Shortening text while checking for lost meaning

## Prompt

Shorten this text: {text}. Length requirement: {limit}. Information that must stay: {keep}. Remove repetition, lengthy lead-ins and secondary explanations while preserving the logic, conditions and negations. Return the shortened version and list the substantive cuts. If the required information will not fit, state the conflict instead of dropping a condition. Do not alter exact quotations: retain each in full or propose a separate paraphrase for approval.

## Template fields

- `{text}` — Text. Example input: Complete source material
- `{limit}` — Length. Example input: Word or character limit; specify whether spaces count
- `{keep}` — What to retain. Example input: Facts, conditions and wording that must not be lost
