SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI responses can be confusing, jargon-heavy, or miss the context of your project. This Skill lets you stop the conversation and ask for the last message to be re-pitched with clearer context, plainer language, and the vocabulary your project actually uses. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Confusion Recovery: Signal that the last AI message did not land and request a re-explanation instead of starting over. - Simplified Technical English: Rewrites the explanation following ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English rules for clarity and consistency. - Project-Aligned Language: Re-pitches the answer using the ubiquitous language and domain terms from your current project. - Use Case: During a technical design discussion, the AI gives a dense architectural explanation. Invoke this Skill to get the same idea re-explained with context, simpler wording, and your team's own terminology. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to re-pitch its last message using the wait-what skill so it explains with context in Simplified Technical English and your project's vocabulary.

FAQPage Schema
How do I ask an AI to re-explain a confusing response?▼

Invoke the wait-what skill to signal that the last message did not land. The AI will re-pitch its previous answer with added context, Simplified Technical English, and your project's terminology instead of repeating the same wording.

What is ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English?▼

ASD-STE100 is a controlled language specification that restricts vocabulary and sentence structure to make technical documentation clearer and less ambiguous. This Skill applies those rules when re-writing the AI's previous explanation.

Can this Skill use my project's own terminology?▼

Yes. The re-pitched explanation uses the ubiquitous language from the current project, meaning domain terms and naming conventions already established in your codebase or documentation are applied to the new explanation.

When should I use wait-what instead of asking a follow-up question?▼

Use it when the entire previous answer failed to land and you want a full re-explanation with context, rather than a targeted clarification of one point. It is a reset of the explanation, not a drill-down.

Does wait-what change the technical content of the answer?▼

No. It re-pitches the same underlying answer with more context and simpler, standardized language. The goal is clarity of communication, not a different technical conclusion.
