Automated summary

This skill fetches a webpage's content with web_fetch and condenses it into a structured summary (TL;DR, key points, quotes, source URL).

Strengths

  • Fixed, predictable output format: TL;DR, 3–5 key points, quotes, source
  • Adapts the summary angle to the content type (news, technical docs, research papers)
  • Explicit rule for long pages: focus on headings, first and last paragraphs, key data points

Limitations

  • Fully dependent on the web_fetch tool: unusable on paywalled, authenticated or blocked pages
  • The hard 5000-character threshold may drop nuance in dense content
  • Does not fact-check or verify the freshness of the summarized information
When to use it

Use it when you want the gist of an article, documentation page or research paper quickly from its URL.

When not to use it

Avoid it for pages behind a login or paywall, or when you need an exhaustive, precisely cited reading.

Security analysis

Caution
Quality score86/100

The skill is a benign summarization task but involves network retrieval via web_fetch. While not destructive or exfiltrating by itself, fetching arbitrary URLs introduces moderate risk if the agent has access to internal services or if URL comes from untrusted input. It does not instruct shell execution, data exfiltration, or disabling safety.

Findings
  • •Uses web_fetch to retrieve arbitrary URLs, which could be abused to access internal or sensitive endpoints if the agent environment has network access and the URL is attacker-influenced.
  • •No allowed-tools declared despite instructing use of web_fetch.
How this analysis is made

Examples

Summarize a news article
Summarize this article for me: https://example.com/news/2024/company-announcement — give me the TL;DR, key points and any notable quotes.
Condense technical release notes
Use web_fetch on https://docs.example.org/changelog and summarize the breaking changes and new features as key points.
Skim a research paper
Fetch https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.00001 and summarize the abstract, methodology, results and conclusion in a few bullet points.

Web Summary

Summarize any webpage or article into key points.

Instructions

  1. Use web_fetch(url="<target_url>") to get the page content
  2. If the page is too long (>5000 chars), focus on:
    • Title and main headings
    • First and last paragraphs
    • Key data points and quotes
  3. Produce a structured summary:
    • TL;DR (1-2 sentences)
    • Key Points (3-5 bullet points)
    • Notable Quotes (if any)
    • Source: original URL

Tips

  • For news articles: focus on who, what, when, where, why
  • For technical docs: focus on API changes, breaking changes, new features
  • For research papers: focus on abstract, methodology, results, conclusions

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/web-summary-mryiqht1/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/web-summary-mryiqht1' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/web-summary-mryiqht1/download' --output '.skill-downloads/web-summary-mryiqht1/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/web-summary-mryiqht1/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/web-summary-mryiqht1/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

This file does not provide a usable name/description header for this native procedure. It remains available to download and inspect; use the manual method below.

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/web-summary-mryiqht1/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
