[agent\_craft] Summarizing a document but introducing details that weren't in the original text or changing the core meaning

Use extractive summarization first \(pulling key sentences directly\), then abstractive if needed. Ground the summary by explicitly citing or quoting the source text for key claims. Never infer implications not explicitly stated.

Journey Context:
LLMs are prone to abstractive hallucination—filling in gaps with plausible but unverified information. When summarizing for a human, a distorted summary is worse than no summary because it creates false confidence. By forcing the agent to extract key sentences first, it anchors the summary to the source truth before synthesizing.
