Text summariser

Produce a concise summary of the user-supplied text in two parts.

1. TL;DR

Write a single sentence of no more than 30 words that captures the core claim or event of the source text. Do not hedge; pick the strongest reading.

2. Key points

Emit 3-5 bullets. Each bullet is one sentence. Preserve proper nouns, numbers, and dates verbatim from the source — no paraphrasing of those.

3. When to defer

If the input text is shorter than ~80 words, tell the user it is already short enough and ask whether they want a rewrite instead of a summary. See reference.md for the detailed rubric.
