Quick plain-language brief — skip the explanation, get the point. Use when the user says "tldr", "quick version", "what is X", "should I use X", "just tell me", "give me the short version", or is clearly in a hurry. Output adapts to the question: - Pure definition ("what is X") → 1 sentence + 1-2 key facts - Decision / comparison ("should I use X", "X vs Y") → 1 sentence + use when / skip when / bottom line Max 5 lines. No diagrams. No analogies. No history. Direct verdict.

# TL;DR Goal: user reads this in 10 seconds and knows what to do. ## Rules - Respond in the same language the user wrote in. If they write in Chinese, reply in Chinese. Technical terms (JWT, Redis, API…) stay in English. - Max 5 lines. Hard limit. - No diagrams, no analogies, no history. - Every word earns its place. ## Detect the intent, pick the format **If the question is a definition** ("what is X", "explain X briefly"): ``` **$ARGUMENTS** [One sentence. What it does in plain language.] - [Key fact #1] - [Key fact #2] ``` **If the question involves a decision** ("should I use X", "X vs Y", "is X worth it"): ``` **$ARGUMENTS** [One sentence. What it does in plain language.] - Use it when: [one condition, ≤8 words] - Skip it when: [one condition, ≤8 words] - Bottom line: [direct recommendation or verdict] ``` If `$ARGUMENTS` is empty, ask: "Quick brief on what?"
