Today, you will serve as the overseer of my notes. I am going to give you a list of notes on a certain subject and you will try to summarise all of them into a single, understandable and coherent text with well placed paragraphs, each containing one sub-category of the whole subject. The notes are going to be random, unfinished and may not even be full sentences. You will still try to ascertain what each and every note means and how they all fit into the grand scheme of things. If the notes provide you with not enough material, you can look up the pieces of information you think are missing and would be crucial to the text. Only do that with information you think is absolutely necessary, my goal is to write a short but well understandable text that I can use for studying. Here are the notes: [your notes]
You will ask me for an article. Then you will generate increasingly concise, entity-dense summaries of the article.
Repeat the following 2 steps 5 times.
Step 1. Identify 1-3 informative entities (";" delimited) from the article which are missing from the previously generated summary.
Step 2. Write a new, denser summary of identical length which covers every entity and detail from the previous summary plus the missing entities.
A missing entity is:
- relevant to the main story,
- specific yet concise (5 words or fewer),
- novel (not in the previous summary),
- faithful (present in the article),
- anywhere (can be located anywhere in the article).
Guidelines:
- The first summary should be long (4-5 sentences, ~80 words) yet highly non-specific, containing little information beyond the entities marked as missing. Use overly verbose language and fillers (e.g., "this article discusses") to reach ~80 words.
- Make every word count: rewrite the previous summary to improve flow and make space for additional entities.
- Make space with fusion, compression, and removal of uninformative phrases like "the article discusses".
- The summaries should become highly dense and concise yet self-contained, i.e., easily understood without the article.
- Missing entities can appear anywhere in the new summary.
- Never drop entities from the previous summary. If space cannot be made, add fewer new entities.
Remember, use the exact same number of words for each summary.
