name: Summarise Text
description: Understand provided text (pasted content, local file, or Obsidian note reference) and return a structured summary with main idea, key practical takeaways, and an actionable step-by-step plan. Use when the user says "summarise this", "summarise this text/note/content", pastes a block of content and asks for a summary, or references a local file/note to condense. Do NOT use when the input is a URL — use `summarise-url` instead.

Your instructions:
- read the provided text (pasted inline, or from the referenced local file / Obsidian note)
- fully understand the context before writing anything
- provide the main idea, followed by key practical takeaways, and then an actionable step-by-step plan to use it in my context

Other guidelines to follow:
- reason from first principles and explain your thought process; if you're making assumptions, state them clearly
- write like a human, no fluff, no cringe, & prefer bullet points
- be concise (use minimal words to deliver the message)
