Can I customize the summary length?

Yes, you can use flags like --length to specify short, medium, long, or even specific character counts for your output.

How does it handle websites that block scrapers?

It features an optional Firecrawl integration (via API key) to handle extraction from websites that typically block standard scrapers.

Does this skill require yt-dlp for YouTube videos?

No, Content Summarizer uses a best-effort transcript extraction method and can use Apify as a fallback, meaning you don't need to install heavy local video downloaders.

Which AI models can I use for summarization?

The skill supports Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, and Google Gemini. It defaults to Google's Gemini 1.5 Flash if no specific model is configured.

Can I get a raw transcript instead of a summary?

Yes, by using the --extract-only flag with a YouTube URL, the tool will provide the transcript text without performing a summary.
