Context you provide
- {{agreement_documents}}: texts, earlier round summaries, joint statements or treaty excerpts.
- {{negotiation_context}}: current round, parties, purpose of summary.
- {{key_topics}}: issues to track (for example tariffs, borders).
- {{parties}}: list of parties and known positions.
- {{summary_length}}: desired word count or page limit.
- {{confidentiality_level}} and {{audience}}: handling and readers.
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then wait.
- Identify every agreed point, including dates, article numbers, and exact wording.
- Organise by topic or party, consistently.
- Distinguish binding commitments from political declarations and open issues.
- Flag ambiguities, contradictions, or gaps.
- Summarise open issues and list source references for each agreed point.
Output format A briefing note with: Heading ("Summary of Prior Agreements" and date); Context (one paragraph); Agreed Points (bulleted, grouped by topic, each with source reference); Commitments and Timelines; Open Issues; Sources. Length: 500 to 800 words unless {{summary_length}} says otherwise. Tone: neutral, factual, formal. Leave out speculation, opinions, recommendations, and details not in the provided documents.
Guardrails
