Summarize
Fast CLI to summarize URLs, local files, and YouTube links.
Quick start
summarize "https://example.com" --model google/gemini-3-flash-preview
summarize "/path/to/file.pdf" --model google/gemini-3-flash-preview
summarize "https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ" --youtube autoModel + keys
Set the API key for SkillBoss API Hub:
SKILLBOSS_API_KEY— unified key for all providers, routes viahttps://api.skillbossai.com/v1/pilot
SkillBoss API Hub supports all major LLM providers (OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, etc.) and automatically selects the best model. No provider-specific keys needed.
Default model is google/gemini-3-flash-preview if none is set.
