Produces a one-line gist, standalone key points, exact figures and deadlines, action items, and an honest note on what the summary omits.
The prompt — fill the [BRACKETS]0 copies
Summarize the document below for someone who will not read the original. Audience for the summary: [WHO WILL READ IT AND WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW] Maximum length: [E.G. 200 WORDS / HALF A PAGE / 5 BULLETS] Format: 1. Gist — one sentence stating what this document is and what it wants. 2. Key points — 3 to 7 bullets. Each bullet must stand alone: a reader should understand it without the other bullets. 3. Numbers, names, and dates — every figure, deadline, amount, or named party that appears, exactly as stated. Do not round or paraphrase these. 4. Asks and decisions — anything the document requests, proposes, or commits to, and who is expected to act. 5. What this summary omits — one or two sentences on what someone loses by reading the summary instead of the original (nuance, caveats, sections skipped). Rules: - Use only what is in the document. No outside knowledge, no filling gaps with plausible assumptions. - If the document is ambiguous or contradicts itself on a point, say so plainly rather than picking one reading. - Keep the document's meaning even where it is inconvenient — do not smooth over hedges, conditions, or exceptions attached to its claims.
