name: llm-tldr description: Summarize and navigate this repo with the llm-tldr CLI (tree/structure/context/semantic search). Use when you need LLM-ready summaries of files or symbols, fast codebase orientation, or behavior-based search before editing.

llm-tldr

Run the tool

• Install the vendored tool when needed:

  Copypython3 -m venv .venv
  source .venv/bin/activate
  pip install -e tools/llm-tldr
  

• Build or refresh the index from the repo root:

  Copytldr warm .
  

• Generate LLM-ready summaries or semantic matches:

  Copytldr context <symbol> --project .
  tldr semantic "<behavior or intent>" .
  tldr tree <path>
  tldr structure <path> --lang <language>
  

Know where outputs go

• Read results from stdout; redirect to a file if you need to persist them.
• Expect indexes and config under .tldr/ in the repo root (e.g., .tldr/cache/semantic.faiss).
• Note that tldr warm . will create .tldrignore if it is missing.

Troubleshoot quickly

• Rebuild the index after large changes: tldr warm ..
• If semantic search fails, confirm the venv is active and the tool is installed from tools/llm-tldr.
