# Summary: Summarize Template Alignment (Option C)

**Date:** 2026-03-12

## What Was Done

- Moved `src/alfred/prompts/templates/summarize.md` → `docs/contracts/summarize-node.md`
- Added explanatory comment in `summarize.py` (after logger, before models) explaining why there's no template file and pointing to the contracts doc

## Decisions Made During Execution

| Decision | Choice | Why |
|----------|--------|-----|
| Approach | Option C (move + comment) | Clean, honest, minimal — no over-engineering |
| Target path | `docs/contracts/summarize-node.md` | It's a contracts doc, not architecture or a prompt |

## Deviations from Plan

None.

## Files Changed

| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `src/alfred/prompts/templates/summarize.md` | Deleted (moved) |
| `docs/contracts/summarize-node.md` | Created (moved file) |
| `src/alfred/graph/nodes/summarize.py` | Added 5-line comment explaining no-template design |
