Distill a long PDF into actionable insights

You have a 50-page report. You don't need to read all of it — you need the parts that affect decisions.

Works best in: Claude

Distill this long document into the parts that matter for action, not the parts that are interesting trivia.

Document:
{{paste content or describe what it is + key sections}}

What I'm using it for:
{{a decision, a presentation, a strategy, a debate}}

Output:
1. **The 3 things in this doc that change what I'd do** — actionable insights, not summaries
2. **The numbers I should remember** — specific stats / data points worth citing
3. **The framework or model** worth borrowing (if any)
4. **What to skip** — sections I don't need to read
5. **The one chart / page / paragraph** that captures 80% of the value, if I had to bookmark just one

Don't summarize section by section. Tell me what's load-bearing for my use case.
