Fast CLI to summarize URLs, local files, and YouTube links.
Use this skill immediately when the user asks any of:
yt-dlp needed)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
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 *before* starting work in a domain you don't know well, to surface the "unknown unknowns" — the things you don't even know to ask about — and learn just enough to prompt and decide well. Implements the "blind spot pass" pattern from Anthropic's Fable "finding your unknowns" field guide. Triggers when you say "I'm new to this", "I don't know what to ask", "teach me before we start", "blind spot pass", "unknown unknowns", "find my unknowns", or the Korean "내가 뭘 모르는지 알려줘" / "이 분야 처음인데" / "먼저 가르쳐줘" / "블라인드 스팟", or when you hand off a task while admitting you're a non-expert in that field (color grading, video editing, legal, tax, finance, design, an unfamiliar codebase, etc.). Do NOT use for simple factual questions, domains you already know, or directly-actionable work — answer those directly or route to planner / architect.
development
Turn a one-line description of a repetitive task into a reusable, self-guarding slash command. loop-forge diagnoses the task into one of 5 loop shapes (Batch / Pipeline / Refine / Watch / Explore), interviews for the blanks, and auto-injects two safety devices the user didn't know they needed — an independent verifier (maker ≠ checker) and a hardstop (a budget/count/cooldown ceiling) — then previews the result and stamps it as a `/command` they can run forever. Use when the user says "/loop", "/loop-forge", "/make-it-loop", "automate this", "make this repeatable", "turn this into a command", "do this for all 100 items", "do X every time Y happens", "generate several and pick the best", or otherwise wants to capture a recurring task as a reusable slash command instead of re-typing the prompt by hand. Works in any language: it interviews the user and writes the stamped command in the user's own language. Non-goal — it does not schedule unattended runs (launchd/cron) or publish externally on its own; it stamps the reusable command and stops there.
development
Use when verifying build/test/lint before commit, PR, or completion claims. Runs verification pipeline in fresh subagent context with auto-repair. Triggers on /handoff-verify, pre-commit check, build verification, test validation.
