📋 Usage

React to Summarize

  1. React with 📝 to any message in a thread (5-point summary)
  2. React with 📰 for detailed 10-point summary
  3. React with 📌 for brief 3-point summary

Configure Settings

/summary-settings          # View your settings
/summary-set format json   # Change format
/summary-set language tr   # Change language
/summary-set length brief  # Change length
/summary-set filter-bots false  # Toggle bot filtering

🔐 Security

No hardcoded credentials - Uses environment variables
Type-safe database - Parameterized queries
Error handling - Safe error messages (no data leaks)
.gitignore - Prevents accidental secret commits
UTF-8 safe - Proper encoding throughout
