[agent\_craft] Summarizing long text without distorting meaning or hallucinating facts

Use extractive anchoring. When generating an abstractive summary, ensure every key claim maps directly to a specific phrase in the source text. Do not introduce concepts, even if logically implied, unless explicitly requested.

Journey Context:
Pure abstractive summarization by LLMs often introduces subtle shifts in tone, drops edge cases, or hallucinates plausible-sounding but unverified details. Pure extractive summarization \(copy-pasting sentences\) is safe but disjointed. The optimal tradeoff is abstractive generation constrained by extractive verification: write fluently, but strictly forbid any entity or relationship not explicitly present in the source.
