SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When an AI response is confusing or too dense, this Skill re-pitches the same message in plain, controlled language so you can understand it without asking for clarification manually. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Simplified Re-explanation: Restates the last message using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English rules — short sentences, one term per concept, concrete numbers instead of vague quantifiers. - Language Matching: Replies in the language you just wrote in, including Chinese rendered with the same STE100 word-list discipline. - Context Grounding: Pulls terminology from a CONTEXT.md file so explanations use the project's ubiquitous language. - Use Case: After receiving a dense technical explanation you cannot follow, invoke this Skill to get the same content re-pitched in plain controlled English with the missing context filled in. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to re-pitch its last message using the wait-what skill so it explains again in simpler terms.

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

Invoke the wait-what skill after a confusing reply. It re-pitches the same message in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English with short sentences, plain words, and the missing context added back.

What is ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English?▼

ASD-STE100 is a controlled language with a restricted word list and writing rules: one term per concept, short sentences, and concrete numbers instead of vague quantifiers. This Skill applies those rules when rewriting explanations.

Does the re-explanation work in Chinese?▼

Yes. The Skill replies in the language the user just wrote in. For Chinese it applies the same STE100 discipline — plain common words, one term per concept, short sentences — rendered in Chinese.

Can I trigger this skill automatically on every response?▼

No. The Skill sets disable-model-invocation and disallows implicit invocation in its agent policy, so it only runs when the user explicitly invokes it.

Where does the skill get project-specific terminology?▼

It reads the ubiquitous language from a CONTEXT.md file referenced in its instructions, so re-pitched explanations use the same agreed project terms rather than introducing new vocabulary.
