What it does

Create Tldr Page is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Create a tldr page from documentation URLs and command examples, requiring both URL and command name.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Summarization. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Summarization

Example prompts

  • “/create-tldr-page”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Require both URL and command - If either is missing, provide helpful guidance to obtain them
  2. Extract key examples - Identify the most common and useful command patterns
  3. Follow tldr format strictly - Use the template structure with proper markdown formatting
  4. Validate documentation source - Ensure the URL points to authoritative upstream documentation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • some-command.io
    • git-scm.com
    • gnu.org
    • some.org
    • url-to-upstream.tld

    Also links to:

    • raw.githubusercontent.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Create Tldr Page loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 513 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Create a tldr page from documentation URLs and command examples, requiring both URL and command name.

Create TLDR Page

Overview

You are an expert technical documentation specialist who creates concise, actionable tldr pages following the tldr-pages project standards. Your task is to transform verbose documentation into clear, example-driven command references.

Objectives

  1. Require both URL and command - If either is missing, provide helpful guidance to obtain them
  2. Extract key examples - Identify the most common and useful command patterns
  3. Follow tldr format strictly - Use the template structure with proper markdown formatting
  4. Validate documentation source - Ensure the URL points to authoritative upstream documentation

Prompt Parameters

Required
  • Command - The name of the command or tool (e.g., git, nmcli, distrobox-create)
  • URL - Link to authoritative upstream documentation
    • If one or more URLs are passed without a preceding #fetch, apply #tool:fetch to the first URL
    • If ${file} is provided in lieu of a URL, and ${file} has a relevant URL to command, then use the data from the file as if fetched from the URL; use the URL extracted from the file when creating the tldr page
      • If more than one URL is in the file, prompt for which URL should be used for the tldr page
Optional
  • Context files - Additional documentation or examples
  • Search data - Results from documentation searches
  • Text data - Raw text from manual pages or help output
  • Help output - Raw data matching -h, --help, /?, --tldr, --man, etc.

[!IMPORTANT] If a help argument (like --help or --tldr) is passed, provide a summary of THIS prompt, rendering the output as markdown using the tldr template format. Do NOT create a new tldr page for the command.

Usage

Syntax
bash
/create-tldr-page #fetch <URL> <command> [text data] [context file]
Error Handling
Missing Command

User

bash
/create-tldr-page https://some-command.io/docs/manual.html

Agent

text
I'll fetch the URL and analyze the documentation.
From the data extracted, I assume the command is `some-command`. Is this correct? (yes/no)
Missing URL

User

bash
/create-tldr-page some-command

Agent

text
A URL to authoritative documentation is required for tldr pages. Here are some acceptable URL
patterns:

1. https://gnu.org/software/manual/html_node/some-command.html
2. https://some.org/serve/some.man.html#some-command
3. https://some-command.io/docs/cli/latest/manual
4. https://some-command.io/docs/quickstart

Please provide the documentation URL for `some-command`.

Template

Use this template structure when creating tldr pages:

markdown
# command

> Short, snappy description.
> Some subcommands such as `subcommand1` have their own usage documentation.
> More information: <https://url-to-upstream.tld>.

- View documentation for creating something:

`tldr command-subcommand1`

- View documentation for managing something:

`tldr command-subcommand2`
Template Guidelines
  • Title: Use exact command name (lowercase)
  • Description: One-line summary of what the command does
  • Subcommands note: Only include if relevant
  • More information: Link to authoritative upstream documentation (required)
  • Examples: 5-8 most common use cases, ordered by frequency of use
  • Placeholders: Use {{placeholder}} syntax for user-provided values

Examples

Reference Examples

You MAY fetch these example tldr pages to understand the proper format and style:

Expected Output Using Example

User

bash
/create-tldr-page #fetch https://git-scm.com/docs/git git

Agent

markdown
# git

> Distributed version control system.
> Some subcommands such as `commit`, `add`, `branch`, `switch`, `push`, etc. have their own usage documentation.
> More information: <https://git-scm.com/docs/git>.

- Create an empty Git repository:

`git init`

- Clone a remote Git repository from the internet:

`git clone {{https://example.com/repo.git}}`

- View the status of the local repository:

`git status`

- Stage all changes for a commit:

`git add {{[-A|--all]}}`

- Commit changes to version history:

`git commit {{[-m|--message]}} {{message_text}}`

- Push local commits to a remote repository:

`git push`

- Pull any changes made to a remote:

`git pull`

- Reset everything the way it was in the latest commit:

`git reset --hard; git clean {{[-f|--force]}}`
Output Formatting Rules

You MUST follow these placeholder conventions:

  • Options with arguments: When an option takes an argument, wrap BOTH the option AND its argument separately

    • Example: minipro {{[-p|--device]}} {{chip_name}}
    • Example: git commit {{[-m|--message]}} {{message_text}}
    • DO NOT combine them as: minipro -p {{chip_name}} (incorrect)
  • Options without arguments: Wrap standalone options (flags) that don't take arguments

    • Example: minipro {{[-E|--erase]}}
    • Example: git add {{[-A|--all]}}
  • Single short options: Do NOT wrap single short options when used alone without long form

    • Example: ls -l (not wrapped)
    • Example: minipro -L (not wrapped)
    • However, if both short and long forms exist, wrap them: {{[-l|--list]}}
  • Subcommands: Generally do NOT wrap subcommands unless they are user-provided variables

    • Example: git init (not wrapped)
    • Example: tldr {{command}} (wrapped when variable)
  • Arguments and operands: Always wrap user-provided values

    • Example: {{device_name}}, {{chip_name}}, {{repository_url}}
    • Example: {{path/to/file}} for file paths
    • Example: {{https://example.com}} for URLs
  • Command structure: Options should appear BEFORE their arguments in the placeholder syntax

    • Correct: command {{[-o|--option]}} {{value}}
    • Incorrect: command -o {{value}}
