Summarize: A Sidebar and a CLI

Added 2026-08-06

Not a skill but a complete product — an npm package plus a browser extension, with sidebars in both Chrome and Firefox. Web pages, PDFs, images and media each take their own extraction path.

YouTube and podcasts get a path of their own: published captions first, transcription only as fallback. Three switches matter: extract returns clean body text and skips the summary; json gives a stable automation envelope but turns streaming off; slides splits video by scene. A coding CLI you are already signed into can serve as the backend. Two thresholds first: Node 24 or newer, and producing a summary needs a provider configured — extract is the only path that works without a key.
