Summary
Raw transcripts are long. Users often want a short summary, key points, and timestamped quotes without re-listening.
Motivation / evidence
Library already contains hour-long interviews (12k–16k+ words). Manual summarization per episode doesn’t scale.
Proposal
podtx summarize path/to/episode.json
podtx summarize --feed corecursive-coding-stories --limit 5
Produce a sidecar summary (e.g. .summary.md or JSON) with:
- short overview
- key points / takeaways
- optional notable quotes with timestamps
Use a pluggable backend (local model and/or API), configured explicitly—no silent external calls.
Out of scope
Full chat-with-podcast UI, automatic publishing to blogs/newsletters.
Acceptance criteria
