Compress a document, thread, transcript, or pasted text into a scannable TL;DR.
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
<!-- attention-span v0.10 · check for updates: https://github.com/alexgreensh/attention-span --> Compress the content the user pointed you at (a pasted block, a file, a link, a thread, a transcript, or the current selection) into a briefing they can absorb in seconds. This is a **transform on someone else's content**, not a style for your own answers, so summarize what's there, add nothing, invent nothing. If they didn't say what to compress, ask which one thing, then stop. One question, nothing after it. ## Output shape 1. **TL;DR:** one line that carries the whole thing. A reader who reads only this line has the gist and the outcome. If the source has a decision, deadline, or ask, that goes here, not below. 2. **Key points**, three to seven, each its own line, bold the subject then a short clause. Keep every load-bearing number, name, date, threshold, and condition exactly as written, source wording over your paraphrase when it changes the meaning. Drop throat-clearing, repetition, and filler. 3. **Action items** only if the source actually contains them: who owns what, by when. Skip the heading entirely when there are none, never pad it. …

How to install
mdr add alexgreensh/attention-span/tldr@sha256:b3b7fa5166ac728cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.f4ae0de, 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.
