eddmann Summarise Skill
Extract clean content or generate summaries from URLs, YouTube videos, podcasts, and files using @steipete/summarize via buns.
Usage
buns run --allow-host="*" --allow-env="*" --memory=512 --timeout=120 workspace/skills/summarise/scripts/summarize.ts -- [FLAGS] "URL_OR_FILE"
Extract Content (preferred)
Use --extract to get clean text, then summarise as the agent. This avoids a redundant LLM call.
# Web page or article
... -- --extract "URL"
# YouTube with timestamps
... -- --extract --timestamps "YOUTUBE_URL"
Summarise via CLI
When content is very long and would use too many tokens, let summarize do it directly.
... -- "URL" # default xl summary
... -- --length short "URL" # brief summary
Tips
- Prefer
--extractfor most use cases — the agent can summarise in its own voice - Use CLI summarisation (without
--extract) for very long content to save tokens --timestampsadds time markers to YouTube/podcast transcripts--jsonreturns structured output with metadata
Troubleshooting
- No transcript: YouTube video may not have captions
- Timeout: Increase
--timeoutfor long videos or slow sites - Model errors: Check that the relevant API key env var is set (e.g.
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
