At a glance

Rewrite the previous explanation for clarity. An agent skill from synnaxlabs/synnax.

  • The user invokes /restate
  • SKILL.md covers The goal, Rules, Less and more and Check before sending
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Says an answer was confusing

What it does

Restate is an agent skill from synnaxlabs/synnax. Rewrite the previous explanation for clarity. Use when the user invokes /restate, says an answer was confusing, jargon-filled, or too long, or asks "what are you actually saying". Replaces the prior explanation with a short, plain-language restatement focused on understanding, not completeness.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Plain language and style rules. The repository describes itself as: The data and operations foundation for hardware.

When your agent uses it

  • The user invokes /restate
  • Says an answer was confusing
  • Asks what are you actually saying

Example prompts

  • “what are you actually saying”
  • “/restate”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a83afc9. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Restate loads about 542 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 300 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~542

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 300 words (~542 tokens).

“Your previous explanation failed. It was too long, too full of jargon, and too complex for the reader to understand. You preferred to vomit as many words as possible instead of preferring clarity, simplicity, and intent.”
