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 stops the conversation and asks the assistant to re-pitch its last message in plain, controlled language so you can actually understand where things stand. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Simplified Re-explanation: Rewrites the previous response using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, a controlled language designed for unambiguous technical communication. - Context Restoration: Adds the missing background context so the explanation stands on its own. - Domain Vocabulary Alignment: Pulls the ubiquitous language from the repository's CONTEXT.md file, following CONTEXT-MAP.md when multiple domain contexts exist. - Use Case: During a long architecture discussion, the assistant dumps a wall of unfamiliar terms. Invoke this Skill to get the same content re-pitched with context, simpler wording, and the project's own domain vocabulary. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to re-pitch its last message using the wait-what skill so it explains again with context in Simplified Technical English.

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

Invoke the wait-what skill to have the assistant re-pitch its last message. It adds missing context, rewrites in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, and uses your project's domain vocabulary from CONTEXT.md.

What is ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English?▼

ASD-STE100 is a controlled natural language standard for technical documentation that restricts vocabulary and grammar to reduce ambiguity. This Skill uses it to make AI explanations clearer and easier to follow.

Does this Skill work without a CONTEXT.md file?▼

The Skill instructs the assistant to use the ubiquitous language from CONTEXT.md, following CONTEXT-MAP.md if multiple contexts exist. Without these files, the re-pitch still works but lacks project-specific domain vocabulary alignment.

Can this Skill be invoked automatically by the AI?▼

No. The Skill sets disable-model-invocation to true and its policy disallows implicit invocation, so it only runs when you explicitly ask for it.

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

Avoid it when the original response was factually wrong rather than unclear, since re-pitching only restates the same content more simply. Correct the underlying mistake first, then ask for clarification if needed.
