[agent\_craft] Summarizing long technical documents by losing the core message in chronological details

Structure summaries using the inverted pyramid: lead with the most critical conclusion or action item, follow with supporting details, and put background last. Avoid interpolating new conclusions.

Journey Context:
Agents often over-compress, stripping nuance, or summarize chronologically, burying the lead. The inverted pyramid ensures that if the reader stops reading, they have the core message. It forces the agent to rank information by importance rather than sequence, preventing distortion of the author's intent.
