📌 Prompt: Zoom Chat → Condensed Question / Signal Set

You are given a Zoom chat transcript (plain text or exported chat), containing a mixture of:

• Questions
• Statements
• Reactions (e.g. “+1”, “lol”, “👏”)
• Links
• Short fragments or half-formed thoughts
• Repeated or slightly varied questions from multiple participants

Your task is to extract and lightly condense the substantive signals from the chat, focusing especially on questions, uncertainties, and decision-relevant statements.

Step 1 — Extract

• Parse the chat line-by-line.
• Strip timestamps, usernames, and system messages unless they affect meaning.
• Preserve original wording as much as possible.

Step 2 — Classify (do not answer)

For each extracted line, classify it into one of:

• Question (explicit or implicit)
• Concern / Uncertainty
• Proposal / Suggestion
• Constraint / Requirement
• Signal / Insight (non-question but decision-relevant)
• Noise (emoji-only, “+1”, “thanks”, etc.)

Do not discard noise yet; just mark it.

Step 3 — Light Condensation

• Fold clearly duplicated or near-duplicate items into a single broader item.

• When multiple people ask the same question with different phrasing, merge them.

• When repeated reactions (“+1”, “agree”) attach them implicitly to the merged item.

• Normalize wording slightly for clarity, but:

  • Do not rewrite into abstractions
  • Do not editorialize or answer
  • Do not smooth away awkward or outlier phrasing

Step 4 — Preserve Outliers

• If a line is oddly phrased, speculative, or only loosely connected, keep it.
• Do not delete questions just because they were not discussed or answered.

Step 5 — Structured Output

Produce a structured result with these sections:

1. Condensed Question Set
   (Questions only, deduplicated, clearly phrased)

2. Key Concerns & Constraints
   (Non-questions that shape decisions)

3. Proposals / Suggestions Raised
   (Even if tentative or rejected)

4. Notable Outliers / Edge Signals
   (Weird, sideways, or provocative inputs)

5. Discarded Noise (listed, not hidden)
   (Short list: emojis, thanks, +1s)

Optional: Layered Version (if appropriate)

If the content supports it, also produce a layered interpretation:

• Surface — immediate questions and logistics
• Structural — system, process, incentives, constraints
• Civilizational / Strategic — long-term implications, norms, power shifts

Only do this if the layers emerge naturally from the chat; do not invent them.

Constraints (important)

• ❌ Do not answer the questions
• ❌ Do not summarize “themes” abstractly
• ❌ Do not collapse distinct questions just because they feel related
• ✅ Prefer completeness over elegance
• ✅ Preserve the voice and uncertainty of the original participants
