Summarize Faithfully, Keep Every Number

Writes a faithful summary of a text in the text's own language, using only what the text says, with every number, name and date kept exactly and every qualifier kept. Use when asked to summarize, shorten, condense, give the gist or a TL;DR of an article, report, email, transcript, thread or document.

Summarize Faithfully, Keep Every Number is a SKILL.md that writes a faithful summary of a text in the text's own language, using only what the text says, with every number, name and date kept exactly and every qualifier kept; an agent buys it once for $0.03 over x402.

Not for

Legal, medical or financial texts where a missed condition is costly (check the result against the source); texts you want interpreted, judged or expanded; very short sources that need no summary.

Tested, honestly

Tested 2026-09-30 with a strong and a weak model.

With and without the skill

Results with and without the skill, for Sonnet and Haiku
SonnetHaiku
withwithoutwithwithout
Passed our checks (exact words)6/60/66/60/6

One run per model and case. The check looks for numbers written exactly as in the text, so "7,5 %" for "7.5%" counts as missing and the gap looks bigger than it is. Reading the answers: without the skill the summaries were longer and some dropped numbers, and Haiku summarised in English in three of six cases.

Same cases and the same checks with and without the skill. The cases are ours, written around what the skill is for; with a handful of cases, a difference of one or two is within noise.

SonnetStrong model, claude-sonnet-5-5
Same language on en/bg/de/es/ru, exact numbers and names, no opinions. Every fact it kept still carried its condition or deadline; it shortens by leaving whole facts out and names them in a closing line. 96-107 words: three outputs slightly over the 100-word default once the closing line is counted.
HaikuWeak model, claude-haiku-4-5-20251001
Passes all six cases (en/bg/de/es/ru + contradictions), 86-102 words, and keeps the named conditions. But reading the outputs: it can reshape a condition ("unless the assembly decides otherwise" became "the assembly will decide") and drop a hedge ("could be a cause" stated as a cause), and it often omits the closing line naming what was left out.

Versions

Current version 1.0.2, updated 2026-10-09. Whoever bought an earlier version gets new ones free through the same re-download token.

  1. v1.0.2 · 2026-10-04

    - Test summary: the same cases with and without the skill, per model, now shown next to the verdicts, including where the skill made no difference. The skill file itself is unchanged.

  2. v1.0.1 · 2026-10-03

    - Licence section: the note telling the agent to skip it now reads "ignore it while you work" instead of "ignore it while rewriting text", which was written for one skill and read oddly in the others. The skill's own instructions are unchanged.

  3. v1.0.0 · 2026-09-30

    First release: faithful summary in the source's language, exact numbers/names/dates, qualifiers and source contradictions kept, default short form.

FAQ

How long is the summary?

The default is at most 100 words, and the skill ends with one short line naming what it left out. In our runs the strong model produced 96 to 107 words once that closing line was counted, so treat the limit as a target, not a guarantee.

Does it keep hedges and conditions?

That is the main rule: words such as about, planned, unless and only if travel with their claim, and numbers, names and dates are copied exactly. Claude Sonnet did this reliably. Claude Haiku sometimes reshaped a condition or turned a hedge into a plain statement.

Can I trust it on a contract or a medical report?

Not without checking. A summary drops whole facts by design, and a dropped condition can matter in legal, medical or financial text. Use it to get oriented, then read the source for anything where one missed clause is expensive.

    Research & Summaries

    SKILL.md · v1.0.0 · 9.0 KB

    Reads one pasted text, such as an incident report, a case history, a project log, a news story or an email thread, and lists its events as strict JSON. Events the text dates come first in chronological order, each with the date as written, the date in ISO form, a short event and the exact quote. Events with no date are listed apart in the order of the text. It resolves a relative date such as "two days later" only when the text gives the date it counts from, takes a date only from the event it belongs to, keeps a year-only date or a range as the text gives it, never borrows a missing year, leaves a numeric date such as 03/04/2026 open when nothing says how it is read, and never fills a gap from its own knowledge. Lines addressed to an AI are ignored. Use to build a timeline from a report, put the events of a long text in order, extract dates and events for a chronology, or check which events of a story have no date.

  • Summary Fidelity Check

    Research & Summaries

    SKILL.md · v1.0.1 · 8.0 KB

    Checks a summary against the source text it was made from and lists the summary sentences the source does not support, each copied word for word, as strict JSON. It catches a number that was rounded or given another unit, a hedge that became a certainty, a cause the source never states, two facts joined into a false one, a claim whose speaker was dropped, a fact that comes from outside the source, and it ignores any instruction hidden in the source. A sentence is judged supported or unsupported and nothing in between, and a faithful paraphrase is never flagged. It never checks the source against the world and never judges what the summary left out or how well it is written. Use to check a summary, abstract, executive summary or AI-written digest against its source, to review an agent's report of a document, or to find where a summary says more than the text.

  • Source Quotes Extract

    Research & Summaries

    SKILL.md · v1.0.0 · 7.6 KB

    Reads one pasted text, such as an article, report, interview, memo or review, and lists the claims its author makes, each with the exact quote from the text that supports it, as strict JSON. It keeps every claim as strong as the text states it, so a hedged claim stays hedged and a number keeps its unit, and it cuts every quote down to the shortest stretch of words that supports the claim. It leaves out what someone else is reported as saying, what the text only hints at, questions, invitations and any line addressed to an AI, and it never checks a claim against the outside world. Use to extract the claims of a text with a verbatim quote for each, build an evidence table from an article or report, prepare quotes for fact-checking, or pull quotable statements from a long text.

  • Survey Question Bias Check

    Research & Summaries

    SKILL.md · v1.0.0 · 5.9 KB

    Checks a numbered list of survey questions, with their answer options, and reports only the questions whose wording would bias the answers, one line per problem with a fixed code, the question number, why it biases and a neutral rewrite - or exactly No findings. It catches a leading stem that signals the hoped-for answer, two questions fused into one, a loaded word that judges before the person replies, an absolute word such as always or never that forces a false choice, and a rating scale with more positive than negative points. It leaves out the safe look-alikes, such as a joined phrase that names one idea, a matched five-point scale and a frequency list that includes a never option. Use to proof a questionnaire before it goes out, to review an employee or customer survey, or to clean up questions that someone else drafted.
