About
This skill generates structured summaries for videos, articles, and documents, providing a TLDR, key points with timestamps, notable quotes, and audience recommendations. It automatically fetches content from URLs when available and preserves the original structure while compressing information. Use it when users request summaries, TLDRs, or need to evaluate if content is worth consuming.

Documentation
summarize
Give someone the content without the runtime.
Workflow
- Get the text. If the input is a URL and the
fetch-contentskill is installed, use its script; otherwise use your web fetch tool or ask for a paste. Keep the metadata. - Read fully, then write:
# <title>
**<author> · <platform> · <date> · <duration/length> · <views if notable>**
**TLDR:** one paragraph, ≤3 sentences — the actual thesis, not the topic.
## Key points
Bulleted. Each point = one idea, with [timestamp] or [p.N] so the
reader can jump to it. Preserve the content's own structure (if it
promises "14 ways", list all 14 — compressed, not truncated).
## Notable quotes
1–3 verbatim quotes that carry the content's voice, with locations.
## Worth your time?
One honest sentence per audience: who gains from the full version,
who is fine with this summary.
Rules
- Summarize what the content says, not what you think of it (that's the
bullshit-detectorskill — mention it if the content smells hyped, don't perform its job here). - Numbers, names, and claims must come from the content verbatim — no rounding, no "improving".
- If the content is listicle-shaped, the summary must contain the complete list. Never "...and 9 more ways".
- Scale length to source: a tweet gets 3 lines, a 3-hour podcast gets a full page.

Use the executing-plans skill when you have a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints. It loads and critically reviews the plan, then executes tasks in small batches (default 3 tasks) while reporting progress between each batch for architect review. This ensures systematic implementation with built-in quality control checkpoints.
This skill dispatches a code-reviewer subagent to analyze code changes against requirements before proceeding. It should be used after completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to main. The review helps catch issues early by comparing the current implementation with the original plan.
This skill provides a comprehensive guide for developers to connect MCP servers to Claude Code using HTTP, stdio, or SSE transports. It covers installation, configuration, authentication, and security for integrating external services like GitHub, Notion, and custom APIs. Use it when setting up MCP integrations, configuring external tools, or working with Claude's Model Context Protocol.
This skill helps developers choose between Claude Code Web and CLI interfaces based on task analysis, then enables seamless session teleportation between these environments. It optimizes workflow by managing session state and context when switching between web, CLI, or mobile. Use it for complex projects requiring different tools at various stages.
