three-lines
Skill2 starsChanged 6 months agoMITView on GitHub
Compress any content into at most three dense lines chosen for the reader, by predicting the three questions the reader would ask first and answering one per line. Use when the user asks for a 3-line summary, "3줄 요약", "세 줄로", "tldr", or a short summary to share with a teammate, channel, PR, or issue — e.g. after fixing a bug. Not for general "summarize this" requests where a longer summary may be wanted.

The file
Show its rules and text
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
14 rules. About 0 are common, 13 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈13
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 15
If the user passed text, a file path, or a URL, summarize that.
- Distinctive: line 17
Do not collect extra sources (git diff, logs) on your own.
- Distinctive: line 18
Infer the reader: Use what the user said ("팀원에게", "for the PM") and the nature of the content.
- Distinctive: line 19
Predict the reader's first three questions: Ask: "Having received this summary, what would this reader want to know first?" Rank the …
- Distinctive: line 25
Handle missing answers: Never state a fact the source does not contain.
- Very specific: line 26
If an important question has no answer, say so explicitly — the gap is itself information: 원인 미확인 — 재현 조건(동시 요청 2건 이상)만 파악됨.
- Distinctive: line 27
If a minor question has no answer, replace it with the next-ranked question.
- Distinctive: line 28
If the source holds fewer than three worthwhile facts, write only one or two lines.
- Distinctive: line 33
One line answers one question: Do not answer two questions in one line.
- Distinctive: line 35
Concrete values first: keep numbers, file and function names, error names, and dates.
- Distinctive: line 36
Results, not process: delete narration like "조사해보니", "확인 결과", "after investigating".
- Distinctive: line 39
If the user asks for a different style or language ("존댓말로", "in English"), apply it for that call only.
- Distinctive: line 40
Three lines is a hard maximum: Do not accept requests for more lines.
- Distinctive: line 54
If the user corrects the pick ("독자는 PM", "대상은 로그인 버그") or asks for another angle ("다른 관점으로"), redo the summary accordingly.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Three Lines
Goal
Produce the three lines a specific reader most needs, not a shrunken copy of the source. What goes into the lines changes with the situation: a bug fix shared with a teammate needs different lines than meeting notes sent to someone who missed the meeting.
Workflow
- Pick the target.
- If the user passed text, a file path, or a URL, summarize that. Read files and URLs first.
- Otherwise, summarize the most recently completed unit of work in the current conversation.
- Do not collect extra sources (git diff, logs) on your own. Anything the work touched is usually already in the conversation.
- Infer the reader. Use what the user said ("팀원에게", "for the PM") and the nature of the content. Default to a teammate who lacks the conversation's context.
- Predict the reader's first three questions. Ask: "Having received this summary, what would this reader want to know first?" Rank the questions by how much it hurts the reader not to know the answer. Examples:
- Bug fix → teammate: What broke? / How was it fixed? / Does it affect me?
- Meeting notes → absentee: What was decided? / Why? / What do I have to do?
- Article → the user: Core claim? / Evidence? / Why it matters to me? These are illustrations, not a lookup table. Derive the questions from the actual reader and content every time.
- Answer one question per line, following the rules below.
- Handle missing answers. Never state a fact the source does not contain.
- If an important question has no answer, say so explicitly — the gap is itself information:
원인 미확인 — 재현 조건(동시 요청 2건 이상)만 파악됨. - If a minor question has no answer, replace it with the next-ranked question.
- If the source holds fewer than three worthwhile facts, write only one or two lines. Never pad.
- If an important question has no answer, say so explicitly — the gap is itself information:
- Output in the format below.
Line Rules
- One line answers one question. Do not answer two questions in one line.
- About 80 characters per line (soft cap), so it reads without wrapping in Slack or a PR comment. If a line runs over, compress again before accepting it.
- Concrete values first: keep numbers, file and function names, error names, and dates. Drop vague words like "여러", "일부", "개선", "various", "improved".
- Results, not process: delete narration like "조사해보니", "확인 결과", "after investigating".
- Joining clauses:
—or→may connect two facts that answer the same question. - Style: terse report style by default. In Korean, end with noun-form endings (
~함,~됨,~음). In English, drop the subject and start with a past-tense verb (Fixed ...). Write in the language of the conversation. - If the user asks for a different style or language ("존댓말로", "in English"), apply it for that call only.
- Three lines is a hard maximum. Do not accept requests for more lines; that is a different task than a three-line summary.
Output Format
Output only the lines, as a Markdown unordered list with one item per line:
- 결제 API가 동시 요청 시 중복 청구됨 — 멱등키 검증이 트랜잭션 밖에 있었음.
- 검증을 트랜잭션 안으로 옮기고 멱등키에 unique 제약 추가해 해결.
- 기존 중복 건 12건 환불 처리 완료, 클라이언트 쪽 변경 없음.- Render the list directly; do not wrap it in a code block.
- Output nothing else: no preamble, no divider, no notes on the chosen reader or questions, no alternative versions.
- If the user corrects the pick ("독자는 PM", "대상은 로그인 버그") or asks for another angle ("다른 관점으로"), redo the summary accordingly.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
