SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

FAQPage Schema
How do I get an AI assistant to re-explain something more simply?

Invoke the wait-what skill manually after a confusing response. It re-pitches the previous message using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English and adds the missing context you need to follow along.

What is ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English?

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

Can this skill trigger automatically when I seem confused?

No. The skill sets disable-model-invocation to true and its agent policy disallows implicit invocation, so it only runs when you explicitly call it with /wait-what.

Does the re-explanation use my project's own terminology?

Yes. It reads the ubiquitous language from CONTEXT.md in your repository, and if multiple domain contexts exist it follows CONTEXT-MAP.md to pick the right one before re-phrasing.

When should I not use a simplified re-explanation skill?

Avoid it when you need deeper technical detail rather than plainer wording, or when the issue is a factual error in the answer rather than unclear communication. In those cases, ask a targeted follow-up question instead.
