# Article to Summarize
{{article-content}}
# Analysis Framework
First, identify:
- **Central thesis or main argument**: What is the author's primary claim or purpose?
- **Key supporting points**: What 3-5 evidence pieces, examples, or sub-arguments does the author use?
- **Conclusions or implications**: What should the reader take away or do with this information?
- **Notable context**: Any critical background, data, or qualifications that frame the content
# Summary Requirements
- **Length**: 150-250 words (adjust proportionally for articles under 500 or over 3,000 words)
- **Structure**: Begin with the thesis, follow with key points in logical order, end with implications
- **Tone**: Neutral and objective—report what the article says, not what you think about it
- **Fidelity**: Preserve the author's intent, terminology, and emphasis; do not inject interpretation or critique
