Purpose
Before reading a long README end to end, get a structured outline (background, features, use cases, caveats, etc.; exact structure varies with the prompt).
AI summary
Entry points
- Detail AI panel → Summary (⇧⌘A)
- Auto Tidy batch generation
Cache
Summaries are stored in local cache to avoid repeat token use. Clear summary cache under Settings → Storage. See Storage management. Regenerating calls the model again (cost and quota depend on your Provider).Quality notes
- Summaries do not replace reading the license, security advisories, or latest Release
- Very short or image-only READMEs produce weaker summaries
- Requires Pro + an available Chat model
