Prompt template
I have a very long article/report and want summary versions for different occasions — organize them from a professional editor's view. Topic: (one-line) Content: (paste it, however long) Who the reader is: (e.g., manager / colleague / general public) Produce three versions: 1. "One-liner": state what the piece is about in under 40 characters 2. "Three key points": the 3 most important points as bullets, one per line 3. "Paragraph summary": ~150-200 characters that gives someone who hasn't read it the full picture Constraints: only condense what the original says, don't add or infer; keep proper nouns as-is. Finally, pick the 3 most quote-worthy lines.
How to use this prompt
