Does it only summarize the text within the email?

No, the skill is designed to visit every article URL using a stealth browser to fetch the full original content for high-quality, detailed summarization.

What happens if an article is behind a paywall or unreachable?

The skill uses stealth-browser-mcp to bypass common blocks. If it still fails, it attempts a web search for the article title to find alternative content before falling back to the newsletter snippet.

Can I get summaries in languages other than English?

Currently, the skill is hardcoded to produce bilingual outputs in both English and Chinese for every run.

Which TLDR newsletter categories are supported?

It supports all major TLDR categories including AI, Tech, Dev, Marketing, Fintech, InfoSec, Product, and Design by filtering specific Gmail sender names.
