Summarize or transcribe URLs, YouTube/videos, podcasts, articles, transcripts

summarize is an agent skill from the OpenClaw project, listed on skills.sh. It summarizes or transcribes links, YouTube and other videos, podcasts, articles, PDFs and local files with the summarize.sh CLI. It's triggered by questions like 'what's this link about?', and pulls transcripts without needing yt-dlp. A skill is a SKILL.md file of instructions (sometimes with scripts and reference notes) that an AI agent loads only when a task calls for it, so the agent knows the steps to follow and what to avoid. It is free and open source.
