Chrome Bookmark Summarizer

Extract webpages from a Chrome bookmark folder (based on the user-provided folder name) and produce structured summaries.

When to Use

• The user mentions "Chrome bookmarks", "favorites", "bookmark folder", or "summarize saved links"
• You need to batch-read links by folder name and produce summaries
• You need to filter URLs from a local bookmarks file before summarizing webpage content

Workflow

1. Confirm input parameters

   • Required: target folder name (for example, AI Research)
   • Optional: match mode (exact or contains)
   • Optional: whether to recurse into subfolders (default: recursive)

2. Run the extraction script (JSON output)

python3 "scripts/extract_chrome_bookmarks.py" --folder "AI Research"

Common options:

# Fuzzy folder-name matching
python3 "scripts/extract_chrome_bookmarks.py" --folder "AI" --match-mode contains

# If multiple folders share the same name, return only the first match
python3 "scripts/extract_chrome_bookmarks.py" --folder "AI Research" --pick-first

# Extract only direct links (no subfolders)
python3 "scripts/extract_chrome_bookmarks.py" --folder "AI Research" --non-recursive

3. Parse output and handle errors

   • ok=false: return a clear error to the user (folder not found, invalid path, etc.)
   • ok=true: read results[].urls[] for downstream summarization

4. Batch webpage summarization

   • Fetch page content for each URL (prefer full body text; fall back to title + short description on failure)
   • Recommended output structure:
     • Page title
     • Core takeaway (1-2 sentences)
     • Key points (2-4 bullets)
     • Relevance to user goal (one sentence)

5. Final aggregation

   • Keep the original bookmark order
   • Add a cross-page comparison at the end:
     • Shared themes
     • Differing viewpoints
     • Recommended reading order

Notes

• Default Chrome bookmarks path on macOS:
  • ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Bookmarks
• If the user has multiple Chrome profiles, ask for a specific Bookmarks file path and pass it with --bookmarks.
• Duplicate folder names may exist; by default all matches are returned. Use --pick-first to keep only one.
