SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When an AI agent's last response was confusing, off-target, or full of jargon, this Skill forces a re-explanation: it re-pitches the previous message with the missing context, written in controlled, unambiguous language grounded in the project's own vocabulary. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Re-pitch on demand: Interrupts the flow and asks the agent to restate its last message with the context you were missing. - ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English: Rewrites the explanation in a controlled technical language that removes ambiguity and jargon. - Project vocabulary grounding: Pulls terminology from docs/resources/CONTEXT.md (following docs/resources/CONTEXT-MAP.md when multiple context files exist, or falling back to a root CONTEXT.md). - Use Case: An agent gives a dense architectural explanation mid-session; invoke this Skill to get the same point restated plainly, using the exact terms your project documentation defines. ## Quick Start Invoke the wait-what skill right after a confusing agent response to have it re-explained in Simplified Technical English using your project's CONTEXT.md vocabulary.

Frequently Asked Questions about wait-what

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Invoke the wait-what skill immediately after the unclear message. It instructs the agent to re-pitch its last response with the missing context, written in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English using your project's own terminology.

What is ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English used for?▼

ASD-STE100 is a controlled language that restricts vocabulary and sentence structure to remove ambiguity from technical writing. This Skill uses it so re-explanations are precise, consistent, and free of jargon.

Does wait-what work without a CONTEXT.md file?▼

The Skill looks for docs/resources/CONTEXT.md, follows docs/resources/CONTEXT-MAP.md when several context files exist, and falls back to a root CONTEXT.md. Without any of these, the re-pitch still happens but lacks project-specific vocabulary grounding.

Can wait-what be triggered automatically by the agent?▼

No. The Skill sets disable-model-invocation to true, so it only runs when you explicitly invoke it. This keeps it as a deliberate user interrupt rather than an automatic behavior.

When should I not use wait-what?▼

Avoid it when the issue is a factual error rather than unclear communication, since re-pitching only restates the same content more clearly. For wrong answers, correct the agent directly or restart the task with better instructions.
