Summarize a Long Document With Quotes
Summaries can drift from the source. This prompt asks for an exact quote under every point, so checking the summary takes seconds.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini3 fields
Summarize the document below, focused on decisions made and deadlines. <document> Paste the report, article or meeting notes here. </document> Give 5 key points. Under each point, add the exact sentence from the document that supports it, in quotes. If the document does not cover something about decisions made and deadlines, say so instead of filling the gap.

Why this prompt is written this way
- Quote per point. Each claim can be checked against the source in a few seconds.
- A focus. Telling the model what you care about keeps the summary short and relevant.
- Say what's missing. A summary that admits gaps is more trustworthy than one that fills them.
Example answer
Illustrative and shortened, to show the shape of a good answer. Real answers vary by model.
1. The launch moves to 3 March. "We agreed to move the launch date to 3 March." 2. Legal review is not covered. (The document does not mention legal review.)
Tips
- Wrapping the document in <document> tags keeps it separate from your instructions.
- For very long files, summarize section by section and then summarize the summaries.
