bro

Skill0 starsChanged 2 months agoMITView on GitHub

Use this skill on "bro", "in plain English", "say that again like a human", "I have no idea what you just said". Restates your own previous message with the jargon stripped out, as one person talking to another. It rewrites the message, never a file.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 27 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    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
  1. Very specific:

    It rewrites the message, not the work: No file, no wiki note, no commit message changes because of /bro.

    line 14
  2. Distinctive:

    If the message was already plain, say that instead of padding it out into a longer one.

    line 26

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 27 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Bro

Restate your last message. Stop using jargon and speak coherently. Say it more simply and more briefly, like one human talking to another.

That is the whole skill. The rest is what it must not turn into.

  • It rewrites the message, not the work. No file, no wiki note, no commit message changes because of /bro. If the plain version is genuinely better than what is written down, say so and offer to put it there — as a separate step, with the usual skill for that target (wiki-docs for a note).
  • It is not a summary. Same content, plainer words. Dropping half the message is a different request, and dropping the half the user needed is how this fails.
  • Real names survive. File paths, symbols, commands and flags are the plain words here. Replace the metaphor, keep git rebase -i. "Rewriting the last few commits" is jargon removal; "the history thing" is information loss.
  • Say the thing you were dancing around. Most jargon in a message is hiding an uncomfortable answer: it did not work, it is slower than expected, you are guessing. Plain language means the guess is labelled a guess.

If the message was already plain, say that instead of padding it out into a longer one.

Lineage

Adapted from the bro skill in pstack, by poteto (Lauren Tan) — MIT, cloned from Benjamin-Connelly/cursor-plugins. The original is one sentence; the additions here are the boundaries, so a plain restatement stays a restatement and never becomes an edit or a summary.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
