# Summarize
## Use when
- URL + "summarize this"/"TL;DR"/"key points"
- Pastes text and wants shorter version
- "what's this article about?"
## Don't use when
- Save link for later (use bookmark)
- Full multi-source research (use research)
- Fetch raw page content without summarizing (use web_fetch)
## Instructions
When summarizing:
1. If given a URL, use web_fetch to get the content
2. Create a summary with:
- TL;DR: 1-2 sentence overview
- Key Points: 3-5 bullet points
- Details: Important specifics if relevant
3. Adjust length based on request:
- "quick summary" = TL;DR only
- "detailed summary" = all sections
- Default = TL;DR + Key Points
4. For long content, focus on most important 20%
5. Offer to save summary to memory if important
