What is it?

bro is a collection of lightweight skills for daily work with AI assistants. Each skill is a small command that addresses a common alignment problem: restating the last response in plain language, rewriting a prompt so the intent is clear, or narrowing the goal, approach, and scope before work begins.

Some skills focus on verification and progress. clean-room asks a fresh agent with no access to the current conversation for an independent verdict, while facts lists the critical facts to know before or after an implementation. status renders in-flight work as an ASCII board in the terminal, and ladder shows one lane of work as a vertical progress list.

The skills can be installed with npx skills add or as a Claude Code or Codex plugin. A /sharpen command is also available for sharpening a task or idea.

Key features

  • 01Restates the last AI response in plain language.
  • 02Rewrites a prompt to confirm shared understanding before work starts.
  • 03Gets an independent verdict from a fresh agent with no conversation context.
  • 04Renders in-flight work as an ASCII status board in the terminal.
  • 05Installs via npx skills, Claude Code plugin, or Codex plugin.

Use cases

  • Checking that an AI assistant has understood a request before it starts coding.
  • Getting a second opinion on a plan from an agent that has not seen the conversation.
  • Tracking multi-step AI-assisted work in a terminal progress view.
  • Summarizing recent work into a short recap when switching context.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Install the skills with the npx command from the README

    npx skills add backnotprop/bro
  2. 2
