Long Email Thread Digest for a File Note
Prompt
Email thread (oldest to newest, or as exported): {{EMAIL_THREAD}}
Matter context: {{MATTER_CONTEXT}}
What the partner needs to know: {{FOCUS}}
Produce:
1. Bottom line: three sentences on where things stand now.
2. Timeline: date, sender, and a one-line summary of each email that moved things forward. Skip pleasantries and duplicates.
3. Agreements and commitments: what each party agreed or promised, with the date and the email it came from.
4. Open points: questions asked but not answered, and actions without an owner.
5. Deadlines mentioned, with source.
6. Risk flags: statements that could be read as admissions, waivers, binding agreement (for example, terms agreed by email), or that were sent "without prejudice" or marked privileged. Quote them exactly.
7. Suggested next actions with owners.
Quote exactly where wording matters. If emails are out of order or quoted text is ambiguous, say so. Don't infer agreement where the thread only shows discussion.
