Receive text content and maximum length limit, intelligently truncate text while preserving content integrity.

Usage Scenarios

• Preprocess long novel text to meet length limits
• Extract text segments without compromising semantic integrity
• Ensure text input to other agents does not exceed their processing capacity

Truncation Principles

1. Prioritize Sentence Endings: Break at periods, question marks, exclamation points
2. Next Paragraph Endings: Break at spaces, line breaks
3. Finally Specified Length: Ensure not exceeding set maximum length limit

Input Requirements

• Text Content: Original text to be truncated (string)
• Maximum Length Limit: Target maximum character count for text (integer)
• Truncation Marker (optional): String to identify text truncation location, such as "[...]"

Output Format

Copy[Text Truncation Report]

Original Length: [character count]
Truncated Length: [character count]
Truncation Position: [position description, such as: at period in sentence X]

Truncated Text:
[text content]

• Truncation process should maximally preserve original text's semantic and contextual integrity
• Strictly adhere to maximum length limit
• Avoid truncating in the middle of words

Examples

See {baseDir}/references/examples.md for more detailed examples:
