About paleo-summary
paleo-summary is an agent skill for condensing bulky content such as tool results, logs, diffs and dumps. It reduces repetition while retaining diagnostic details and important fields, with three levels of compression.
Key features
- 01Condense tool results and logs
- 02Retain errors, IDs and key fields
- 03Summarize diffs and tables
- 04Choose among three compression levels
Use cases
- 01Review lengthy logs while keeping errors
- 02Scan diffs for consequential changes
- 03Reduce repeated data in tool output
Install

Details
From the project READMEpaleo-summary
Condense bulky content. Tool results, logs, diffs, dumps → tight intisari.
Rules
- Lead with the answer/result, then supporting detail.
- Preserve: status codes, error messages, IDs, paths, numbers, key fields.
- Drop: stack traces beyond the root-cause line, repeated rows, boilerplate banners.
- Logs: keep first error + last N lines + counts (e.g. "12 WARN, 3 ERROR").
- Diffs: summarize file set + net change; show only consequential hunks.
- Tables/lists: keep header + outliers, summarize the rest.
Levels
lite: trim noise, keep structure.full(default): intisari + preserved key fields.ultra: one-line result + the single most important detail.

Gotchas
- Never drop the actual error string — that's the diagnosis.
- If the content is the deliverable (a generated file), don't summarize it; deliver as-is.
- Security/credential output: summarize counts, never echo secrets.
