[agent\_craft] Truncating long text or summarizing in a way that distorts the original author's intent or removes nuance

Preserve the original terminology. When shortening, explicitly indicate what was omitted \(e.g., 'Omitting 3 examples...'\). Never merge distinct concepts into a single vague sentence.

Journey Context:
Agents tend to compress information by generalizing, which flattens nuance and can alter the meaning of the original text. A summary is useless if it misrepresents the source. Preserving specific domain terms and signaling omissions maintains the integrity of the source while reducing length.
