1. 1pager
1pager is a Claude Code skill — a scripted prompt-plus-workflow rather than a hosted app — that takes a long document, chat thread, or directory and condenses it into a bullet-first, single-page summary, then exports both a Markdown file and a DOCX. The core constraint is deliberate: least verbosity possible, with AI-tell language explicitly targeted. The workflow is a one-shot run, not an interactive loop. At the moment it only runs inside Claude Code environments, so teams without that context have no supported path to use it. One GitHub commit marks this as early-stage; expect gaps in edge-case handling.

2. Humanize
The two skills — `humanize` and `ai-check` — work inside Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini, Codex CLI, Cursor, and comparable agents, not as a hosted API but as instruction files dropped into your agent's context. `humanize` rewrites text across nine documented levers drawn from 50+ peer-reviewed sources through April 2026. `ai-check` runs the reverse: forensic scoring with quoted evidence flagging the specific phrases that read as AI-generated. Because the skills are static files, there is no server, no rate limit, and no external dependency — but there is also no adaptive learning, no feedback loop, and no guarantee a detector updated after April 2026 won't develop new signals the rules don't cover yet.

3. OpenBrief
The workflow is a single desktop session: import a local file or supported web link, generate a transcript (pulling existing captions when available to skip unnecessary processing), ask questions grounded in the transcript, and export a clean Markdown file. Nothing leaves your device. That privacy guarantee is the product — not a feature tier. Where it breaks: this is a one-shot summarization and Q&A tool, not an agent. It does not connect to calendars, trigger follow-up tasks, or push notes anywhere automatically. Teams that need downstream automation — routing action items into Notion, Slack, or a CRM — have to handle that export step themselves.
