tldr - Concise Command Cheat Sheets
The tldr module provides simplified, community-driven documentation for thousands of CLI tools. Instead of exhaustive manuals, it focuses on the most common use cases and practical examples.
When to Activate
- When the user wants a quick summary of how to use a specific command.
- When seeking practical examples for command sub-tasks (e.g.,
git checkout). - When browsing for command references interactively using
fzf.
Core Principles & Rules
- Conciseness: Emphasize that this is for "quick lookups," not detailed study.
- Language Support: Use
--langto retrieve documentation in preferred languages (e.g.,zh). - Interactive Browsing: Support for the
tlfzshortcut for fast command discovery.
