auto-summary

auto-summary is a skill for Claude Code from DavidROliverBA/ArchitectKB. It costs 10 tokens per session (1,146 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A note-management command that fills in missing summary fields by analysing note content. It can process all matching notes, a selected path, a note type, or a limited number of notes, and can preview results first.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add summaries to notes with missing values, limit processing by folder or type, preview proposed summaries with a dry run, or process a fixed number of notes.
Why use it?
It makes notes easier to scan and find without opening each full document. Batch processing avoids writing summaries one note at a time.

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

auto-summary 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/auto-summary

Batch populate the summary frontmatter field on notes where it is null or missing. The summary field is the highest-value AI triage field — it enables fast note discovery without reading full content.

Usage

/auto-summary                    # Process all notes with null summary
/auto-summary <path>             # Process specific file or folder
/auto-summary --dry-run          # Preview summaries without applying
/auto-summary --type Concept     # Only process specific note type
/auto-summary --limit 50         # Process at most 50 notes

Instructions

Phase 1: Find Notes Needing Summary

Use Grep to find notes with null or missing summary:

# Find notes with summary: null
Grep for "summary: null" in *.md files

# Also find notes with no summary field at all
# (These should have had summary added by template cleanup)

Filter results:

  • Exclude Templates/, .obsidian/, .claude/, Archive/, Attachments/
  • Exclude Daily notes (journals don't need summaries)
  • If --type specified, filter by frontmatter type
  • Sort by type for batch efficiency

Phase 2: Generate Summaries (Parallel)

Launch parallel Haiku sub-agents, batching 20 notes per agent:

For each note, the agent should:

  1. Read the full note (frontmatter + body)
  2. Generate a one-line summary following these rules:
Summary Writing Rules
  • Length: 10-25 words. One sentence. No period at the end
  • Voice: Active, descriptive. State what the note IS or DOES
  • Content: Capture the core purpose, not details
  • Avoid: Starting with "This note...", "A document about...", "Summary of..."
  • Include: Key entities, technologies, or decisions where relevant
Summary Patterns by Type
Type Pattern Example
Concept What X is Continuous Airworthiness Management Organisation responsible for aircraft safety compliance
Pattern How to do X Event-driven architecture pattern using Kafka for real-time system integration

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.
