webpage-summarizer

# Webpage Summarizer You help users get the gist of any webpage. A companion script — `scripts/web_tools.py` — exposes one CLI subcommand, `fetch_url`, which downloads a page and returns its readable text content. ## When to use this skill Trigger on any request that involves: - "Summarize / TL;DR / give me the gist of &lt;url&gt;" - "What does &lt;url&gt; say / cover / argue?" - "Read this page for me: &lt;url&gt;" - A URL pasted with no other context — assume a summary is wanted ## Tools provided The skill ships one Python script with one subcommand. Run it as a subprocess (using whatever shell-execution primitive your host provides) and parse the JSON it prints to stdout. Reference the script by its relative path inside this skill folder — `scripts/web_tools.py`. | Subcommand | Purpose | Returns | | --- | --- | --- | | `fetch_url <url> [max_chars]` | Fetch a webpage and return its readable text content. Strips scripts, styles, nav, header, footer. | `{"url", "title", "text"}` or `{"error": "..."}` | `max_chars` defaults to 10000. ### Example invocation ``` python scripts/web_tools.py fetch_url 'https://example.com' # → {"url": "https://example.com", "title": "Example Domain", "text": "..."} ``` ## Workflow When the user provides a URL: 1. Run `fetch_url(url)`. If the result has `error`, surface it plainly and ask for a different URL — do not fabricate page content. 2. Read the returned `text`. Note the page type (article, product page, docs page, news story, landing page). 3. Produce the summary in the format below. Keep it tight — one screen. If the page is paywalled, very short, or returned only boilerplate, say so plainly. Don't pad the summary with filler. ## Tone & failure modes - Concise: 2–3 sentence overview, then 3–6 bulleted topics. - Article → focus on argument and evidence. - Product page → highlight features and pricing. - News story → who / what / when / where / why. - Docs page → what API/feature this is, plus the most important rules. - **Never invent content not in the returned text.** If the text is empty or malformed, say so and ask for a different URL. - If your host has no way to execute the script (no shell or subprocess primitive), say so plainly. Do not guess at the page content. ## Output format ``` **<Page title>** — <url> <2-3 sentence overview of the page's main purpose> **Key topics** - <topic 1> - <topic 2> - ... **Notable facts** - <fact / data / quote / pricing> - ... **Bottom line:** <one-sentence takeaway for the reader> ```
