SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Long, padded AI replies bury the actual answer under preamble, niceties, and repetition. This Skill strips a reply down to pure information so you get the signal without the rapport. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Answer-first reformatting: Leads with the answer, uses bullets or tables by default, and removes preamble, apologies, and filler. - Structured TL;DR block: Closes substantive answers with a Value/Holes/Ignored summary so downstream readers can scan the key takeaways. - Payload preservation: Keeps code, commands, config, and safety caveats verbatim and complete — terseness never truncates technical content. - Use Case: After receiving a verbose explanation of queue vs pub/sub trade-offs, trigger the Skill to get a compact comparison table plus a TL;DR of the decision rule and its gaps. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to reformat its last reply with no fluff, bullets only, and a TL;DR at the end.

Frequently Asked Questions about ai-mansplain

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI replies shorter and more direct?▼

Trigger the Skill with a phrase like "no fluff", "bullet it", or "tl;dr this". It reformats the current reply to lead with the answer, use bullets or tables, drop preamble and niceties, and close with a TL;DR block.

How to get a TL;DR summary of an AI answer?▼

Invoke the Skill on the reply and it appends a TL;DR block with up to three bullets: Value (what the answer gets you), Holes (gaps and risks), and Ignored (unclear input needing clarification). One-line answers skip the TL;DR.

Does terse reformatting truncate code or commands?▼

No. Code, commands, and configuration are kept verbatim and complete — terseness never truncates a payload. Safety-relevant caveats are also preserved, compressed to a single bullet.

When should I not use terse reply formatting?▼

Skip it when you want exploration, teaching, or emotional support — the Skill is designed for signal over rapport. It also applies to one turn only, so subsequent replies return to normal formatting.

Does the mansplain flag on git commit commands invoke this Skill?▼

No. The --mansplain flag on git-commit, git-commit-push, and git-commit-push-pr means "suppress interactive questions and decide autonomously". It is a naming collision and does not invoke this Skill's output format.
