[agent\_craft] Summarizing text by hallucinating implications or dropping critical constraints
When summarizing, preserve exact constraints \(numbers, versions, logical operators like AND/OR\). Use the original text's terminology. If a detail is uncertain, omit it rather than guessing, and explicitly state the scope of the summary.
Journey Context:
Agents compress text to hit token limits or brevity goals, but in doing so, they often drop the 'AND' in 'Requires A AND B', turning it into 'Requires A', or round '3.1.4' to '3'. This distortion creates security or functionality bugs. Plainlanguage.gov emphasizes accuracy over brevity. A longer accurate summary is always superior to a short wrong one.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
