What This Skill Does
Uses the summarize CLI to extract key information from URLs, PDFs, YouTube videos, and podcast feeds. Returns a concise summary of the content.
CLI Tool: summarize
Common Commands
summarize https://example.com/article
summarize /path/to/document.pdf
summarize https://example.com/report.pdf
summarize https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
summarize https://podcast-feed-url.com/episode.mp3
summarize --format bullets https://example.com/article
summarize --format paragraph https://example.com/article
Usage Guidelines
- Always pass the full URL or absolute file path.
- For YouTube, use the full
watch?v= URL — short links may not resolve.
- If the user asks to "look up", "read", or "check" a link, default to summarizing it.
- Present the summary in a clean, readable format — use bullet points for articles, prose for videos/podcasts.
Notes
- Requires an active internet connection for remote content.
- Very large PDFs may take longer to process.
- If
summarize is not installed, check the project docs for the install method.
