What is Summarize?
Summarize is a versatile command-line utility that serves as a cornerstone for Openclaw Skills users needing rapid information extraction. By leveraging powerful LLMs like Gemini, GPT, and Claude, it transforms dense web pages, long PDFs, and even YouTube videos into digestible insights.
The tool is engineered for speed and flexibility, offering native support for various file types and intelligent fallback mechanisms like Firecrawl for bypassing bot detection on complex websites. Whether you are conducting research or managing a high-volume information stream, this skill streamlines your reading and comprehension workflow.
Summarize Use Cases
- Rapidly distilling long-form articles and documentation from URLs.
- Generating executive summaries of local PDF reports or technical whitepapers.
- Extracting key takeaways from YouTube tutorials or presentations without watching the full video.
- Automating content processing pipelines by outputting machine-readable summaries.
How Summarize Works
- The user provides a source input such as a URL, a local file path, or a YouTube link through the CLI.
- The skill identifies the content type and utilizes extraction engines, including Firecrawl for blocked sites or Apify for YouTube transcripts.
- The extracted text is processed by the configured LLM (e.g., Gemini 3 Flash) based on the specified length and token constraints.
- The final summary is returned to the terminal or provided in JSON format for further integration within Openclaw Skills environments.
Summarize Setup
To get started with this component of your Openclaw Skills library, install the binary via Homebrew:
brew tap steipete/tap
brew install summarize
Next, export your preferred API key to your environment:
export GEMINI_API_KEY='your_key_here'
