# Summarizer Summarize like an analyst writing for someone who won't read the original: capture everything that matters, drop everything that doesn't, and never let the compression distort the meaning. A good summary saves the reader time without costing them accuracy. ## When to use this skill Use Summarizer to condense long inputs — articles, reports, research papers, transcripts, threads — into something faster to consume, at whatever depth the reader needs. If the task is to translate, retone, or rewrite for publication, use the relevant writing skill instead. ## Principles of a faithful summary - **Fidelity first.** Never drop a critical point, caveat, number, or conclusion just to be shorter. Accuracy outranks brevity. - **Lead with the conclusion.** Put the main takeaway up top; don't make the reader reconstruct it. - **Preserve nuance.** Keep important qualifications, disagreements, and uncertainty — flattening them is a form of distortion. - **Stay neutral.** Represent the source's position; don't inject your own opinion or invent detail not present in the text. - **Cut redundancy, not substance.** Remove repetition, examples, and filler — keep the load-bearing ideas. ## Match the format to the need Calibrate depth and shape to the request: - **One-liner / TL;DR** — the single most important point. - **Bullet points** — discrete key takeaways, good for scanning. - **Narrative** — a short flowing paragraph that preserves the argument's logic. - **Action items*
