SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When an AI response loses you — dense jargon, an unfamiliar concept, or a tangled explanation — this Skill restates the last message so it lands, without making you re-read the original. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Plain-language restatement: Identifies the sticking point (from your argument or the whole last message) and rewrites it in compact prose with key terms defined in bold. - Visual clarification: Draws a small chat-only diagram (pseudocode, tree, or diff) when the shape of the idea — a flow, call path, or file layout — is the point. - From-scratch teaching: When the underlying concept itself is new, it hands off to a full beginner-level explanation. - Use Case: You received a dense explanation of a rebase conflict. Invoke the skill with "the rebase part" and get a one-line context, a standalone summary, and a short diagram of the branch states. ## Quick Start Use the wtf skill to restate the part about merge conflicts from your last message.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get an AI to rephrase its last confusing answer?

Invoke the wtf skill with the part that lost you as the argument, or no argument to target the whole last message. It restates the point in plain language with key terms defined in bold and at most five short beats.

How to explain an unfamiliar technical concept from scratch?

When the underlying concept itself is new, the skill hands off to the explain-simply skill, which teaches the idea from zero rather than just rewording the original message.

Can it draw a diagram instead of rewriting text?

Yes. When the shape of the idea is the point — a flow, call path, file layout, or before-and-after — it invokes the show-me skill to produce a minimal chat-only pseudocode, tree, or diff view. No files or HTML are created.

What other skills does wtf depend on?

It depends on three companion skills listed in deps.yml: write-simply for compact prose, show-me for minimal diagrams, and explain-simply for teaching new concepts. Installers pull these in transitively.

When should I not use a restatement skill?

Skip it when you need new information rather than a clearer version of what was said. It only restates the last message; it does not research, verify, or expand beyond the original content.
