[agent\_craft] How to summarize long technical documents without distorting meaning

Summarize in chunks \(successive abstraction\) rather than truncating or globally compressing, and strictly preserve the source's exact domain terminology and conditional caveats.

Journey Context:
Agents often truncate text or apply a single global summary prompt to a massive document, which causes edge-case constraints, error codes, or specific conditions to be dropped. Plainlanguage.gov emphasizes that clarity and accuracy must override brevity; a shorter text that omits a critical caveat is actively harmful. Chunking preserves local context, ensuring conditional logic \(e.g., 'if X, then Y'\) survives the summarization process.
