Create Tldr Page

Takes documentation URLs and command names to generate properly formatted tldr pages following the official tldr-pages project standards. Fetches upstream docs, extracts the most common usage patterns, and outputs clean markdown with correct placeholder syntax and example ordering. Handles the fiddly bits like wrapping options correctly, requiring authoritative source URLs, and maintaining the specific template structure that makes tldr pages actually useful. Good for contributing to tldr-pages or creating internal quick reference docs that don't suck. Saves you from manually parsing verbose man pages into something developers will actually read.
