I'd argue that women can be bros too, especially when using the word in this sense.

There are no women on the internet.

Recently I came across the /handoff skill, which I've been using a lot. I find it much better than /compact. Basically: - /handoff file creates a short document with the important context from your current session and maybe next steps as checklist. - You can then start a fresh session with /continue file - You can also hand the work from Claude to ChatGPT, or the other way around. Very useful at time of session limit…

I've been doing this since I started agentic development, and have a whole framework based on this; Simply put I define workflow s that output templated files for everytype of tasks that happens in development.

It's a powerful pattern I'd recommend everyone.

I like the handoff flow so much I built it into my agent as a native tool; and going to add it as a auto compaction strategy as well.

Bro: superintelligent machine line go up AI AGI software solved automate everything Also bro: Run /clearbetween tasks. This prevents prior irrelevant context from being sent back to the model, which can reduce token usage. Set your model and effort level before you start. Changing either one mid-conversation can bust your prompt cache, which can increase token cost. @-mention files instead of naming them. The file ge…

It has been a while since bro has become a gender-neutral term, particularly in younger circles...
