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 the last message to be re-pitched in plain, simplified language without losing the technical meaning. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Simplified Re-explanation: Rewrites the previous response using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, a controlled language designed for clarity. - Context Restoration: Adds the missing background context so the explanation stands on its own. - Domain Vocabulary Alignment: Pulls the ubiquitous language from the repository's CONTEXT.md file (following CONTEXT-MAP.md when multiple exist) so terms match your project's domain. - 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 more context using the wait-what skill.

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 rewrites 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 natural language standard originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. It restricts vocabulary and sentence structure to reduce ambiguity, making technical explanations easier to understand.

Does this skill work with any repository structure?▼

It works best when the repository contains a CONTEXT.md file defining the project's ubiquitous language. If multiple contexts exist, it follows CONTEXT-MAP.md to select the right one; without these files it falls back to general simplified English.

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

Avoid it when the original response was factually wrong rather than unclear, since rephrasing preserves the same content. In that case, correct the underlying information first, then ask for a simplified explanation.
