tldrpr

Generate a plain-text TLDR summary of one or more Pull Requests for pasting into Slack. No markdown formatting — just plain text. Result is copied to clipboard.

Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS for:

• One or more PR references in any of these formats:
  • Full URL: https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123
  • Short ref: owner/repo#123
• --lang <language> — language for the TLDR line (e.g. en, ru, de). If omitted, use the same language the user communicates in during this conversation.

If no PR references provided, look in the conversation context for recently mentioned PR URLs or refs.

For each PR

1. Fetch PR details:

   gh pr view <NUMBER> --repo <OWNER>/<REPO> --json title,body --jq '{title, body: .body[:2000]}'
   

2. Generate TLDR in this exact format (plain text, no markdown):

   https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123 -- PR title as-is
   TLDR: one sentence explaining WHY this PR exists (motivation, not technical details). Written in the resolved language.
   

   Guidelines for TLDR line:

   • Focus on WHY (motivation), not WHAT (implementation details)
   • One sentence, concise
   • No markdown, no formatting, no emoji
   • Do not repeat the PR title — add context beyond it

Output

• If multiple PRs: separate each block with an empty line
• After generating all TLDRs, copy the complete text to clipboard:
  • macOS: pipe to pbcopy
  • Linux: pipe to xclip -selection clipboard or xsel --clipboard --input
  • If no clipboard tool available: print the text and note that clipboard copy failed
• Confirm to user: "Done, copied to clipboard"
