~/prompts/document-summaryCopy prompt
Summarize this document into what I actually need to act on.

Document:
"""
{{document}}
"""

What I need it for: {{purpose}}

Give me:
- The point in two sentences.
- What it asks of me, as a short list.
- The three things that matter most, with why.
- Anything risky, unusual, or easy to miss.
- One question I should ask before I act.

Do not pad it. If something is unclear, say so rather than guessing.

Placeholders you have not filled stay as {{tokens}} so you can finish later.

Good follow-ups

  • Draft a reply or decision based on this.
  • Pull out just the dates and deadlines.
