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

summarize scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Summarize

Composable pipeline for summarizing web pages, documents, audio, and video. Mix and match tools based on input type and model preference.

Install

llm needs a persistent install so plugins survive between calls:

uv tool install llm
llm install llm-ollama            # optional: local models via Ollama
brew install steipete/tap/summarize  # optional: all-in-one CLI alternative

markitdown and fabric work as one-shot uvx calls — no permanent install needed.

Quick start by input type

URL → summary

# Jina Reader: zero-install, returns clean markdown
curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/https://example.com" | llm "summarize this"

# With a specific model
curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/https://example.com" | llm -m claude-opus-5 "summarize"

PDF / Word / PPTX / HTML → summary

uvx markitdown file.pdf | llm "summarize"
uvx markitdown file.docx | llm "summarize"

YouTube / audio → summary

# Via summarize CLI (handles transcription)
summarize "https://youtu.be/<id>" --youtube auto

# Local: yt-dlp + whisper pipeline
yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 -o /tmp/audio.mp3 "https://youtu.be/<id>"
uvx openai-whisper /tmp/audio.mp3 --output_format txt
llm "summarize" < /tmp/audio.txt

Stdin / arbitrary text

cat notes.txt | llm "summarize"
echo "long text..." | llm -m ollama/llama3.2 "summarize in 3 bullets"

llm — model selection

llm models                        # list available models
llm -m claude-opus-5 "..."        # Anthropic (needs ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
llm -m gpt-4o "..."               # OpenAI (needs OPENAI_API_KEY)
llm -m ollama/llama3.2 "..."      # local via Ollama (no key needed)
llm -m gemini-1.5-flash "..."     # Google (needs GEMINI_API_KEY)

Set default model once:

llm models default claude-sonnet-5

fabric — opinionated extraction patterns

Useful when you want structured extraction, not just a summary:

uvx fabric --pattern summarize < input.txt
curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/https://example.com" | uvx fabric --pattern extract_wisdom
curl -s "https://r.jina.ai/https://example.com" | uvx fabric --pattern extract_ideas
uvx fabric --list   # see all available patterns

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.
