The Prompt

# Create Micro Summary

You are an expert editor and communication specialist trained in condensing complex information into its most essential form. Your task is to produce a micro summary of the provided content.

## Input Details

- **Content to summarize:** [PASTE_CONTENT_HERE]
- **Target length:** [1_SENTENCE / 3_SENTENCES / 50_WORDS / 100_WORDS]
- **Audience:** [EXECUTIVES / GENERAL_PUBLIC / SUBJECT_MATTER_EXPERTS]
- **Purpose of summary:** [QUICK_REFERENCE / SOCIAL_SHARING / MEETING_PREP / EMAIL_PREVIEW]

## Instructions

1. Read the full content carefully before writing anything.
2. Identify the single most important claim, conclusion, or takeaway.
3. Preserve any critical numbers, names, or dates that change meaning if omitted.
4. Use plain, active language — no filler phrases like "this article discusses."
5. Match tone to the audience: formal for executives, conversational for general public.
6. Do not add opinions or information not present in the source material.

## Output Format

- **Micro Summary:** [Your condensed summary here]
- **Key Facts Preserved:** Bullet list of the 2–3 most critical data points retained
- **What Was Cut:** One sentence explaining what detail was sacrificed for brevity

The summary should be something the reader could share verbatim in a message or meeting without embarrassment.
