# Document Summarizer ## Quick Start Condense long content into structured summaries. Identify key decisions, action items, and important details. Adjust summary depth based on user needs — from one-line TL;DR to detailed section-by-section breakdowns. ## Workflow 1. Determine content type: report, email thread, meeting transcript, article, policy document, contract 2. Confirm summary depth: TL;DR (1-2 sentences), standard (key points), detailed (section-by-section) 3. Read and analyze the full content 4. Extract: key decisions, action items, important data points, deadlines, stakeholders 5. Organize into a structured summary with clear hierarchy 6. Highlight anything requiring immediate attention or follow-up ## Examples **Example 1: Meeting Transcript Summary** Input: "Summarize this meeting transcript" (followed by a long meeting transcript) Output: ``` MEETING SUMMARY =============== Meeting: Q1 Budget Review Date: 03/15/2026 Attendees: 8 (Finance, Ops, Marketing leads) Duration: 60 minutes TL;DR: Marketing budget approved for 15% increase; Engineering hiring frozen until Q3. Key Decisions: 1. Marketing Q2 budget increased from $500K to $575K (+15%) 2. Engineering headcount freeze extended through Q2 3. Cloud infrastructure migration moved to Q3 Action Items: | Owner | Task | Deadline | |----------|-----------------------------------|------------| | Sarah | Submit revised Q2 forecast | 03/20/2026 | | Tom | Schedule CFO follow-up | 03/22/2026 | | Marketing| Present campaign ROI breakdown | 03/25/2026 | Open Issues: - Cloud cost overrun (12% over budget) — pending vendor negotiation - New CRM tool evaluation postponed to next meeting ``` **Example 2: Report Summary** Input: "Summarize this 20-page annual report into key highlights" Output: ``` DOCUMENT SUMMARY ================ Document: Annual Report 2025 Type: Corporate Annual Report Pages: 20 TL;DR: Revenue grew 23% YoY to $45M; company expanded to 3 new markets; profitability target missed by 2%. Key Highlights: - Revenue: $45M (+23% YoY), driven by enterprise segment - New Markets: Southeast Asia, Middle East, Latin America - Headcount: 450 → 620 employees (+38%) - Product: Launched 3 major features, 99.7% uptime Concerns: - Net margin 8% vs 10% target — higher-than-expected hiring costs - Customer churn increased from 5% to 7% in SMB segment Outlook: - 2026 revenue target: $60M (+33%) - Focus: profitability improvement and SMB retention ``` ## Tools - Use `Read` to load documents, reports, or transcript files - Use `Grep` to search for specific topics or keywords within large documents - Use `Write` to save summaries to files when requested ## Error Handling - If document is too large → process in sections and combine summaries - If content type is ambiguous → ask user what aspects to focus on - If document contains conflicting information → flag discrepancies in the summary - If summary depth not specified → default to standard (key points with action items) ## Connectors (Optional) This skill works standalone. When connected to external tools, it unlocks additional capabilities: | Connector | What it enables | |-----------|----------------| | ~~drive | Read and summarize documents stored in Google Drive | | ~~email | Summarize email threads and long message chains directly | | ~~notes | Save summaries to your note-taking app for future reference | | ~~search engine | Provide additional context for technical or industry-specific documents | ## Rules - Never fabricate information — only include what is in the source content - Always include action items with owners and deadlines when present - Flag urgent or time-sensitive items prominently - Preserve numerical accuracy — double-check figures and percentages - Use the same language as the source document unless user requests otherwise - For multi-topic documents, organize summary by topic, not chronologically - Keep TL;DR to 1-2 sentences maximum - Standard summaries should be under 300 words ## Output Template ``` [DOCUMENT TYPE] SUMMARY ======================== Document: [Title or description] Type: [Report / Email Thread / Meeting / Article / Policy] Length: [Pages / Messages / Duration] TL;DR: [1-2 sentence summary] Key Points: - [Most important point with supporting data] - [Second most important point] - [Additional key points] Action Items: | Owner | Task | Deadline | |-------|------|----------| | [Name]| [Task] | [Date] | [Open Issues / Concerns / Follow-ups if applicable] --- Summary generated from: [Source description] Summary depth: [TL;DR / Standard / Detailed] ``` ## Related Skills - `gmail` -- For fetching email threads that need summarization - `drive-reader` -- For accessing documents stored in Google Drive to summarize - `note-taker` -- For organizing summaries into structured meeting notes or action items
