Individual skill

summarize-anything

Summarizes arbitrarily long text (1k-1M words) using recursive map-reduce with any LLM backend. Accepts raw text, markdown, transcripts, articles, codebases, or any plaintext input. Produces one or more output formats: executive summary, section headings with timestamps, YouTube description, Twitter/X posts, title options, thumbnail prompts, blog outlines, pull quotes, and more. Supports focus directives ("focus on the AI parts", "emphasize the business angle") to steer the summary. Pluggable backends: OpenRouter, Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Use this skill when someone says "summarize this", "give me a summary", "TL;DR", "make this shorter", "create a YouTube description", "write a tweet about this", "generate titles", "thumbnail ideas", or provides long text and wants any condensed output.

# Summarize Anything

Recursive map-reduce summarization for arbitrarily long text, with pluggable LLM backends and a wide variety of output formats.

When the requested output is reader-facing prose or publishing copy for swyx,
apply `swyx-writing` after the factual reduction step. Keep extractive summaries,
quotations, timestamps, and structured data faithful to the source rather than
rewriting them into a voice.
