What This Skill Does
Generates summaries of chat histories by calling an external summary API. Accepts a list of messages in JSON format and returns a concise overview. Supports incremental updates by passing a previous summary as context.
Incremental summary support means you can update an existing summary rather than reprocessing the entire conversation each time.
When to use it
- Recap a long support chat before escalating to a human agent
- Catch up on a conversation thread you left mid-way
- Archive a key points summary after a project planning session
- Summarize a multi-turn research session into a short brief
- Generate a running summary as a conversation grows longer
