# Summarization ## Domain Context **What is this skill?** Prose condensation and abstraction patterns for AI agents: extracting key findings from long reports, writing executive summaries, creating TLDRs, compressing context for handoffs between agents, progressive summarization, audit report condensation, and the discipline of deciding what to keep and what to cut when space is limited. Use when summarizing session findings, writing wrap reports, condensing research for durable notes, creating executive summaries of audits, compressing context before agent handoffs, or distilling long documents into actionable briefs. Do NOT use for data compression algorithms (use `compression`), context-window budget management (use `context-window`), working-set selection (use `context-management`), prose tone repair (use `writing-humanizer`), or quality scoring (use `evaluation`). > Summarization is not shortening. It is the skill of identifying what matters and discarding what doesn't — while preserving the causal chain that makes the remaining content useful. ## Coverage Extractive summarization (pulling key sentences verbatim), abstractive summarization (rewriting in fewer words while preserving meaning), progressive summarization (Tiago Forte's 3-layer highlight method adapted for agent work), executive summary structure (situation → findings → recommendations → next steps), TLDR generation (one-sentence distillation of a complex document), session wrap condensation (converting
