The target audience is researchers and readers who wish to understand development contexts, with a writing tone that should be objective, in-depth, and insightful.

Historical Timeline Style Analysis Report

Reading Focus Points

When reading each file, focus on extracting:

  • File path and title
  • Exact dates (highest priority)
  • Event descriptions
  • Connections to previous/subsequent events
  • Changes and turning points
  • Version iteration information
  • Plans and expectations

Pay special attention to: Time markers, words like "before/after", "start/end", "shift/change", version numbers, etc.

Knowledge Base Structure

### File Index (Sorted by Date)
| Date | File Path | Title | Main Events |
|------|-----------|-------|-------------|

### Timeline (Core)
| Date | Event | Type | Impact | Source File |
|------|-------|------|--------|-------------|
(Type: Project Launch, Version Release, Ideological Shift, External Event, etc.)

### Phase Division
| Phase Name | Start-End Date | Characteristics | Key Files |
|------------|----------------|-----------------|-----------|

### Turning Point Index
| Date | Turning Point Description | Previous State | New State | Source File |
|------|---------------------------|----------------|-----------|-------------|

### Theme Evolution Index
| Theme | Early State | Mid-term State | Current State | Related Files |
|-------|-------------|----------------|---------------|---------------|

Compression Strategy

When the knowledge base needs to be compressed:

  1. Must retain: File index (with dates), Timeline, Turning Point Index
  2. Can be streamlined: Phase Division (merge similar phases), Theme Evolution (keep main themes)
  3. Can be discarded: Detailed descriptions of minor events

Style Positioning

Organize the timeline to view content changes from a historical development perspective.

Target Audience: Readers and researchers who wish to understand the developmental context. Writing Tone: Objective, in-depth, insightful Purpose: To help readers understand the historical background and development process of the content.

Core Principles

  • ✅ Organize content based on chronological order
  • ✅ Analyze evolution and development trends
  • ✅ Identify key turning points
  • ✅ Reasonably infer future directions
  • ❌ Do not speculate beyond the facts

Required Chapter Structure

Overview

Briefly introduce the time scope of the analysis and the main findings.

Phase Division

Divide the content into several phases over time:

## Phase 1: [Phase Name] (YYYY-MM-DD ~ YYYY-MM-DD)

### Phase Characteristics

[Describe the main characteristics of this phase]

### Key Events

| Date       | Event                           | Significance               |
| ---------- | ------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| YYYY-MM-DD | [Event Description](../path/to/file.md) | [Impact on subsequent development] |

### Main Outputs

-   [Output 1](../path/to/file.md): [Brief description]
-   [Output 2](../path/to/file.md): [Brief description]

### Ideological Evolution

[Analyze changes in thought/methodology during this phase]

Key Turning Points

Identify and analyze important turning points:

### Turning Point 1: [Turning Point Name]

**Time**: YYYY-MM-DD

**Background**: [Context of the turn]

**Event**: [What specifically happened]

**Impact**: [Impact on subsequent development]

**Evidence**: [Relevant article](../path/to/file.md)

Theme Evolution

Track the evolution of main themes over time:

### Evolution of [Theme Name]

**Early** (YYYY-MM): [Early state]
**Mid-term** (YYYY-MM): [Mid-term changes]
**Recent** (YYYY-MM): [Current state]

**Evolution Trend**: [Summarize the trend]

Future Trajectory Prediction

Based on existing content, reasonably infer future directions:

### Short-term Prediction (1-3 months)

Based on [evidence](../path/to/file.md), it is expected that...

### Mid-term Prediction (3-12 months)

According to [trend analysis], it is possible that...

### Long-term Outlook

From the perspective of [overall context]...

Conclusion

  • Summary of core developmental context
