local_summarize

local_summarize is a command for Claude Code from jgt87/local-llm-mcp. It costs 18 tokens per session (399 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that creates a short summary of a file, command output, or long text using a local language model. It focuses on what happened, failures, and actions that may be needed, then checks the summary against the source.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to summarise logs, reports, files, or the latest long output in a conversation and identify problems or next steps.
Why use it?
It removes the need to read every repetitive line in a long output while keeping errors and follow-up work visible. It also avoids sending the source to an online provider by default.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

local_summarize scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

The arguments name the source and may add what to focus on. If the source is a file path, read the file. If it is a shell command, run it and use its output. Otherwise treat it as the text itself. If there are no arguments, the source is the most recent long tool output or text in this conversation.

Summarise the source with local_ask. Send it with a system prompt asking for a short plain summary: what happened, anything that failed, and anything needing action. Use maxTokens around 200. If the text is very long, drop repetitive lines (progress bars, repeated warnings) before sending rather than cutting off the end, where errors usually are. Then check every claim in the summary against the source; a summary that invents an error or misses one is worse than none.

Ground rules:

  • Use the local-llm tools for the generation step; do the reading, trimming and checking yourself. The local model has no file access, no repo context and no memory between calls, so every call must carry all the text it needs.
  • Keep maxTokens tight: locally it runs at roughly 16 tokens per second.
  • Stay on the default provider unless the user asked for OpenRouter. Never send secrets, keys or private data to provider="openrouter".
  • If a call fails because Ollama is unreachable, say so and stop; do not silently do the work yourself instead.
  • Treat the reply as a draft. Check it against the source before presenting it, fix what is wrong, and say briefly what you changed.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
