What is get-tldr?
The get-tldr skill is a specialized utility designed for Openclaw Skills to provide rapid, deterministic summaries of web content. Unlike standard agents that may hallucinate when reading long pages, this skill utilizes the get-tldr.com API to retrieve a pre-processed summary. Its primary purpose is to deliver accurate content condensation without secondary summarization, ensuring the integrity of the original API output remains intact.
By incorporating this into your environment, you enable your AI coding agent to ingest high-value information from external links with minimal token overhead. It serves as a bridge between live web data and your agent context, providing clean, Markdown-ready text that is formatted for immediate readability within Openclaw Skills.
get-tldr Use Cases
- Rapidly digesting long-form technical articles or documentation during a coding session.
- Reducing token consumption by providing the agent with a pre-summarized version of a URL.
- Automating research tasks where accuracy and speed are prioritized over manual scraping.
- Fact-checking or gathering context from external sources using Openclaw Skills.
How get-tldr Works
- The user triggers the skill by typing a command like get-tldr followed by a specific URL.
- The skill invokes a bundled Python script which acts as a lightweight client for the get-tldr.com API.
- The script authenticates using a pre-configured API token stored in the local file system or environment variables.
- A POST request is sent to the summarization endpoint with the target URL as the payload.
- The skill receives a JSON response, extracts the summary field, and cleans up any code-block wrapping to ensure valid Markdown rendering.
- The final formatted summary is presented to the user within the Openclaw Skills interface.
get-tldr Setup
To get started with get-tldr in your Openclaw Skills environment, follow these steps:
- Ensure you have a valid API key from get-tldr.com.
- Create the configuration directory:
mkdir -p ~/.config/get-tldr
- Create a configuration file at
~/.config/get-tldr/config.jsonwith your credentials:
{
"api_token": "<your_key_here>",
"logfile": "~/.config/get-tldr/skill.log"
}
- Alternatively, you can set the environment variable:
export GET_TLDR_API_KEY="your_key_here"
get-tldr Data Schema & Taxonomy
The get-tldr skill follows a strict data handling protocol to maintain accuracy within Openclaw Skills:
| Component | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Input | String | A valid URL provided by the user via the agent interface. |
| Configuration | JSON | Found in ~/.config/get-tldr/config.json, containing api_token and logfile. |
| API Response | JSON | The raw data from get-tldr.com, specifically the summary property. |
| Output | Markdown | The raw summary text, stripped of unnecessary code-block wrappers for native rendering. |
Logs are maintained locally to track API interactions and debugging information.
