SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When an AI conversation drifts off track or a message becomes confusing, this Skill lets you pause and force a clear re-explanation instead of guessing at the intent. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Clarification Trigger: Interrupts the current thread and asks the speaker to restate the point with background context. - Simplified Technical English: Requires the re-explanation to follow ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English for unambiguous wording. - Shared Vocabulary: Aligns the explanation with the ubiquitous language defined in the project's CONTEXT.md file. - Use Case: During a long design discussion, the assistant's last message mixes several concepts. Invoke this Skill to get a concise restatement grounded in agreed terminology before continuing. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to invoke the wait-what skill to re-explain its last message in simplified technical English using the project's shared vocabulary.

FAQPage Schema

How do I ask an AI assistant to re-explain a confusing message?▼

Invoke the wait-what skill, which instructs the assistant to restate its last point with background context. The restatement uses ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English and the project's shared vocabulary.

What is ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English?▼

ASD-STE100 is a controlled language specification that restricts vocabulary and grammar to make technical writing unambiguous. This Skill uses it so re-explanations avoid jargon and complex sentence structures.

Can I use this clarification skill in any AI conversation?▼

Yes, it works in any conversational context, but it is most effective when the project maintains a CONTEXT.md file defining its ubiquitous language. Without that file, the assistant falls back to general simplified English.

When should I not use a re-explanation prompt?▼

Avoid it when the issue is a factual error rather than unclear wording, since restating will not correct wrong information. In those cases, ask a direct corrective question instead.
