Summarize
Quick Reference
| Input | Command |

| URL/article | summarize โhttps://...โ --model openai/gpt-4.1-mini |
| Local file | summarize โ/path/to/file.pdfโ |

Quick start
summarize "https://example.com" --model openai/gpt-4.1-mini
summarize "/path/to/file.pdf" --model anthropic/claude-3-5-sonnet
summarize "https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ" --youtube auto
YouTube: summary vs transcript
Best-effort transcript (URLs only):
summarize "https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ" --youtube auto --extract-only
If the user asked for a transcript but itโs huge, return a tight summary first, then ask which section/time range to expand.
