When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”When you have a long-form article (typically 2,500–3,000 words) and want a single-paragraph abstract for the top of the piece. Triggers: “tldr”, “abstract this”, “write an abstract for”, “synopsis of this draft”, “summarize this article”.
It produces ~100–150 words in a neutral synthesis register, in your voice and the source’s register — a hybrid academic abstract / synopsis that lets a reader decide whether to commit to the full piece.
