Link Triage — AI Reads So You Don't Have To
You save 30 links a day. You read maybe 2. The rest rot in bookmarks until you forget they exist.
Link Triage turns any URL into a 3-5 line summary with key takeaways, category, and relevance score — so you know what's worth your time without reading the full thing.
Setup
Drop-in prompt (copy into your AI tool):
เมื่อผมส่ง URL มา ให้: 1. อ่านเนื้อหาทั้งหมด 2. สรุปเป็น 3-5 bullet points เน้น key takeaway 3. จัดหมวดหมู่ (tech, business, personal, research) 4. ให้คะแนน relevance 1-5 ว่าเกี่ยวกับงานที่ทำอยู่แค่ไหน 5. ถ้า relevance 4-5 บอกว่าเกี่ยวยังไงและควรอ่านเต็มไหม
English version:
When I send a URL: 1. Read the full content 2. Summarize in 3-5 bullet points focusing on key takeaways 3. Categorize (tech, business, personal, research) 4. Score relevance 1-5 for how related it is to my current work 5. If relevance 4-5, explain why and whether I should read the full article
What it handles
Works with any content type your AI can access:
- Articles & blogs — extract and summarize
- Tweets & threads — pull full thread, summarize the argument
- YouTube videos — transcript extraction → summary
- GitHub repos — README + structure → what it does, why it matters
- PDFs & research papers — extract key findings
- Newsletters — pull the 2-3 items that matter
Add to your CLAUDE.md
markdown### Link triage When I send a URL, automatically read the content, summarize in 3-5 bullets, categorize, and score relevance 1-5 to my current work. If relevance is 4+, explain why I should care.
Building a reading queue (optional)
If you want to track what you've read and what's pending:
เก็บ log ของทุกลิงก์ที่ส่งมาใน reading-queue.md แต่ละ entry มี: title, URL, summary, category, relevance score, status (unread/read/archived) เรียงตาม relevance สูงสุดก่อน
This gives you a persistent, searchable reading queue that you can review weekly.
When to use
- Someone sends you a link in chat — triage it before deciding to read
- You're catching up on newsletters — batch triage 10 links in 2 minutes
- You found an interesting thread at midnight — save and triage, read tomorrow
- Weekly reading review — scan your queue, archive what's stale
Technical notes
- Works with any AI tool. Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini — any tool that can fetch URLs.
- Accuracy depends on access. Some sites block AI extraction (paywalled content, JS-heavy pages). The AI will tell you when it can't access something.
- Relevance scoring improves over time. The more context your AI has about your work (via CLAUDE.md or hot cache), the better it scores relevance.
