summarize

summarize is a content-ingestion CLI that fetches URLs or local files, extracts readable text or transcripts, and turns them into summaries. It also powers a browser side panel through a local daemon, but the core tool is a flag-driven terminal workflow.

• Turn web pages, PDFs, local documents, podcast feeds, and media URLs into readable summaries from one command.
• Extract raw text, markdown, transcripts, timestamps, and slide OCR when you need source material for follow-up prompts or other tools.
• Reuse the same pipeline behind a localhost daemon so a Chrome or Firefox side panel can summarize the current tab or media page.

• --json, stdin support, and explicit flags make it easy to wrap in scripts that fetch content, summarize it, then pass structured results downstream.
• It works well as a read-only ingestion primitive when an agent needs to condense long pages or media before acting somewhere else.
• Media-heavy and browser-side flows depend on configured models or API keys plus optional local tools like ffmpeg, yt-dlp, and tesseract.

• Output quality and supported attachment types vary by the chosen model or provider, so the same command is not equally reliable across backends.
• The browser side-panel workflow is optional but requires a paired local daemon and token setup; CLI-only use does not.
