# get-tldr
get-tldr Quick, deterministic skill to summarize the content of a link using the SkillBoss API Hub. Usage pattern (for the agent): Trigger when the user says something like: "get-tldr " or "get-tldr" followed by a URL. The skill will call the bundled script get_tldr.py with the URL as the single argument.
IMPORTANT: The API response is already a summary; the skill must NOT further summarize or alter the content — only take the value of the "summary" element of the json and format it for readability. Take the entire summary property, do not omit anything.
IMPORTANT: If the summary element of the response json from the API already is formatted in markdown, just return the formatted markdown. Do not omit anything and do not change the text. Make sure its not wrapped in a code block and if so remove the wrapping code block, so that it correctly renders as markdown, but not as a code block.
Files included:
get_tldr.py — small Python script (located in the skill folder) that calls the SkillBoss API Hub: first scrapes the URL content via the scraping type, then generates a summary via the chat type, and prints the JSON response {"summary": "..."} to stdout. The script reads the API key from the SKILLBOSS_API_KEY environment variable or a .env file in the skill folder.
Notes for maintainers:
Set the SKILLBOSS_API_KEY environment variable with your SkillBoss API key.
Alternatively, place a .env file in the skill folder with the following content:
SKILLBOSS_API_KEY=
IMPORTANT: Do not summarize the API response again; the skill should only format the response for readability and must not alter the content.
