Compressing something too long to read into the few facts needed to decide or act, read instead of the source — the last message and the work behind it, or a named file, PR, document, or thread.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# TL;DR Something got too long to read. The user calls this instead of reading it, so hand back the **cliffs**: the few facts that let them decide or act, and an honest line about what those facts leave out. ## What to summarize | Argument | Target | |---|---| | *(none)* | The last assistant message **and the work behind it** — the tool calls, files, and findings it was reporting on. | | A path | That file or directory. | | A PR, issue, branch, or diff | The change: what it does, what it breaks, what a reviewer must look at. | | A URL or attached document | That document. | | A topic in prose | The part of this session about that topic. | Read the target in full first. When the argument reads two ways — a word that is both a filename and a topic — resolve it from what the user has been doing and name the reading you picked in one clause. Answer rather than ask. ## The shape ```markdown **Bottom line.** [One sentence. What survives if they read nothing else.] - [Load-bearing fact] - [Load-bearing fact] - [3–5, ordered by what the decision turns on, not by source order] **Your move.** [The decision waiting on them, the next step, or "nothing — FYI".] ``` Source: …

How to install
mdr add fabiandistler/agents/tldr@sha256:152cc14f286ac5f7The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
