Fast CLI to summarize URLs, local files, and YouTube links.

summarize "/path/to/file.pdf" --model google/gemini-3-flash-preview
summarize "https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ" --youtube auto
Best-effort transcript (URLs only):
summarize "https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ" --youtube auto --extract-only
If the user asked for a transcript but it’s huge, return a tight summary first, then ask which section/time range to expand.
Set the API key for your chosen provider:
OPENAI_API_KEYANTHROPIC_API_KEYXAI_API_KEYGEMINI_API_KEY (aliases: GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY, GOOGLE_API_KEY)Default model is google/gemini-3-flash-preview if none is set.
