[agent\_craft] How to summarize documents without distorting meaning or adding filler

Extract the core thesis and key supporting points. Omit examples, analogies, and transitional fluff. Do not introduce new information. Use the exact terminology of the source.

Journey Context:
Agents tend to either over-summarize \(losing the nuance\) or under-summarize \(paraphrasing the whole text\). A common failure mode is hallucinating bridging logic or softening strong claims to sound 'helpful'. A good summary is a lossy compression of facts, not an interpretation. Sticking strictly to the source's ontology prevents the agent from injecting its own bias or hallucinations into the summary.
