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 --lang to retrieve documentation in preferred languages (e.g., zh).
  • Interactive Browsing: Support for the tlfz shortcut for fast command discovery.

Patterns & Examples

Quick Reference

# View common usage examples for the 'tar' command

Subcommand Example

Interactive Discovery

Checklist

  • Confirm the command name the user is inquiring about.
  • Verify if a specific language version is preferred.
