File contents

TLDR Smart Router

Maps questions to the optimal tldr command. Use this to pick the right layer.

Question → Command Mapping

"What files/functions exist?"

tldr tree . --ext .py          # File overview
tldr structure src/ --lang python  # Function/class overview

Use: Starting exploration, orientation

"What does X call / who calls X?"

tldr context <function> --project . --depth 2
tldr calls src/

Use: Understanding architecture, finding entry points

"How complex is X?"

tldr cfg <file> <function>

Use: Identifying refactoring candidates, understanding difficulty

"Where does variable Y come from?"

tldr dfg <file> <function>

Use: Debugging, understanding data flow

"What affects line Z?"

tldr slice <file> <function> <line>

Use: Impact analysis, safe refactoring

"Search for pattern P"

tldr search "pattern" src/

Use: Finding code, structural search

Intent Detection Keywords

Intent	Keywords	Layer
Navigation	"what", "where", "find", "exists"	tree, structure, search
Architecture	"calls", "uses", "connects", "depends"	context, calls
Complexity	"complex", "refactor", "branches", "paths"	cfg
Data Flow	"variable", "value", "assigned", "comes from"	dfg
Impact	"affects", "changes", "slice", "dependencies"	slice/pdg
Debug	"bug", "error", "investigate", "broken"	cfg + dfg + context

Automatic Hook Integration

The tldr-read-enforcer and tldr-context-inject hooks automatically:

Detect intent from your messages
Route to appropriate layers
Inject context into tool calls

You don't need to manually run these commands - the hooks do it for you.

Manual Override

If you need a specific layer the hooks didn't provide:

# Force specific analysis
tldr cfg path/to/file.py function_name
tldr dfg path/to/file.py function_name
tldr slice path/to/file.py function_name 42
