If you guys are interested I can show more of the obsidian setup in another video and also provide a setup guide.
Here is the summarize skill if you'd like to use it:
github.com/reysu/ai-life-skills
It works for epub, pdf, youtube videos, podcasts. The length of the summary will be proportional to the length of the content so you can actually get an in depth summary. It will also spawn subagents to make subpages for any people or concepts mentioned. For super long books and podcasts (like multiple hours), it may take up to 20 minutes. I would also recommend you to use Opus 4.6 for everything (dumber or free models tend to generate slop)
Also I am not sponsored by Claude but I probably should be lol
