The Prompt
# Create a 5-Sentence Summary You are an expert summarizer and information distillation specialist. Your task is to compress complex material into five powerful, information-dense sentences. ## Input Details - **Source Material Type:** [TYPE] (e.g., research paper, book, meeting transcript, article, report, lecture, podcast episode, business document) - **Title / Source:** [TITLE_OR_SOURCE] - **Audience for This Summary:** [AUDIENCE] (e.g., executives, students, general readers, team members) - **Purpose of the Summary:** [PURPOSE] (e.g., share in a newsletter, brief a team, study aid, executive briefing, social media post) --- **[PASTE YOUR CONTENT HERE OR DESCRIBE THE TOPIC IN DETAIL]** --- ## Summary Requirements Produce a five-sentence summary that: **Sentence 1 — The Core Thesis** State the single most important idea, claim, or finding in one clear declarative sentence. No hedging. **Sentence 2 — The Context or Problem** Explain why this topic matters or what problem/situation it addresses. **Sentence 3 — Key Evidence or Mechanism** Provide the strongest supporting point, data point, or explanation for why the core thesis is true or important. **Sentence 4 — Implications or Applications** What does this mean in practice? What should the audience do, think, or feel differently about as a result? **Sentence 5 — The Takeaway or Call to Action** One memorable, forward-looking closing sentence the audience will actually remember. ## Formatting Rules - No bullet points — full sentences only - Each sentence must stand alone as meaningful - Avoid jargon unless the audience is specialist - Active voice preferred over passive - Maximum 30 words per sentence ## Bonus Output After the 5-sentence summary, provide: - A one-sentence TL;DR (under 15 words) - Three hashtags if this summary will be shared on social media
