SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI assistant responses can be confusing, jargon-heavy, or disconnected from your project's terminology. This Skill forces the assistant to stop and re-pitch its last message in clear, controlled language so you actually understand what was said. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Re-pitch on Demand: Instructs the assistant to restate its previous message with added context instead of moving forward on a misunderstanding. - Controlled Language: Rewrites the explanation in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English for maximum clarity. - Project Terminology Alignment: Pulls the ubiquitous language from `CONTEXT.md`, following `CONTEXT-MAP.md` when a repository contains multiple context files. - Use Case: During an architecture discussion, the assistant gives a dense answer full of unfamiliar terms. Invoke this Skill to get the same answer re-explained in plain, standardized English using your own domain vocabulary. ## Quick Start Ask your AI assistant to run the wait-what skill to re-explain its last message in Simplified Technical English using your project's CONTEXT.md terminology.

FAQPage Schema

How do I make an AI assistant re-explain a confusing answer?▼

Invoke the wait-what skill to have the assistant re-pitch its last message. It restates the response with more context, in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, using your project's documented terminology.

What is ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English?▼

ASD-STE100 is a controlled language specification that restricts vocabulary and grammar to make technical text unambiguous. This Skill uses it to rewrite AI responses so they are clearer and easier to understand.

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

The Skill is designed to pull ubiquitous language from CONTEXT.md, following CONTEXT-MAP.md when multiple context files exist. Without these files, the re-pitch still works but loses project-specific terminology alignment.

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

Avoid it when the original answer was factually wrong rather than unclear, since rephrasing does not fix incorrect content. In that case, correct the premise or ask a new question instead.
