# /asciinema-tools:summarize
AI-powered iterative deep-dive analysis for large .txt recordings. Uses guided sampling and AskUserQuestion to progressively explore the content.
> **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
## Philosophy
Large recordings (1GB+) cannot be read entirely. This command uses:
1. **Initial guidance** - What are you looking for?
2. **Strategic sampling** - Head, middle, tail + keyword-targeted sections
3. **Iterative refinement** - AskUserQuestion to drill deeper into findings
4. **Progressive synthesis** - Build understanding through multiple passes
## Arguments
| Argument | Description |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `file` | Path to .txt file (converted from .cast) |
| `--topic` | Initial focus area (e.g., "ML training", "errors") |
| `--depth` | Analysis depth: `quick`, `medium`, `deep` |
| `--output` | Save findings to markdown file |
## Workflow
### Phase 1: Initial Guidance
```yaml
AskUserQuestion:
question: "What are you trying to understand from this recording?"
header: "Focus"
options:
- label: "General overview"
description: "What happened in this session? Key activities and outcomes"
- label: "Key findings/decisions"
