At a glance

Maps questions to the optimal tldr command. An agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3.

  • Works in 3 steps: Detect intent from your messages → Route to appropriate layers → Inject context into tool calls
  • Tasks that involve Summarization
  • SKILL.md covers Question → Command Mapping, Decision Tree, Intent Detection Keywords and Automatic Hook Integration, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Tldr Router is an agent skill from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. Maps questions to the optimal tldr command. Use this to pick the right layer

Its SKILL.md is about 610 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: Context management for Claude Code. Hooks maintain state via ledgers and handoffs. MCP execution without context pollution. Agent orchestration with isolated context windows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Summarization

Example prompts

  • “/tldr-router”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Detect intent from your messages
  2. Route to appropriate layers
  3. Inject context into tool calls

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d07ff4b. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Tldr Router loads about 607 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 182 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~607

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.

TLDR Smart Router

Maps questions to the optimal tldr command. Use this to pick the right layer.

Question → Command Mapping

"What files/functions exist?"
bash
tldr tree . --ext .py          # File overview
tldr structure src/ --lang python  # Function/class overview

Use: Starting exploration, orientation

"What does X call / who calls X?"
bash
tldr context <function> --project . --depth 2
tldr calls src/

Use: Understanding architecture, finding entry points

"How complex is X?"
bash
tldr cfg <file> <function>

Use: Identifying refactoring candidates, understanding difficulty

"Where does variable Y come from?"
bash
tldr dfg <file> <function>

Use: Debugging, understanding data flow

"What affects line Z?"
bash
tldr slice <file> <function> <line>

Use: Impact analysis, safe refactoring

"Search for pattern P"
bash
tldr search "pattern" src/

Use: Finding code, structural search

Automatic Hook Integration

The tldr-read-enforcer and tldr-context-inject hooks automatically:

  1. Detect intent from your messages
  2. Route to appropriate layers
  3. Inject context into tool calls

You don't need to manually run these commands - the hooks do it for you.

Manual Override

If you need a specific layer the hooks didn't provide:

bash
# Force specific analysis
tldr cfg path/to/file.py function_name
tldr dfg path/to/file.py function_name
tldr slice path/to/file.py function_name 42
