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.

Use when work should span one or more detached tasks but still behave like one job with a single owner context. TaskFlow is the durable flow substrate under authoring layers like Lobster, ACPX, plugins, or plain code. Keep conditional logic in the caller; use TaskFlow for flow identity, child-task linkage, waiting state, revision-checked mutations, and user-facing emergence.
