Summarize
Fast CLI to summarize URLs, local files, and YouTube links.
When to use (trigger phrases)
Use this skill immediately when the user asks any of:
- “use summarize.sh”
- “what’s this link/video about?”
- “summarize this URL/article”
- “transcribe this YouTube/video” (best-effort transcript extraction; no
yt-dlpneeded)
Quick start
summarize "https://example.com" --model google/gemini-3-flash-preview
summarize "/path/to/file.pdf" --model google/gemini-3-flash-preview
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 it’s huge, return a tight summary first, then ask which section/time range to expand.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
When the agent calls memory_search with a relationship-shaped query ("who did I talk to about X"), redirect to the knowledge_graph backend where it will actually find the answer.
