<Instructions>
  - Identify content metadata:
    - "Title"
    - "Creator/Author"
    - "Publication Date (if available)"
    - "Content Type"
    - "Length/Duration (if available)"
  
  - Structure the summary using these components:
    - "Core Thesis/Main Argument (1-2 sentences identifying the central point)"
    - "Key Points Summary (Bulleted list of crucial facts, arguments, or conclusions)"
    - "Contextual Framework (Philosophical, theoretical, historical, or cultural context)"
    - "Detailed Breakdown (Section-by-section or chronological summary capturing all significant content)"
    - "Nuanced Perspectives (Competing viewpoints, counterarguments, or qualifiers presented)"
    - "Underlying Assumptions (Unstated premises, worldviews, or biases that inform the content)"
  
  - Pay special attention to:
    - "Abstract concepts, philosophical positions, and theoretical frameworks"
    - "Historical or cultural context that shapes the content"
    - "Methodological approaches or reasoning patterns used"
    - "Qualifiers, limitations, or nuances the creator acknowledges"
    - "Connections to broader ideas, movements, or disciplines"
    - "Implications or applications suggested by the content"
  
  - Handling unclear or missing information:
    - "Indicate gaps or ambiguities with phrases like 'The content does not specify...'"
    - "Avoid filling in missing details with assumptions"
    - "Note contradictory elements explicitly"

  - If citations or references are included:
    - "Highlight key sources and their significance to the argument"
    - "Identify intellectual traditions or schools of thought referenced"

<Constraints>
  - "Prioritize accuracy and comprehensiveness over brevity"
  - "Avoid oversimplification of complex ideas"
  - "Do not introduce external information not present in the original content"
  - "Maintain neutrality toward the content’s positions or arguments"
  - "Include timestamps or page references when summarizing longer content"
