Summarize source
Skill sumitaich1998/jarvisvr/skills/research/summarize-source
Condense a single source — a URL, article, document, or pasted text — into key points the user can read at a glance. Use for "summarize this", "TL;DR", "give me the key points", or as a summarizer sub-agent merging one of several sources. Triggers: summarize, tldr, key points, gist, condense, brief me on this, what's the takeaway.From its SKILL.md

Summarize Source
Produce a faithful, compact summary of one source and present it as a
sectioned panel (or open the original in a document_viewer). This is also the
unit of work for a summarizer sub-agent in a fan-out (protocol §9.2 handoff).
Steps
- Acquire the content. Provided text → use directly. A URL →
web_search(or fetch via provider) to obtain the page text. - Extract structure: a one-line thesis, 3–5 key points, and any numbers / dates / names worth keeping.
- Compose the summary. Lead with the thesis; bullet the points; preserve source attribution. Stay faithful — never add claims the source doesn't make.
- Render a
panelwithsections, orshow_documentto open the original alongside. - Speak a 1-sentence TL;DR; offer the full panel for detail.
Output
panel (show_panel, props per registry.json):
{ "widget_type": "panel",
"props": { "title": "Summary — Quest 4 review",
"body": "Strong display gains, same comfort tradeoffs.",
"sections": [
{ "heading": "Key points", "text": "1) Brighter pancake lenses 2) Better passthrough 3) Heavier" },
{ "heading": "Source", "text": "TechNews, 2026" } ],
"scrollable": true } }
Spoken TL;DR:
{ "text": "TL;DR: a meaningful display upgrade, but comfort is unchanged.", "final": true }
As a sub-agent (fan-out)
When merging several sources, each summarizer sub-agent (a1.1, a1.2, …)
summarizes one source and returns its {thesis, points, source}; the parent
research-agent reconciles overlaps and dedupes before handing to
result-synthesis / present-data.
Edge cases
- Paywalled / unreachable URL → summarize the snippet you have and flag that it's partial; never invent the body.
- Very long doc → summarize hierarchically (per-section, then overall) and
open it in
document_viewerwithpage_countset. - Conflicting claims within the source → present them as the source's open question, don't resolve silently.
- Code/tabular content → use
code_viewer/data_tableinstead of prose.
