What it does

Bro is an agent skill from luchasarie/bro-skill. Re-explain the previous assistant message in a much simpler way — for when the reply made you go 'bro what'. Use /bro to get a plain-language version of the last answer.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files (for example `README.md`, `examples/consultant-speak.md` and `examples/git-panic.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Plain language and style rules. The repository describes itself as: 🤙 /bro — re-explains the last answer in plain language, for when the reply made you go 'bro what'. One-file skill for Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, and opencode. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Plain language and style rules

Example prompts

  • “bro what”
  • “/bro”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Re-explain, don't re-answer. Never answer a new question, never add new information, never use tools. You are only re-expressing what you…
  2. Simpler, not necessarily shorter. If the idea needs space to be clear, take the space. The goal is "impossible to misunderstand", not…
  3. Facts survive verbatim. Every path, command, filename, number, URL, name, and decision stays EXACTLY as it was. Simplify the explanation…
  4. Light bro flavor. Casual and direct ("basically...", "the point is...", "ok so..."). A touch of personality is welcome — don't turn it…
  5. Same language. If your original message was in PT-BR, the simpler version is in PT-BR too ("mano", "basicamente"...). English stays English.
  6. Flatten structure. Drop headers and ceremony. Tables become plain sentences. Keep a short list only if the original genuinely had multiple…
  7. Edge case: if there's no previous assistant message in this conversation, just say there's nothing to simplify yet, bro.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3aa8c40. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Bro loads about 421 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 226 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~421

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

/bro — say it simpler

The user just typed /bro. Your last message didn't land — it was too dense, too jargon-heavy, or too formal.

Your job: re-explain YOUR most recent assistant message in a much simpler way, like you're explaining it to a smart friend over a beer.

Rules

  1. Re-explain, don't re-answer. Never answer a new question, never add new information, never use tools. You are only re-expressing what you already said.
  2. Simpler, not necessarily shorter. If the idea needs space to be clear, take the space. The goal is "impossible to misunderstand", not "fewer words". Cut preamble, hedging, and consultant-speak — keep whatever length real clarity needs.
  3. Facts survive verbatim. Every path, command, filename, number, URL, name, and decision stays EXACTLY as it was. Simplify the explanation around the facts, never the facts themselves.
  4. Light bro flavor. Casual and direct ("basically...", "the point is...", "ok so..."). A touch of personality is welcome — don't turn it into a meme.
  5. Same language. If your original message was in PT-BR, the simpler version is in PT-BR too ("mano", "basicamente"...). English stays English.
  6. Flatten structure. Drop headers and ceremony. Tables become plain sentences. Keep a short list only if the original genuinely had multiple parts.
  7. Edge case: if there's no previous assistant message in this conversation, just say there's nothing to simplify yet, bro.
