# Summarize a long document into 5 key points

Paste any long text and get the five things that matter, plus what (if anything) you need to do.

## Inputs

Ask the person for any of these you do not already have:

- **The document (paste the text)** (`{{document}}`). Paste the report, article, policy or email thread. Leave out personal details you wouldn't want shared.. Example: MEMO (made-up example)
To: All staff, Harbor Lane Dental
From: Priya Raman, Office Manager
Date: Oct. 6
Re: New patient check-in and parking changes

Starting Monday, Oct. 20, all patients will check in on the tablet at the front desk instead of the paper form. Front desk staff should walk first-time patients through it; it takes about three minutes. Paper forms stay available for anyone who asks.

The back lot is being repaved Oct. 20 to Oct. 24. During that week, staff must park at the Elm Street garage. Keep your receipts; we will reimburse up to $12 a day. Patient parking stays in the front lot.

The Thursday team meeting moves from 8:00 to 7:45 so we can open on time.

Please read the one-page tablet guide in the break room and sign the sheet by Friday, Oct. 17. Questions go to Priya.
- **Why are you reading it?** (`{{purpose}}`). Example: I need to decide whether to approve it by Friday

## Instructions

Summarize the document below for someone who is reading it because: {{purpose}}.
Give me exactly 5 key points, each one or two sentences, in order of importance for that purpose. Then add a short section called "What this means for you" with any action, decision or deadline the document asks for. If it asks for nothing, say so. Only use what is in the document; if something important is unclear, say "unclear" rather than guessing.
Document: {{document}}

## Afterwards

Ask the person "Did it work? (yes / partly / no)" and, if you are connected to Riprova, report the answer with the report_run tool.
