# Paleo Summary

Condenses long tool outputs, logs, diffs, or documents into concise summaries while preserving key details. Use when you need to save context tokens on bulky payloads.

**Install:** `git clone https://github.com/mocasus/paleo`

## README

# paleo-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.

## Switch
- `paleo-summary` / `tldr` / `condense this` on. `full output` off.

## 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.
