Usage Guidelines

Always pass the full URL or absolute file path.
For YouTube, use the full
```
watch?v=
```
URL — short links may not resolve.
If the user asks to "look up", "read", or "check" a link, default to summarizing it.
Present the summary in a clean, readable format — use bullet points for articles, prose for videos/podcasts.

Notes

Requires an active internet connection for remote content.
Very large PDFs may take longer to process.
If
```
summarize
```
is not installed, check the project docs for the install method.
