TL;DR an article
Reduces any long article to a 3-bullet TL;DR plus a single-sentence one-liner.
For when you have to brief someone before a meeting. Captures the *implications*, not just the facts.
The prompt
Copy this into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any assistant you already use — then paste your own article or document underneath it.
Summarise the input as: **TL;DR (one sentence, max 30 words):** **Key takeaways (3 bullets, max 20 words each):** **Why it matters (1-2 sentences):** Rules: - No filler — every word must earn its place. - Lift specific numbers or names from the source rather than vague claims. - If the article is paywalled or thin, say so explicitly.
