extract-excerpt

To automatically generate frontmatter excerpts for translated markdown articles, this skill selects the first real body paragraph and writes it into the YAML excerpt field. It requires explicit slugs and a target root directory from the caller to process single or batch backfill workflows.

Excerpt extraction identifies the opening paragraph by skipping non-body elements like headings, images, code blocks, and CTA lines. It then ranks the remaining candidate paragraphs to perform semantic selection, picking the first real body content to use as the excerpt.

Yes, you can batch backfill missing excerpt fields in YAML frontmatter by providing explicit slugs and a target root. The skill processes multiple articles, skipping any that already have an excerpt unless you explicitly set the overwrite option.

Generating markdown excerpts will not modify your existing content or translation. The skill writes the excerpt back into the YAML frontmatter without translating the text, changing dates, or altering any non-excerpt fields in the markdown file.

A limitation of yml yaml excerpt generation is that it requires explicit slugs and target root inputs from the caller. Additionally, it only inserts or replaces the excerpt field in a specific location and does not translate the text or process non-excerpt frontmatter fields.
