summarize-anything
Turn a long article, email thread, document, or transcript into a tight summary you can act on — the gist, the key points, and what it means for you. Use when asked for a TL;DR, to summarize this, give me the gist, or the key takeaways. Produces a one-line TL;DR, the key points as scannable bullets, any decisions/action items with owners, and open questions — faithful to the source, with nothing invented and important caveats kept.
npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill summarize-anything --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Summarize Anything A summary is only useful if you can trust it — which means it can't quietly drop the caveat that changes everything or invent a takeaway that wasn't there. This compresses hard while staying faithful: the one-line gist for the busy, the key points for the skimmer, and — for threads and meetings — the decisions and who-owes-what, so a summary becomes something you can act on, not just a shorter read. ## What This Skill Produces - **TL;DR** — one line, the single most important thing - **Key points** — the 3–7 that carry the meaning, as scannable bullets - **Decisions & action items** — for threads/meetings: what was decided, who owns what, by when - **Open questions / caveats** — what's unresolved or conditional (kept, not smoothed away) ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The source** — paste the text (article, thread, doc, transcript) - **What you need from it** — just the gist, or the decisions, or "should I read the whole thing?" - **Length** — one-liner, a paragraph, or the fuller structured version ## Framework: Compress Without Distorting 1. **Faithful first.** Every point traces to the source; nothing is added, sharpened, or invented. 2

Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
