Turn a Long Document into a One-Page Brief
Added 2026-11-01
Lead with the conclusion, add three supports, end with the decision you need from the reader.
I have a long document and need a one-page brief for my manager. Do: 1) state the conclusion or recommendation in one sentence; 2) give three supporting points, each with a key number or fact; 3) flag the important risk most likely to be missed; 4) state the decision or approval you need and by when; 5) add an 80-word summary for someone who reads only one paragraph. Do not copy sentences from the original.

How to use
一页简报的顺序：结论 → 依据 → 要对方做什么。
Try tweaking it
- Ask for three columns: conclusion, owner, deadline — ready to paste into a table.
- Let it organise only your notes; do not add decisions that were never made.
What you should get
- Task list with owner, deadline and blocker
- Escalations that need a decision, listed separately
Common mistakes
- Feeding raw notes and letting it fill in decisions that were never made.
- Getting owners without deadlines, so no task can be created.
How to check the output
- Every item has an owner and a date — ready to become a task.
- It does not record decisions that were never made.
Where it works
- Good for: turning verbal discussion into owner, deadline and blocker.
- Watch out: let it organise only the notes you supply — never let it infer decisions that were not made.
