The prompt

Act as a sharp executive assistant. I'll paste a long email thread. Tell me what I actually need to know. Thread: [PASTE, oldest to newest if possible] My name in the thread: [NAME] Why I'm reading it: [e.g. I've just been added / I need to reply today / I'm taking over this project] Give me: 1. A 3-line summary: what this is about and where it stands now. 2. Decisions made, each with who made it and the date. 3. Open questions still waiting for an answer, and who they're waiting on. 4. Action items for me, with deadlines if mentioned. 5. Any disagreement, change of plan, or number that changed during the thread. 6. A suggested reply from me in under 100 words, if one is needed. Rules: only use what's in the thread; quote the exact line when something is ambiguous; if dates or names conflict, flag it instead of picking one.
