Does this skill require the Gemini API key to be on my remote server?

No, this skill is specifically designed to use the Gemini API key configured on your local machine to summarize sessions stored on remote systems.

How does the remote summarizer handle data privacy?

It uses a transient workflow where sessions are imported temporarily to your local machine, processed, and then immediately deleted, leaving only the summary on the remote system.

What operating systems are supported?

The skill works across any environment where Chronicle and SSH are available, including FreeBSD, Linux, and macOS.

What happens if the SSH connection is unstable during summarization?

While the one-line command is efficient, the skill also supports a manual 3-step workflow using temporary files to ensure data integrity during unreliable connections.

How is this skill triggered within Claude Code?

It auto-activates based on natural language prompts like 'summarize session on remote' or 'import session from FreeBSD'.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates AI-powered summarization of remote development sessions by securely transferring and processing session data between systems.

About

Chronicle Remote Summarizer bridges the gap between development servers and local machines by enabling AI session summarization on systems without direct API access. It facilitates a seamless workflow where session data is exported from a remote host (like FreeBSD), summarized locally using the Gemini API via a transient process, and then re-imported back to the original system. This ensures comprehensive session tracking and intelligent documentation across multi-environment development setups without polluting local storage or requiring complex API configurations on every server.

Key Features

Automated Gemini API integration for remote session summaries
Cross-system session synchronization via SSH piping
Transient local processing with auto-cleanup of temporary files
Quiet mode for clean JSON data transfers between machines
Automated remote system configuration management
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Centralizing AI-generated documentation for workflows spread across multiple cloud instances
Generating session summaries for restricted environments via an authorized local bridge
Summarizing development sessions on a FreeBSD server using a local machine's Gemini API key
