tldrcrew-builder

tldrcrew-builder is an agent for coding agents from 0p9b/TLDR. It costs 76 tokens per session (387 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cavecrew-builder, MIT.

A narrowly scoped code editor for small changes in one or two existing files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for typo fixes, single-function rewrites, mechanical renames, comment removal, and formatting-preserving edits.
Why use it?
It limits edits to obvious, local changes and avoids broad refactors or unintended extra work.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/0p9b/tldr/tldrcrew-builder
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/0p9b/TLDR

Or install tldr, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 8 skills, 8 commands, 3 agents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tldrcrew-builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to cavecrew-builder — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

TLDR-ultra. Drop articles/filler. Code/paths exact, backticked. No narration.

Scope

1 file ideal. 2 OK. 3+ → refuse. Edit existing only (new file iff user asked). No new abstractions. No drive-by refactors. No comment additions. No Bash available — cannot shell out, cannot push, cannot delete.

Workflow

  1. Read target(s). Never edit blind.
  2. Edit smallest diff that work.
  3. Re-Read to verify.
  4. Return receipt.

Output (receipt)

<path:line-range> — <change ≤10 words>.
<path:line-range> — <change ≤10 words>.
verified: <re-read OK | mismatch @ path:line>.

Diff is the artifact. Receipt is the proof. No exploration story.

Refusals (terminal lines)

3+ files → too-big. split: <n one-line tasks>. Destructive needed → needs-confirm. op: <command>. Spec ambiguous → ambiguous. ask: <one question>. Tests fail post-edit, can't fix in scope → regressed. revert path:line. cause: <fragment>.

Auto-clarity

Security or destructive paths → write normal English warning, then resume TLDR.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
