Summarizer for news articles, blog posts, videos, and podcasts. Structured summaries with citations, thesis, themes, and critical analysis. Not for academic papers; use summary-academic. Triggers on "summarize this", "summarize this article", "general summary", "/general-summary", "quick summary", "brief summary", and "/general-summary quick".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# General Content Summary Use this skill for **non-academic content**: news articles, blog posts, opinion pieces, videos, podcasts, interviews, reports, and general web content. For academic papers, research articles, peer-reviewed publications, preprints, or dissertations, use the **summary-academic** skill instead. ## Input Handling - **PDF attachments**: First check for an existing `<basename>_text.md` extract in the PDF's folder; if it exists, read the extract instead of the PDF (preferred at any size). Otherwise check the page count (PyPDF2 or `pdfinfo`): - **4 pages or fewer**: read the PDF directly in the main thread before summarizing. - **More than 4 pages**: do not read it in the main thread. Split it into 4-page chunks with the split-pdf skill and read the chunks in a subagent that writes `notes.md`, then read `notes.md` as text and summarize from it. This keeps the full document out of the main context window. - **TXT attachments**: Read the full document before summarizing. - **Web links**: Fetch and extract the content. - **Video/podcast links**: Extract the transcript or available description. - **Pasted text**: Process directly. ## Style Requirements …

How to install
mdr add ai-business-tools/claude-code/summary-general@sha256:937e53f421e0df1dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.80a4dcd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
