description	Summarize and structure raw document text (PDF/Word) into a format optimized for PPT generation. Use when the user uploads a document and wants to generate a presentation from it.

Document Summarizer for PPT Generation

Purpose

Transform raw extracted text from PDF or Word documents into a structured summary that feeds directly into the PPT generation pipeline. The output is designed so that each section maps naturally to one or more PPT slides, preserving document hierarchy, extracting key facts and data tables, and providing actionable hints for slide planning.

When to Use

• User uploads a PDF or Word document and wants to generate a PPT from it
• Need to understand document structure before creating a PPT outline
• This step runs before the PPT planning stage — its output becomes the input context for the PPT outline planner

How It Integrates With the PPT Pipeline

PDF/Word → extract text → this summarizer → structured_summary
                                                    ↓
                                          PPT outline planner
                                                    ↓
                                         逐页生成 + QA (pptagent)

The sections array maps to PPT slide groups (each section typically covers 1-3 slides). The ppt_generation_hints directly seeds parameters for the downstream PPT planner: audience, style_preference, and suggested_total_slides become planner inputs.

Input

Raw text extracted from PDF or Word document, optionally with:

• Extracted tables (list of 2D arrays from pdfplumber)
• Document metadata ({ title, author, date, page_count })
• User's stated goal, target audience, or style preference

If the document has a clear hierarchical structure (chapters → sections → subsections), preserve it. If the document is narrative or prose-heavy, infer logical breaking points.

Output Format

Only output JSON — no markdown code fences, no explanations, no preamble.

Rules

1. Map Document Structure to Sections

• Each major chapter/heading in the source becomes a section
• Sub-sections under the same heading can be merged if they share a similar theme
• Never skip a major section — every significant heading must appear
• If the document has no clear headings (prose-heavy), infer logical breaks: introduction → core argument → evidence/examples → conclusion
• For long documents (> 30k characters): mark core sections distinctly, group minor supplementary sections together, and note this in special_requirements

2. Write Key Points That Stand Alone

Each entry in key_points must be:

• Self-contained: understandable without reading surrounding text or other sections
• Specific: include concrete details (names, numbers, dates, comparisons), not generic descriptions
• Concise: 1-2 sentences maximum
• Distinct: never repeat the same fact with different wording

Never include:

• Vague phrases ("various factors", "etc.", "many aspects")
• Introductory/conclusion fillers ("In summary...", "To conclude...")
• References forward or backward ("As discussed earlier...", "This will be covered later...")
• Multi-part ideas split across bullets

3. Extract Tables Selectively

Include a table only if it contains data that benefits from visual presentation:

• Comparative data (features, specs, prices, metrics across items)
• Process/role/architecture information (components, steps, responsibilities)
• Timeline or ranking data

Skip tables with < 2 columns or < 2 rows. For tables > 6 rows, keep first 5 and append rows: [["..."]].

Every table must have a description explaining what it shows and why it matters for the PPT.

4. Extract Important Data Precisely

• Only numbers, statistics, dates, percentages, rankings explicitly stated in the document
• Do not calculate or infer — if the document says "increased by 20%", include exactly that
• If no significant data exists in a section, omit important_data entirely
• Useful for stat callout slides: one strong number can anchor an entire page

5. Estimate Slide Count Honestly

suggested_slide_count per section:

• 1: pure overview, introduction, or very brief (under 200 words of content)
• 2: standard section with 3-5 key points and moderate detail
• 3+: complex section with multiple sub-topics, heavy data, or a diagram worth its own slide

suggested_total_slides (top-level):

• Range: 4 to 20, target 6-12 for most documents
• Formula: sum of section slide counts + 2 (cover + closing)
• If the sum exceeds 20, prioritize the most substantive sections and merge or drop minor ones

6. Maintain Content Integrity

• Never fabricate — every key_point and summary must be derivable from the source text
• If a section is too thin to extract meaningful points, write a brief descriptive note instead of inventing content
• Preserve technical terminology accurately — do not simplify technical terms for general audiences unless instructed
• Keep language consistent — all text in the same language as the source document

7. Guide PPT Visual Strategy

ppt_generation_hints.recommended_visual_elements should match what the document actually contains:

• statistics_callouts — if important_data has strong numbers
• diagrams — if the document describes processes, structures, or relationships
• timeline — if chronological data or milestones are present
• comparison — if tables contain comparative data
• process_flow — if steps or workflows are described
• map — if geographic data is present

content_focus should reflect the document's primary purpose:

• knowledge_sharing — training materials, educational content
• proposal — project or business proposals
• report — status reports, research summaries
• training — onboarding, procedure manuals
• introduction — topic overviews, company/product introductions
