TL;DR Summaries

NIP-TLDR: TL;DR Summaries

Summary

This NIP defines a custom event kind for storing AI-generated summaries of Nostr content.

Event Kind

• 7939: TL;DR Summary

Description

A kind:7939 event represents an AI-generated summary of one or more Nostr events or raw text content. These summaries are meant to provide concise, blunt overviews of longer content.

Event Format

Required Tags

• summary: A brief title/description of what was summarized
• alt: Human-readable description for compatibility (NIP-31)

Optional Tags

• model: The AI model used to generate the summary (e.g., "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022")
• e: Event ID(s) of the summarized Nostr event(s) (can have multiple)
• p: Pubkey(s) of author(s) of the summarized content (can have multiple)
• t: Hashtags related to the content (can have multiple)
• raw-text: Set to "true" if the summary was generated from raw text rather than Nostr events
• original-text: The original raw text content that was summarized (only present when raw-text is "true")
• client: Name of the client application that created the summary

Content

The content field contains the full AI-generated summary text in plain text or markdown format.

Examples

Nostr Thread Summary

{
  "kind": 7939,
  "content": "**TL;DR:** This thread discusses the implementation of NIP-42 relay authentication. The consensus is that while useful for private relays, it adds unnecessary complexity for public relays. Key concerns raised include privacy implications and potential centralization. Overall sentiment: cautiously supportive with reservations.",
  "tags": [
    ["summary", "Discussion about NIP-42 relay authentication"],
    ["model", "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"],
    ["alt", "AI-generated summary of Nostr thread about NIP-42 relay authentication"],
    ["e", "abc123...", "", "root"],
    ["e", "def456...", ""],
    ["e", "ghi789...", ""],
    ["p", "author1pubkey..."],
    ["p", "author2pubkey..."],
    ["t", "nostr"],
    ["t", "nip-42"],
    ["client", "tldr"]
  ],
  "pubkey": "user_pubkey...",
  "created_at": 1234567890,
  "id": "event_id...",
  "sig": "signature..."
}

Raw Text Summary

{
  "kind": 7939,
  "content": "TL;DR: Article explains how quantum computing poses a threat to current cryptographic systems and proposes post-quantum cryptography solutions.",
  "tags": [
    ["summary", "Text Summary"],
    ["model", "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"],
    ["alt", "AI-generated summary: Text Summary"],
    ["raw-text", "true"],
    ["original-text", "Quantum computing represents both an opportunity and a threat to modern cryptography. While current encryption methods rely on the computational difficulty of certain mathematical problems, quantum computers could potentially solve these problems exponentially faster..."],
    ["client", "tldr"]
  ],
  "pubkey": "user_pubkey...",
  "created_at": 1234567890,
  "id": "event_id...",
  "sig": "signature..."
}

Use Cases

1. Event Summaries: Summarize individual Nostr events (notes, articles, etc.)
2. Thread Summaries: Summarize entire conversation threads
3. Raw Text Summaries: Summarize arbitrary text content
4. Content Curation: Create shareable summaries for discovery and curation

Implementation Notes

• Summaries should be concise and capture the main points
• The tone should be direct and informative
• Multiple e tags can reference all events in a summarized thread
• The summary tag provides a quick overview for feeds and lists
• Applications can query by #e tag to find summaries of specific events
