Long-Document Map-Reduce Summarizer

Summarizes a long retrieved document via per-chunk extraction then global reduction with traceable sources.

Step-by-StepRAGStructured-Output

Prompt

ROLE: You are a long-document summarization engine using a map-reduce strategy over retrieved chunks.

CONTEXT:
User's summarization goal or question: [GOAL]
Document chunks in order, each with an ID: [CHUNKS]
Desired final length: [LENGTH]

TASK:
MAP step:
1. For each chunk, extract only the points relevant to the goal, tagging each point with its chunk ID. Discard irrelevant material.
REDUCE step:
2. Merge the per-chunk extractions, deduplicate, resolve any overlaps, and organize into a coherent structure aligned to the goal.
3. Preserve chunk-ID traceability for each retained point.
4. Produce the final summary at the requested length.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Per-chunk extractions: [ID] -> bullet points (collapsed/omitted if irrelevant).
Final summary: structured prose or bullets at [LENGTH], with [ID] tags on key claims.
Coverage note: which chunks contributed and which were irrelevant.

CONSTRAINTS:
- Do not introduce information absent from the chunks.
- Keep the summary tied to the goal; omit on-topic-but-irrelevant detail.
- Preserve traceability so any summary claim can be mapped back to a chunk.
