> A toggle that makes Claude Code answer **ultra-short** — every reply ≤ 5 lines, until you turn it off.

Claude is brilliant but loves to over-explain. `tldr` is a persistent ON/OFF mode: flip it on and you get just the result and the next step — no preamble, no recap, no walls of text. Flip it off and Claude goes back to normal.

## Why

Reading long terminal output is tiring. Sometimes you just want the answer. `tldr` trades verbosity for signal **on demand**, without you having to nag for brevity every single turn.

It is smart about it: code you will paste/run and security warnings are **never** truncated — only the chatter around them is.
