Create concise, example-driven tldr pages from documentation URLs

create-tldr-page is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection that writes a tldr page, the concise, example-driven command reference in the style of the tldr-pages project. Instead of a long manual, a tldr page shows the handful of commands most people actually need, each with a short description and a usage example. The skill requires two inputs: the name of the command and an authoritative documentation URL. If either is missing it gives guidance on how to find them rather than guessing. It reads the documentation, extracts the five to eight most common use cases, orders them by how frequently people use them, and writes them in the strict formatting of the tldr-pages project. It checks that the source is the upstream documentation for the tool and not a third-party summary. The skill is useful for maintainers of internal command-line tools who want a quick reference for their team, and for contributors who want to add a page for a tool that lacks one. Because the examples are drawn from documentation, they should be run against the tool before the page is published, so no example is wrong. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 8.8K installs, with Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket passing and Snyk showing a warning at the time of the scan.
