What problem does it solve?

This Skill converts verbose GitHub Copilot customization files, MCP server documentation, or documentation URLs into concise, example-driven tldr summaries that are immediately usable in chat sessions.

  • Context-aware output: Adapts verbosity and example counts for inline chat versus full chat view and handles up to five sources per request with error guidance for missing inputs.
  • Use Case: Rapidly produce short reference pages from a Copilot prompt file so engineers and writers can copy invocation examples into conversations or docs.
