Web Summarizer Skill
Use this skill to extract the core message from long articles, blog posts, or webpage content without the user having to read the whole text.
Workflow
- Receive a URL from the user or from a previous step (like
news-fetcher). - Use the
read_url_contenttool to retrieve the page content. - Analyze the returned markdown content, ignoring navigation elements, ads, and footers.
- Generate a structured summary containing:
- Title: The main topic.
- TL;DR: A one-sentence summary.
- Key Points: 3 to 5 bullet points with the most important facts.
- If the article is too long to read in one go, inform the user you are summarizing the beginning of the article.

Web Summarizer fetches page text via read_url_content, filters out navigation and ads, and delivers a compact, structured brief. It highlights the Title, a TL;DR sentence, and 3–5 Key Points to help readers grasp the core message quickly.
How This Skill Works
Enter the article URL. The skill uses read_url_content to fetch the page text, then filters out navigation, ads, and footers. It returns a structured summary containing the Title, TL;DR, and 3–5 Key Points.
When to Use It
- When you need the main message from a long article or report
- When you want a quick briefing for meetings or research
- When skimming blogs or industry posts for trends
- When comparing multiple pages by extracting key points
- When a page's full text is lengthy and you want a concise digest
Quick Start
- Step 1: Provide the article URL to summarize.
- Step 2: Let the skill fetch content with read_url_content and filter noise.
- Step 3: Receive a structured Summary with Title, TL;DR, and Key Points.
Best Practices
- Use stable URLs (not paywalled or heavily interactive pages) for reliable extraction
- Provide the URL directly to avoid partial content issues
- Expect 3–5 Key Points in the output to guide decisions

- Review the Title and TL;DR to confirm alignment with your goals
