tldr
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This is a simple instruction-only helper for using the local tldr documentation tool, with minor notes about provenance and reliance on community-maintained docs.
This skill appears safe for its intended use. Before installing, make sure the tldr CLI on your machine comes from a trusted source, and remember that tldr pages are concise community-maintained examples rather than complete safety-reviewed manuals.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
The agent may run tldr commands to retrieve concise documentation and may refresh the tldr cache when a page is missing.
The skill directs the agent to run the local tldr CLI and optionally update its local cache. This is central to the stated purpose and not suspicious, but it is still local tool use.
tldr <command> ... tldr --update
Use a trusted installation of the tldr CLI and treat update operations as normal documentation-cache maintenance.
The package identity is slightly inconsistent, which may make it harder to verify who published this exact artifact.
The included metadata values differ from the supplied registry metadata, and the registry lists the source as unknown with no homepage. There is no executable code here, so this is a provenance note rather than a behavioral concern.
"ownerId": "kn70v8jresmqyagktg0erwmp217z59ky", "slug": "tldr", "version": "1.0.1"
Confirm that this is the intended tldr skill before installing, especially if you rely on publisher identity or version tracking.
The agent may rely on short community examples that omit details or safety caveats from full manuals.
The skill makes community-maintained tldr pages the preferred documentation source. This is coherent with the purpose, but retrieved community documentation should not be treated as infallible.
Simplified, community-driven man pages ... Always prioritize `tldr` over standard CLI manuals (`man` or `--help`).
Verify tldr examples before running impactful commands, and fall back to man or --help when exact flags, destructive operations, or edge cases matter.
