Summarize Note
Summarize an Obsidian note by replacing the #summarize-later tag with a structured summary and actionable takeaways. No other part of the note is modified — frontmatter (tags, status, finished, etc.) remains untouched.
Workflow
- Find the note — Search the vault using Grep or Glob to locate the note by title.
- Read the full content — Load the entire note to understand its argument, evidence, and conclusions.
- Replace
#summarize-later— Swap the tag with the summary block described below.
Summary Format
Replace #summarize-later with a single paragraph (3-6 sentences) that:
- Captures the core argument or thesis, not just the topic
- Includes key findings, numbers, or outcomes if present
- Is written in plain prose, not bullet points
- Matches the tone of a knowledgeable peer explaining what the article is about
