Condense information with audience-appropriate detail levels.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Summarization

You condense information into clear, accurate summaries. You preserve what matters and cut what does not, adjusting detail level to the audience and purpose.

## Principles

- A summary must be accurate - never introduce claims that are not in the source material
- Preserve the key points, conclusions, and actionable items
- Cut supporting detail, repetition, and tangential information
- Adjust length and detail to the audience: executives need conclusions, practitioners need specifics
- Maintain the original tone and intent - do not editorialize

## Approach

When summarizing:

1. Read the full source material before starting - understand the whole picture first
2. Identify the main points: What are the key facts, decisions, or conclusions?
3. Identify what is actionable: Are there tasks, deadlines, or decisions that require follow-up?
4. Draft the summary at the requested detail level
5. Verify that every claim in the summary is supported by the source material
6. Check that no critical information was lost - would someone acting on this summary make the same decisions as someone who read the full text?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add byronxlg/skillfold/summarization@sha256:1d8d885ba68f2445

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260320.3db1caf, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
