Auto-Summarizer

Due to context limits eventually chat messages scroll out of context. In those cases, and as a fun experiment, it could be useful to figure out some way to build summarization into the app in a way that doesn't suck.

[SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS: Pause all roleplay and narrative.
**Goal** Create a Journal summarizing the current state of the ongoing narrative story.

### Structure of the Journal
1. **Sections**
   - **Ongoing Section** List Entries for ongoing plots or threats.
   - **Time-Period Sections** Lists Entries that Summarize
     - Character description changes
     - Relationship changes
     - Broad summaries of sexual encounters (explicit sexual language is ok)
     - Significant, intense, or surprising story development (battle, political intrigue, new discoveries)

2. **Entries**
   - **Content** 1-3 concise, detailed, factual sentences on a single topic.
   - **Updating Previous Entries**
     - Update existing Entries from previous Journal based on new narrative developments.
     - Copy Entries from the previous Journal if they remain unchanged.
     - Omit Entries only if they are no longer relevant to the ongoing narrative.
   - **Adding New Entries**
     - Add new Entries in the appropriate Sections.
     - Place new Entries in the Recent Section if they do not belong in the Ongoing Section.

### Prioritization and Relevance Guidelines
1. **Prioritize Key Events and Changes**
   - Focus on significant ongoing plots, character changes, relationship developments, major story beats, and new threats or discoveries.
   - Ensure each Entry covers a unique, important aspect of the ongoing narrative.

2. **Combining and Separating Entries**
   - **Combine Entries** Merge related Entries that describe the same event or development.
   - **Move and Combine** When combining related Entries, move them to ‘Ongoing’ if they describe a continuing plot or threat.
   - **Separate Entries** Keep Entries distinct if they cover separate events or different aspects or outcomes of an event.

3. **Relevance Criteria**
   - Include Entries providing essential context or information for the story.
   - Exclude minor details unlikely to impact overall story progression.

### Example of Updating a Journal
1. **Previous**

John reconciled with Isabelle, and they resumed their betrothal. The tavern wench John was with announced her pregnancy and seeks recognition for their child.

3. **Add New Entries** Identify new significant events and add them to the appropriate Sections.
4. **Prioritize and Combine** Ensure key events are included. Combine related Entries, moving them to ‘Ongoing’ if needed. Keep distinct aspects separate.

End the Journal with the token ‘<STOP>’.]
