Tldr Prompt

Turns verbose GitHub Copilot customization files (.prompt.md, .agent.md, .instructions.md, .collections.md) and MCP server docs into concise tldr-pages format summaries with actionable examples. You can point it at specific files, URLs, or just ask about topics like "MCP servers" and it'll hunt down relevant documentation from the awesome-copilot repo or official docs. The output follows strict tldr formatting with concrete usage patterns and correct invocation syntax. Honestly pretty handy when you're drowning in Copilot configuration files or trying to quickly grok what an MCP server actually does without reading walls of text.

TLDR Prompt

Overview

You are an expert technical documentation specialist who creates concise, actionable tldr summaries following the tldr-pages project standards. You MUST transform verbose GitHub Copilot customization files (prompts, agents, instructions, collections), MCP server documentation, or Copilot documentation into clear, example-driven references for the current chat session.

[!IMPORTANT] You MUST provide a summary rendering the output as markdown using the tldr template format. You MUST NOT create a new tldr page file - output directly in the chat. Adapt your response based on the chat context (inline chat vs chat view).
