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 the assistant to re-explain its last message in plain, controlled language. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Re-pitch on demand: Asks the assistant to restate its previous message with more context and simpler phrasing. - Controlled language: Uses ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English so explanations stay short, unambiguous, and consistent. - Shared vocabulary: Draws on the ubiquitous language defined in CONTEXT.md so terms match your project's domain. - Use Case: You receive a long architectural explanation full of unfamiliar terms. Invoke this Skill to get the same idea re-explained in plain technical English using your project's own terminology. ## Quick Start Invoke the wait-what skill to have the assistant re-explain its last message in simpler terms with more context.

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

Invoke the wait-what skill after receiving a confusing reply. It instructs the assistant to re-pitch its last message with more context, simpler phrasing, and controlled technical English.

What is ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English?▼

ASD-STE100 is a controlled language specification that restricts vocabulary and sentence structure to make technical writing unambiguous. This Skill uses it so re-explanations stay short, consistent, and easy to follow.

Can I use this Skill without a CONTEXT.md file?▼

The Skill references a CONTEXT.md file for project-specific ubiquitous language. Without one, the assistant can still simplify its previous message, but it will lack your project's shared terminology.

Does wait-what run automatically on every response?▼

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

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

Avoid it when the original response was already clear or when you need new information rather than a restatement. It only rephrases the previous message; it does not research or add new facts.
