-Bro turns the latest completed assistant response into a clear, plain-language explanation.

-## Commands
+## Explain
 
-- \`/bro\` or \`/bro simplify\` — create a new explanation
-- \`/bro open\` — reopen the last explanation
-- \`/bro usage\` or \`/bro usage --provider agy\` — show current Agy usage
-- \`/bro model\` — choose the Agy model
-- \`/bro effort\` — choose the Agy reasoning effort
-- \`/bro help\` — show this guide
+- \`/bro\` — explain the latest completed assistant reply
+- \`/bro simplify [text]\` — explain pasted text, or the latest reply when text is omitted
+- \`/bro file <path>\` — explain a Markdown, text, PDF, or DOCX file
+- \`/bro url <url>\` — explain one public webpage
+- \`/bro open\` — reopen the latest explanation
 
-## Current simplifier settings
+Press **R** to simplify the captured source again. Run a new \`/bro simplify\`, \`/bro file\`, or \`/bro url\` command to capture a new source.
 
-- **Model:** \`${settings.model}\`
-- **Reasoning effort:** ${settings.effort === "default" ? "built into the selected model" : settings.effort}
+## Check and configure
 
-These choices are saved in:
+- \`/bro doctor\` — check settings, Agy, account, model, and effort
+- \`/bro usage [--provider agy]\` — show current Agy limits
+- \`/bro model [id]\` — view or choose the Agy model
+- \`/bro effort [low|medium|high]\` — view or choose reasoning effort
 
-\`${SETTINGS_FILE}\`
+## Current settings
 
-Use the slash commands or edit that file directly. Changes apply to future explanations and remain active across Pi restarts until you change them. Use a model ID shown by \`/bro model\`. Use an effort shown by \`/bro effort\`; fixed-effort models use \`default\`.
+${settingsSummary}
+
+Saved in \`${SETTINGS_FILE}\`. Use the commands above or edit the file directly. Changes apply to future explanations.
 
 ## Controls
 
-- **Mouse wheel / trackpad** — scroll in Pi's fullscreen mode
-- **↑ / ↓** — scroll in any mode
+- **Mouse wheel / trackpad** — scroll
+- **↑ / ↓** — scroll
 - **C** — copy the full explanation
-- **R** — simplify the same response again
-- **Esc** — close the window, or cancel while Bro is working
+- **R** — repeat the current action
+- **Esc** — close, or cancel while Bro is working
 
-In Pi's regular terminal mode, the Bro title warns that mouse-wheel scrolling needs fullscreen mode. Arrow-key scrolling still works.
+Bro temporarily captures mouse input while the modal is open. Native mouse selection may be unavailable or extend outside the modal; press **C** to copy everything reliably.
 
-Mouse text selection may extend outside the Bro window. Press **C** to copy the complete explanation instead.
+## Important limits
 
-## Privacy and file safety
+- Documents must be inside the current workspace, are limited to 10 MiB and 100,000 extracted characters, and must be \`.md\`, \`.markdown\`, \`.txt\`, \`.pdf\`, or \`.docx\`. Scanned PDFs need OCR first.
+- Web input is limited to one public HTML page. Bro cannot sign in, run page JavaScript, bypass paywalls or blocks, follow pagination, or understand images and video.
+- If a webpage fails, copy it into a text file or save it as a PDF, then use \`/bro file\`.
 
-Bro does not modify your project files. It creates and updates only its user settings file shown above. It runs the simplifier in sandbox mode inside a temporary empty folder. This reduces project access, but it is not a security boundary.
+## Privacy and safety
 
-Bro does not add explanations to Pi's conversation history, session files, or main-agent context. The latest explanation is kept in process memory only so \`/bro open\` can reopen it. It is cleared when you change sessions, reload extensions, or exit Pi.
+Bro sends the selected assistant reply, pasted text, or locally extracted document or webpage text to Agy and your model provider. They may retain request data under their own policies.
 
-Bro sends the assistant response to an external simplifier (currently Agy with your selected model). Agy and the model provider may retain request data or logs under their own policies.
+Bro never adds the explanation to Pi's conversation, session file, or main-agent context. The captured source and latest explanation stay in process memory until you change sessions, reload extensions, or exit Pi.
 
-\`/bro usage\` checks your authenticated Agy limits without sending an assistant response or running a model turn.
+Bro does not modify project files. For webpages, it connects directly to the site without browser cookies; the site sees your IP address and Bro's user agent. Do not use private or signed URLs.
 
-Pressing **C** copies the explanation to your system clipboard, where your operating system or clipboard manager may retain it.
+Usage and Doctor checks contact Agy but do not send source text or run a model turn. Pressing **C** sends the explanation to your system clipboard.
 
 ## Custom prompt
 
-You can create or edit:
-
-\`${PROMPT_FILE}\`
-
-Bro reads this file when running but never creates or edits it. Include \`{{response}}\` exactly once in your template. Changes take effect on the next simplification.
-
-When the settings file does not exist yet, \`PI_BRO_MODEL\` can choose its initial model.`;
+Create or edit \`${PROMPT_FILE}\` and include \`{{response}}\` exactly once. Bro reads it on the next explanation and never modifies it.`;
