SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI responses sometimes arrive too dense, too jargon-heavy, or missing the context you need to follow along. This Skill lets you stop the conversation and ask for a re-pitch of the last message in plain, controlled language without starting over. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Simplified Re-explanation: Rewrites the previous response using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, a controlled language standard that removes ambiguity. - Context Restoration: Adds the missing background context so the explanation stands on its own. - Domain Vocabulary Alignment: Uses the ubiquitous language defined in the repository's CONTEXT.md file, following CONTEXT-MAP.md when multiple context files exist. - Use Case: You receive a complex architectural explanation full of unfamiliar terms. Invoke this Skill to get the same explanation re-pitched in simplified English using your project's own domain vocabulary. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to re-pitch its last message in simpler terms with the missing context included.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get an AI to re-explain its last response more simply?▼

Invoke the wait-what Skill after receiving a confusing response. It re-pitches the previous message in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, adds missing context, and uses your project's domain vocabulary.

What is ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English?▼

ASD-STE100 is a controlled language standard that restricts vocabulary and grammar to reduce ambiguity in technical writing. This Skill applies those rules when rewriting the previous AI response.

Does this Skill work with domain-specific terminology?▼

Yes. It reads the ubiquitous language from the repository's CONTEXT.md file, and follows CONTEXT-MAP.md to locate the correct file when a repo contains multiple context definitions.

Can this Skill be triggered automatically by the model?▼

No. The Skill sets disable-model-invocation to true and its policy disallows implicit invocation, so it only runs when you explicitly request it.

When should I not use a simplified re-pitch?▼

Avoid it when you need full technical precision, such as exact API signatures or formal specifications, since Simplified Technical English intentionally reduces vocabulary and detail.
