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.
Patterns & Examples
Quick Reference
# View common usage examples for the 'tar' command
x tldr tar
Subcommand Example
# Get specific help for git checkout
x tldr git checkout
Interactive Discovery
# Search for commands interactively using FZF
x tldr --fz
Checklist
- Confirm the command name the user is inquiring about.
- Verify if a specific language version is preferred.
Recommended Agent Skills

pufferlib
High-performance reinforcement learning framework optimized for speed and scale. Use when you need fast parallel training, vectorized environments, multi-agent systems, or integration with game environments (Atari, Procgen, NetHack). Achieves 2-10x speedups over standard implementations. For quick prototyping or standard algorithm implementations with extensive documentation, use stable-baselines3 instead.
fluidsim
Framework for computational fluid dynamics simulations using Python. Use when running fluid dynamics simulations including Navier-Stokes equations (2D/3D), shallow water equations, stratified flows, or when analyzing turbulence, vortex dynamics, or geophysical flows. Provides pseudospectral methods with FFT, HPC support, and comprehensive output analysis.
metabolomics-workbench-database
Access NIH Metabolomics Workbench via REST API (4,200+ studies). Query metabolites, RefMet nomenclature, MS/NMR data, m/z searches, study metadata, for metabolomics and biomarker discovery.
geniml
This skill should be used when working with genomic interval data (BED files) for machine learning tasks. Use for training region embeddings (Region2Vec, BEDspace), single-cell ATAC-seq analysis (scEmbed), building consensus peaks (universes), or any ML-based analysis of genomic regions. Applies to BED file collections, scATAC-seq data, chromatin accessibility datasets, and region-based genomic feature learning.
zinc-database
Access ZINC (230M+ purchasable compounds). Search by ZINC ID/SMILES, similarity searches, 3D-ready structures for docking, analog discovery, for virtual screening and drug discovery.
astropy
Comprehensive Python library for astronomy and astrophysics. This skill should be used when working with astronomical data including celestial coordinates, physical units, FITS files, cosmological calculations, time systems, tables, world coordinate systems (WCS), and astronomical data analysis. Use when tasks involve coordinate transformations, unit conversions, FITS file manipulation, cosmological distance calculations, time scale conversions, or astronomical data processing.
