Fetch & Summarize

Given a URL, fetch its content and return a concise markdown summary.

Steps:

Fetch the page with WebFetch (or Bash with curl -sL <url> | head -200 as a fallback).
Extract the main content — ignore nav, footer, ads, and boilerplate.
Return a structured summary with:
- Title (the page's <title> or heading)
- One-paragraph overview of what the page is about
- Key points as a bullet list (max 5)
- Source — the URL fetched

Do not save or write the fetched content anywhere. Return the summary directly.
