Summarize Markdown

Read markdown files in a specified directory and produce a structured summary of their contents.

Workflow

  1. Accept a directory path from the user.
  2. Use Glob to find all *.md files in the directory.
  3. Use Read to read each file's contents.
  4. For each file, extract:
    • The title (first # heading)
    • Any YAML frontmatter description
    • Key sections (second-level headings)
  5. Present a summary table to the user:
File Title Key Sections
... ... ...

Rules

  • Only read files — never modify, create, or delete anything.
  • Limit to the specified directory — do not traverse parent directories.
  • If no markdown files are found, report that clearly.
