# Text Summarizer Skill
## Required Environment Variables
- None required.
## Invocation Contract
- Call `run_skill_script` with:
- `skill_name`: `text-summarizer`
- `script_name`: `summarize`
- This script requires one input source, passed as `--file` or `--text`.
- Pass those options in `kwargs`.
## Script API
### `script_name: summarize`
- required input (exactly one):
- `file`: path to text file, or
- `text`: inline text to summarize
- optional `kwargs`:
- `max_sentences`: integer
- `method`: `extractive | key_points`
## `run_skill_script` Examples

```json
{
"skill_name": "text-summarizer",
"script_name": "summarize",
"kwargs": {
"file": "document.txt",
"max_sentences": 5,
"method": "extractive"
}
}
```
- Summarize inline text:
```json
{
"skill_name": "text-summarizer",
"script_name": "summarize",
"kwargs": {
"text": "Long text here",
"method": "key_points",
"max_sentences": 3
}
}
```
