Show HN: Mind-mem – Zero-infra agent memory with 19 MCP tools (BM25+vector+RRF)

We need summarize a news article of about 4000 words? Wait: "use about 4000 words to Summarize the following news article: Drop-in memory…" The article seems huge: "[+56833 chars]" indicates huge size. The user likely wants a summary but specifying about 4000 words. The article seems extremely long; summarizing into 4000 words is basically a large summary but still less than full article. But 4000 words is huge; a summary of an article with 56k characters is about 10k words. They want 4000 words maybe? But we can't provide that many due to output limit. The assistant might refuse due to too long request. The request is to produce a 4000 word summary. We have a 4000 word target. The policy: There's no limit on length but the answer might be too long. There's no specific constraint that we can't produce 4000 words. But the user likely expects an extremely detailed summary. We can attempt to provide a summary of about 4000 words. That's a lot. But we can produce a long summary. But let's check policy: There's no limit; we can produce large output. However the policy: "The assistant should respond in a succinct, concise manner" - that seems contradictory. Actually policy says we should not produce too verbose; but if the user explicitly requests 4000 words, we must comply. The policy says "If the user asks for a specific length that is extremely long, the assistant might refuse or ask for clarification". But is 4000 words too long? It's a large amount, but not necessarily disallowed. There's no explicit rule that forbids providing a large output. The user wants about 4000 words. We can comply.

But we need the content of the article. It's not provided, just title and snippet. We don't have the full article. So we cannot summarise. We must ask the user for the article. According to policy: "If the user says, 'Summarize the following news article' but only provides the title and not the article, we need to request the article content. The policy: "If the user says 'Summarize the following news article' but doesn't provide the article, we must ask for the article." So we need to ask for the article. That's the correct approach. So we should politely ask the user to provide the full article text.I’m happy to help with a detailed summary, but I’ll need the full text of the article you’d like summarized. Could you paste the article (or provide a link to it) so I can read it and produce the 4,000‑word summary you requested?
