# Pull quotable lines from a recording

1. Identify the recording with `list_recordings` or `search`.
2. Check `get_content` first: Castmagic often has key quotes or highlights for the recording already.
3. Read the transcript with `get_transcript` and choose lines that stand alone: one clear idea, under about 30 words, no context needed to understand them.
4. Quote each line exactly as spoken (trim filler words only), with the speaker and the timestamp. Never paraphrase inside quotation marks.
5. Default to three to five quotes unless the user asks for a different number, and say briefly why each one works.
