A text summarization tool for web pages, local files, podcasts, and video links. It can also make a best-effort transcript from a YouTube URL.

Use it to summarize URLs and local documents, summarize podcasts or videos, or extract text from YouTube links.

It saves you from reading or listening to an entire source when you need its main points or searchable text. It is also useful when a source is difficult to inspect directly.

summarize — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by FarkhodovIslom/Tarantul

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add FarkhodovIslom/Tarantul --skill summarize

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/FarkhodovIslom/Tarantul

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00032	$0.00587
Opus 5.5	$0.00013	$0.00235
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00117
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00059

Security

Grade A, and why

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 1mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

83% identical to summarize — 44 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Summarize

Fast CLI to summarize URLs, local files, and YouTube links.

When to use (trigger phrases)

Use this skill immediately when the user asks any of:

“use summarize.sh”
“what’s this link/video about?”
“summarize this URL/article”
“transcribe this YouTube/video” (best-effort transcript extraction; no yt-dlp needed)

Quick start

summarize "https://example.com" --model google/gemini-3-flash-preview
summarize "/path/to/file.pdf" --model google/gemini-3-flash-preview
summarize "https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ" --youtube auto

YouTube: summary vs transcript

Best-effort transcript (URLs only):

summarize "https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ" --youtube auto --extract-only

If the user asked for a transcript but it’s huge, return a tight summary first, then ask which section/time range to expand.

Model + keys

Set the API key for your chosen provider:

OpenAI: OPENAI_API_KEY
Anthropic: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
xAI: XAI_API_KEY
Google: GEMINI_API_KEY (aliases: GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY, GOOGLE_API_KEY)

Default model is google/gemini-3-flash-preview if none is set.

Useful flags

--length short|medium|long|xl|xxl|<chars>
--max-output-tokens <count>
--extract-only (URLs only)
--json (machine readable)
--firecrawl auto|off|always (fallback extraction)
--youtube auto (Apify fallback if APIFY_API_TOKEN set)

Config

Optional config file: ~/.summarize/config.json

{ "model": "openai/gpt-5.2" }

Optional services:

FIRECRAWL_API_KEY for blocked sites
APIFY_API_TOKEN for YouTube fallback

Changes

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.
