Part of the **mindwork** suite. Condenses sessions and journals into digestible formats for quick reference and sharing.
## What It Does
1. **Condenses** content to requested length
2. **Tailors** output for different audiences

## Key Difference from Analyze
| Skill | Focus | Output |
|-------|-------|--------|
| `analyze` | Deep dive - WHY and HOW | Patterns, themes, insights |
| `summary` | Quick reference - WHAT | Condensed key points |
**Summary gives you the "what happened", analyze gives you the "what it means".**
