Install in OpenClaw
/install get-tldr
Description
Provide the summary returned by the get-tldr.com summarize API without further summarization; the skill should format the API output for readability but must not change its content.
Usage Guidance
Before installing, make sure you are comfortable sending target URLs to get-tldr.com and storing submitted URLs plus returned summaries in a local log. Use a dedicated get-tldr API key, keep config and .env files private, and configure or delete the logfile if the summarized links may contain sensitive query strings or private content.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: get-tldr
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is designed to summarize URLs using the get-tldr.com API. It retrieves an API key from standard configuration locations (~/.config/get-tldr/config.json, environment variable, or .env file) and makes a POST request to the specified API endpoint. The script logs the input URL and the full API response to a local file (~/.config/get-tldr/skill.log by default), which is a common practice for debugging/auditing and not considered exfiltration. The SKILL.md instructions explicitly guide the agent to avoid further summarization or alteration of the API response, acting as a defensive measure against prompt injection. All observed behaviors are aligned with the stated purpose and lack clear malicious intent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose, bundled script, hardcoded API endpoint, payload, and stdout behavior align with summarizing a URL through the get-tldr.com API.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrow: trigger on a user-provided URL, call the bundled script, and present the API summary without altering its content.
Install Mechanism
There is no automatic installer or hidden setup; the script requires the Python requests package and only prints an install suggestion if it is missing.
Credentials
The skill reads a get-tldr API key from local config, an environment variable, or a local .env file, which is proportionate to authenticating with the stated API.
Persistence & Privilege
The script writes a local logfile containing the submitted URL and API response by default; this is disclosed in the artifacts and configurable, but may retain sensitive URLs or summary content.

- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install get-tldr - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
