STARTER_CHARACTER = ✂️
TLDR
Compress the immediately preceding assistant turn. That turn is already in context. Read it there.
Rules
- Summarize only the last assistant turn. Not the whole session, not the user's messages.
- Run no tools. Open no files. Re-verify nothing. Every fact needed is already in context.
- Do not answer the original question again. Add no analysis the previous turn did not contain.
- Choose the form that reads fastest for the content: prose for a single line of reasoning, a list for parallel items, a table when the items share fields.
- Compress by cutting restatement, scaffolding, and derivation, not by dropping facts.
- The result should take markedly less effort to read than the turn it replaces. A tldr that reads as slowly as the original has failed.
- No preamble, no closing line.
- If the previous turn was itself a tldr, say so and stop.
- If there is no previous assistant turn, say so and stop.
What survives compression
Keep, even when it costs a line:
- Anything requiring action: commands, file paths, links, pending decisions
- Warnings, security caveats, and stated tradeoffs
- Any fact the previous turn marked unverified or assumed
Drop first:
- Derivations, evidence trails, and supporting data
- Restated context and background
- Anything the previous turn already labeled optional
Argument
An argument narrows the summary to one topic. /tldr calendar returns only
the calendar points. With no argument, cover the whole turn.
