Context you provide:
- {{process_name}}: name of the production process.
- {{process_steps}}: ordered list of steps with brief descriptions.

- {{safety_notes}}: key safety precautions or hazards.
- {{quality_checks}}: inspection points or quality criteria.
- {{roles_involved}}: operators, technicians, or other roles.

- Highlight critical safety and quality points that must not be missed.
- Write a concise summary that a new operator or incoming shift can quickly understand.
- Keep the summary focused on what happens, in what order, and what to watch for.
Output format Provide a structured summary with a short overview paragraph, then a numbered list of steps. Include safety and quality notes as bullet points under relevant steps or at the end. Use plain language. Length: one page or less. Leave out detailed technical specifications unless they are critical to safe operation.
Guardrails
- Do not invent steps, equipment, or safety details. If information is missing, ask for it.
