SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI responses sometimes arrive too dense, jargon-heavy, or missing the context you need to act on them. This Skill lets you push back and force the assistant to re-explain its last message in plain, controlled language. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Re-pitch on demand: Signals that the last message did not land and requests a clearer restatement. - Simplified Technical English: Constrains the rewrite to ASD-STE100, a controlled language with limited vocabulary and unambiguous sentence structures. - Shared vocabulary: Grounds the explanation in the ubiquitous language defined in the project's CONTEXT.md file. - Use Case: After receiving a complex architectural explanation full of unfamiliar terms, invoke this Skill to get the same idea restated in simple, standardized English tied to your project's own terminology. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to re-pitch its last message in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English using the vocabulary from CONTEXT.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get an AI to rephrase a confusing response?▼

Invoke this Skill to signal that the last message did not land. The assistant will re-pitch its previous answer with more context, written in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English and using your project's shared vocabulary.

What is ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English?▼

ASD-STE100 is a controlled natural language with a restricted vocabulary and strict writing rules, originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. It removes ambiguity by limiting word meanings and sentence structures.

Does this Skill require a CONTEXT.md file?▼

The Skill references a CONTEXT.md file as the source of ubiquitous language for the rewrite. Without one, the assistant can still simplify the message but cannot ground it in project-specific terminology.

When should I not use a simplified-English rewrite?▼

Avoid it when you need full technical precision, such as exact API signatures or formal specifications, since controlled language trades nuance for clarity. Use it for comprehension, not as a replacement for reference documentation.
