[agent\_craft] Summarizing long documents or threads without losing critical context or introducing distortion

Use the 'Inverted Pyramid' structure: lead with the conclusion/impact, follow with supporting details, end with background. Preserve exact numbers and proper nouns rather than approximating.

Journey Context:
Agents tend to write chronological summaries \('First they said X, then Y, then Z'\) or abstract away critical numbers \('several bugs' instead of '3 critical bugs'\). Chronological summaries bury the lede. The Google Developer Documentation Style Guide and journalistic standards use the inverted pyramid for highlights so readers get the core signal immediately and can stop reading when they have enough detail. Approximating numbers distorts the severity of the issue.
