SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Technical answers often come out dense with jargon, hedging, and filler, forcing readers to decode the message before they can act on it. This Skill rewrites the assistant's own previous reply into plain, direct human language while preserving every load-bearing fact. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Jargon Removal: Replaces buzzwords and slop phrases with simple wording, keeping precise technical terms with a short gloss when no plain equivalent exists. - Warning Preservation: Keeps risks, caveats, numbers, thresholds, and scoped conditions intact while cutting examples, background, and alternatives. - Structural Compression: Shortens paragraphs to one idea each, trims list items to one line, and leaves code, commands, filenames, and paths untouched. - Use Case: After receiving a long explanation of a database migration, invoke this Skill to get a short version that still states the 30-second table lock and when to run it. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to rewrite its last reply in plain language using the bro skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about arbe-bro

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make an AI answer simpler without losing important details?▼

Invoke this Skill after receiving a dense reply and it rewrites that same answer in plain language. It cuts examples and background but always keeps warnings, numbers, thresholds, and conditions the reader needs to act correctly.

How to rewrite technical text in plain language?▼

The Skill leads with the main point, uses one idea per sentence, and replaces jargon with everyday words. Terms with no plain replacement stay, glossed in five words or fewer, and code or commands are left untouched.

Does simplifying a reply remove warnings or caveats?▼

No. The Skill explicitly preserves risks, caveats, and scoped conditions even when keeping them costs a line. Only elaboration such as examples, background, and alternatives is cut.

Can this Skill rewrite text other than the assistant's last reply?▼

No. It is scoped to rewriting the reply the assistant just wrote, not user-provided documents or arbitrary text. It also adds nothing new and never produces a longer result than the original.

What writing style does the plain-language rewrite follow?▼

It leans on ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English principles: one idea per sentence, active voice, and consistent wording. The rules are applied loosely so the result still reads like natural conversation rather than a maintenance manual.
