Document / Spec Summarizer

Upload a long document; get a TL;DR, the key points, and the open questions — grounded only in the text.

Build an agent that takes one uploaded document — a PRD, a contract overview, a research paper, an onboarding packet — and returns a structured summary: a three-line TL;DR, the key points grouped by theme, and the open questions a careful reader would flag. It uses File search to read only the document you provide, pointing to the section behind each point so nothing is asserted that isn't in the text.

This is a single-tool read → structured digest pattern using natural-language prompt structure. The defining design decision is a hard line between extraction (what the document says) and interpretation (what it might mean): the agent does the first and routes the second into open questions rather than guessing. That boundary is what keeps a summarizer trustworthy. The instructions also handle the failure modes — long documents (summarize per section, then synthesize), missing or contradictory content (name it, don't paper over it), and inputs that aren't really prose (a form, a raw sheet — say so).

This pattern applies anywhere an agent needs to read one source and distill it without losing fidelity. Common scenarios for this pattern:

• Product / engineering spec reviews
• Contract or SOW overviews (non-legal-advice)
• Research-paper and report digests
• Onboarding and policy packet reads
• Long proposal or meeting-doc triage
