SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Verbose GitHub Copilot customization files and MCP server documentation are hard to scan quickly, making it difficult to understand how to invoke and use them without reading every line. ## Core Features & Use Cases - tldr Summary Generation: Converts prompt, agent, instruction, and collection files into concise tldr-pages-style references with concrete usage examples. - URL and Query Resolution: Fetches documentation from URLs or resolves ambiguous queries against the workspace, awesome-copilot repository, and official Copilot docs. - Batch Processing: Handles up to 5 files or URLs at once, producing a summary for each with correct invocation syntax. - Use Case: A developer finds a community .prompt.md file and wants to know what it does and how to call it; the skill outputs a short tldr page with 5-8 example invocations directly in chat. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to create a tldr summary for a specific Copilot prompt file or documentation URL you provide.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a tldr summary for a Copilot prompt file?

Invoke the skill with the file reference, such as /tldr-prompt #file:name.prompt.md. The skill reads the file and outputs a tldr-formatted summary with usage examples directly in chat.

What file types does the tldr prompt skill support?

It supports GitHub Copilot customization files: .prompt.md, .agent.md, .instructions.md, and .collections.md. It also handles MCP server documentation and general Copilot documentation fetched from URLs.

Can I summarize multiple Copilot files at once?

Yes, you can pass up to 5 files or URLs and the skill creates a tldr summary for each. If more than 5 are provided, it summarizes the first 5 and lists the remaining ones.

What happens if I run tldr-prompt without any input?

The skill returns an error message explaining that you must provide a file, a URL, or a search query. It lists the accepted input formats so you can retry with valid input.

Does the tldr skill create a new file with the summary?

No, the skill explicitly outputs the tldr summary directly in the chat session. It does not create a new tldr page file, and it adapts verbosity based on inline chat versus chat view context.
