What it does
Knowledge Summarize is an agent skill from evolution-foundation/evo-nexus. Generate a TL;DR summary of a specific document or learning unit in the Knowledge base. Pulls chunks from pgvector and synthesizes via Claude Haiku. Use when the user wants a quick overview ('summary of lesson 5', 'TL;DR of this PDF', 'explain document X in one paragraph').
Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Summarization and Knowledge bases. It works with pgvector. The repository describes itself as: The open source operating system for AI-powered businesses.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants a quick overview (summary of lesson 5
- Explain document X in one paragraph)
Example prompts
- “summary of lesson 5”
- “TL;DR of this PDF”
- “explain document X in one paragraph”
- “/knowledge-summarize”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Fetch chunks
- Concatenate + truncate
- LLM call
- Render
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7f5dd76. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Knowledge Summarize loads about 612 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 150 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:84
` missing → "Set `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` in `.env`."
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 150 words (~612 tokens).
“Group: Consumption. Generate TL;DR of a document or unit using indexed chunks.”
