Summarize-File Skill

Purpose

Extracts key insights from text files (logs, reports, notes) and returns 2-3 sentence summaries. Ignores boilerplate/empty lines.

Usage Examples

User: summarize file C:\Users\user\Desktop\report.txt Claw: File contains Q1 sales report: Revenue up 12% YoY, expenses flat, net profit +8%. Key risks: supply chain delays.

User: summarize file workspace/error.log Claw: Error log (Feb 22): 14 auth failures (IP 192.168.1.50), 2 DB timeouts, no critical crashes.

How It Works

1. Reads file content via workspace.read tool
2. Strips empty lines, headers, timestamps
3. Feeds to LLM with summarization prompt
4. Returns concise 2-3 sentence summary

Security & Privacy

• L1 Risk: Read-only file access
• No network calls, no external APIs
• Local processing only
• File paths validated (no ../ escapes)

External Endpoints

None. Purely local file → LLM → text.

Trust Statement

This skill reads local files and summarizes locally. No data leaves your machine.
