Get a token-efficient overview of any project using the TLDR stack
# TLDR Project Overview Get a token-efficient overview of any project using the TLDR stack. ## Trigger - `/overview` or `/tldr-overview` - "give me an overview of this project" - "what's in this codebase" - Starting work on an unfamiliar project ## Execution ### 1. File Tree (Navigation Map) ```bash tldr tree . --ext .py # or .ts, .go, .rs ``` ### 2. Code Structure (What Exists) ```bash tldr structure src/ --lang python --max 50 ``` Returns: functions, classes, imports per file ### 3. Call Graph Entry Points (Architecture) ```bash tldr calls src/ ``` Returns: cross-file relationships, main entry points ### 4. Key Function Complexity (Hot Spots) For each entry point found: ```bash tldr cfg src/main.py main # Get complexity ``` ## Output Format ``` ## Project Overview: {project_name} ### Structure {tree output - files and directories} ### Key Components {structure output - functions, classes per file} ### Architecture (Call Graph) {calls output - how components connect} ### Complexity Hot Spots {cfg output - functions with high cyclomatic complexity} --- Token cost: ~{N} tokens (vs ~{M} raw = {savings}% savings) ``` ## When NOT to Use - Already familiar with the project - Working on a specific file (use targeted tldr commands instead) - Test files (need full context) ## Programmatic Usage ```python from tldr.api import get_file_tree, get_code_structure, build_project_call_graph # 1. Tree tree = get_file_tree("src/", extensions={".py"}) # 2. Structure structure = get_code_structure("src/", language="python", max_results=50) # 3. Call graph calls = build_project_call_graph("src/", language="python") # 4. Complexity for hot functions for edge in calls.edges[:10]: cfg = get_cfg_context("src/" + edge[0], edge[1]) ```
