Document Summariser | Chalie Skills

What it does

Read and summarise a long document, PDF, or webpage into key points, an executive summary, or a Q&A.

When this skill is activated, Chalie follows these steps:

Use recall to surface any prior summaries or user preferences for this type of document before fetching.
Ask the user for the document source (URL, file, or pasted text) and what format they want: executive summary, bullet-point key takeaways, section-by-section breakdown, or Q&A — then use web_fetch for a URL or read for a file to fetch the content.
If the content comes back incomplete, use browser to render the page and extract the full text.
Use read to extract author and publication/last-updated date from the document metadata or byline — note both at the top of the summary via write_file.
Use write_file to capture the core structure: main argument or purpose, key sections, supporting evidence, conclusions, and any calls to action or recommendations.
Use write_file to produce the requested summary format: executive summary (3–5 sentences), key takeaways (5–10 bullets), or section-by-section notes with page/section references.
If the user wants Q&A, answer each question via write_file with a direct quote or paraphrase plus section reference.
Use news to surface related recent coverage on the same topic if the user wants broader context — then save the full summary using write_file.
