Description
Summarizes URLs, articles, YouTube videos, PDFs, and pasted text into a structured digest with TL;DR, key takeaways, and action items. Use this skill wheneve...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (summarize content) and has no install or credential requirements, but it does two things you should be aware of: (1) it will automatically activate and fetch any URL a user shares (per the instructions), and (2) it saves summaries to ~/.openclaw/summaries and will read that folder when asked. If you care about privacy or accidental fetching of sensitive links, ask the publisher to: disable or make explicit the automatic activation on link-sharing (require user confirmation), allow opting out of local archival or choosing the archive path, and document whether external search/transcript APIs are used and whether they require any credentials. If you decide to install, ensure your agent's autonomy settings require confirmation before fetching external URLs or performing network I/O for unprompted link shares.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: smart-summarizer-v1
Version: 1.0.0
The 'smart-summarizer' skill is a standard utility for generating structured summaries of URLs, PDFs, and text. It includes a local archiving feature that saves summaries to the `~/.openclaw/summaries/` directory and allows the agent to search through them later. The instructions in `SKILL.md` are well-defined, focus on accuracy, and do not contain any indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized system access.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (summarize URLs, YouTube, PDFs, pasted text) aligns with the instructions. Requested capabilities (fetch pages, extract transcripts/PDF text, summarize pasted text) are reasonable for the described purpose. The only persistent artifact (saving summaries) is coherent with the archive feature.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md tells the agent to fetch arbitrary URLs (via web search or direct fetch), extract YouTube transcripts, and extract PDF text — all expected — but it also instructs the agent to auto-activate when a user shares a URL without explicit instruction. That proactive activation combined with automatic fetching and saving of content could cause network requests and local writes the user didn't explicitly consent to. The archive read/write behaviour (scan ~/.openclaw/summaries) is specified and limited to its own path, but it still implies the skill will both write and later read user data.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files (instruction-only). This is low risk from an install perspective because nothing is fetched or written at install time.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, no credentials, and no config paths beyond its own archive directory. That is proportionate to a summarizer. One note: the instructions mention doing web searches or fetching content; if the runtime implementation uses third‑party search or transcript APIs it may need keys, but none are declared.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill persists summaries to ~/.openclaw/summaries/[YYYY-MM-DD]-[slug].md and will scan that archive on request. Writing to its own per-user directory is normal, but combined with the automatic activation heuristic it means the skill may autonomously fetch, store, and later read user-shared content. The skill is not marked always:true and does not request system-wide config changes.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install smart-summarizer-v1 - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/smart-summarizer-v1 - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
Version 1.0.0 — Initial Release
- Instantly summarizes links, articles, YouTube videos, PDFs, and pasted text into a structured, concise digest.
- Auto-detects input type (URL, YouTube, PDF, or pasted text) and processes accordingly.
- Standard output includes TL;DR, key takeaways (with concrete details), and relevant action items.
- Honest assessment tells users if the full content is worth reading versus the summary.
- Fully supports both English and Chinese content, with automatic language detection.
- Batch mode summarizes multiple items and highlights common themes.
- Summaries are saved for easy future reference and searching.
- Clearly reports if a source can't be accessed instead of guessing the content.
