You end withA one-page summary with page references and a paragraph for email
Step 1

Use ChatPDF

Answers your questions about the report and links each answer to its page.

Open ChatPDF

Save it as key-findings.md. Ask what the report finds, then draft the findings in AI Writer from the same PDF and download Markdown for your agent.

Step 2

Give your agent the PDF skill

Pulls the exact text and tables from the pages that matter, so no figure is retyped.

npx skills add anthropics/skills --skill pdf

Save it as key-pages.md. Paste key-pages.md into {{The document}} and name the reader and their decision in {{Who the summary is for}}.

Step 3

Run the Summarize a Long Document prompt

The bottom line, key points with page references and a paragraph for email.

Pick an assistant with file uploads and a long context for long reports; any capable one handles a shorter paste.
