Security

Grade A, and why

tldr 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

{
  "name": "tldr",
  "description": "Always-on response shaping. A SessionStart hook loads a 10-rule ruleset into every new session \u2014 first line is the action, numbered multi-step work, restate where we are each turn, one concrete next action, concrete time estimates, visible wins, flat tone on failure, lists capped at 5, no preamble/recap/sign-off \u2014 plus six break-glass exceptions (depth requested, destructive action, debug spiral, real ambiguity, rule-would-delete-the-answer, harness outranks) and a pre-send delete pass. A UserPromptSubmit hook re-reads the state file every turn, so /tldr:off suspends the loaded ruleset immediately mid-session instead of next session. /tldr:verbose exempts a single turn and auto-reverts. A Stop hook measures the response that is about to be delivered and blocks it when it busts the budget \u2014 300 prose words, 3 headings, or a list past 5 \u2014 which is what makes the ruleset enforcement rather than advice; code, tables and quotes are excluded, a depth request suspends it, and it never blocks the same turn twice. /tldr:off, /tldr:on, /tldr:gate-off, /tldr:gate-on, /tldr:status, /tldr:help.",

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 3 commands travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 41 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

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.
