Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @muhammadmuazzain/summarize-file
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install summarize-file
What This Skill Does
Reads text files from local paths or workspace and returns a 2-3 sentence summary of key content. Strips boilerplate, empty lines, and timestamps before summarizing. Works with logs, reports, CSVs, and general text files.
All processing stays local with no network calls, so sensitive files never leave the machine.
When to use it
- Get the gist of a long error log without scrolling
- Quickly summarize a meeting notes file
- Pull key points from a downloaded CSV report
- Check what a debug log captured overnight
- Scan a text-based report before a meeting
