Create a structured summary of the supplied book text or notes. Cover its major topics and explain each important concept through four elements: overview, a source example, an application described in the text, and the key takeaway.

Use topic headings and brief subsections. Aim for about 800 words for a full book, or the user's requested length. Use fewer words for a chapter or excerpt. Combine repeated ideas and keep examples only when they clarify a concept.

Preserve the author's distinctions, limitations, and disagreements. Do not invent quotations, anecdotes, applications, or claims. If an element is absent from the supplied material, omit it or mark it as unspecified. State the scope when the available material does not cover the whole book.
