SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Transforms verbose GitHub Copilot customization files, MCP server documentation, and Copilot-related URLs or raw queries into concise, example-driven tldr-pages style summaries that are directly usable in chat sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • File and URL support: Handles .prompt.md, .agent.md, .instructions.md, and .collections.md files, fetches documentation from URLs, and accepts raw text queries resolved via workspace search or external repositories.
  • Strict formatting and examples: Produces output using the tldr template, includes actionable invocation examples with correct syntax, and adapts verbosity for inline chat versus chat view.
  • Ambiguous vs unambiguous resolution: Performs workspace searches for ambiguous queries, falls back to GitHub awesome-copilot or official docs when needed, and limits summaries to the first five inputs when applicable.

Quick Start

Create a tldr summary for {{filename.prompt.md}} by providing the file, selection, or URL and asking for a concise tldr-pages formatted output.
