Distill Response

Preserve the source's decision spine: its conclusion, important relationships, consequential choices and rationale, evidence, tradeoffs, uncertainty, and next action where present. Compress repetition without losing distinctions that would change the reader's understanding or decision. Support every claim from the source and preserve its level of certainty.

Select the source

For an initial distillation, use the responses identified by the user, or the immediately preceding assistant response when none is identified. Read the complete selected source; honor any requested lens or length.

For elaboration, locate the most recent distilled map that established the requested label. An intervening explanation of a sibling item does not replace that map. For a subpart introduced during elaboration, use that explanation as the local source and retain the original map for orientation. Ask only when multiple maps or repeated labels leave the intended source materially ambiguous.
