Use when starting any coding task: fix bugs, debug, implement features, refactor, write tests, review code, migrate, port, or explore a codebase. Also use when resuming a previous session, onboarding to a repo, or before reading code files in a new conversation. Provides diff-focused context that saves 48-73% tokens.
From tldr-swintonnpx claudepluginhub mistakeknot/interagency-marketplace --plugin tldr-swintonThis skill is limited to using the following tools:
Dispatches parallel agents to independently tackle 2+ tasks like separate test failures or subsystems without shared state or dependencies.
Executes pre-written implementation plans: critically reviews, follows bite-sized steps exactly, runs verifications, tracks progress with checkpoints, uses git worktrees, stops on blockers.
Guides idea refinement into designs: explores context, asks questions one-by-one, proposes approaches, presents sections for approval, writes/review specs before coding.
BEFORE reading any code files, determine your starting point.
Check: git status or git diff --stat HEAD
YES — changes exist:
tldrs diff-context --project . --preset compact
YES + large diff (>500 lines changed):
tldrs diff-context --project . --preset minimal
NO — clean working tree:
tldrs structure src/
If you expect multiple rounds of queries on the same codebase:
# Add --session-id auto to ALL tldrs calls this session
tldrs diff-context --project . --preset compact --session-id auto
[contains_diff] symbols → tldrs context <symbol> --project . --preset compact[caller_of_diff] symbols → check for breakage with tldrs impact <symbol> --depth 3tldrs find "query" before Reading filesCompress context for sub-agent consumption:
tldrs distill --task "description of the subtask" --budget 1500 --session-id auto
After reviewing diff context, check which tests are affected:
tldrs change-impact --git
Returns affected_tests and a suggested test_command. Run only affected tests.
--preset compact unless you have a reason not to--preset minimal for large diffs (>500 lines) or budget-constrained sessionsAdd --lang flag: tldrs diff-context --project . --preset compact --lang typescript
