wait-what

Stop. That last message did not land: re-pitch it.

NewUpdated Sep 9, 2026

Wait, I don't understand where you've got to here. Re-pitch that: give me a little bit of context, talk in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, and use the ubiquitous language from CONTEXT.md (follow CONTEXT-MAP.md to the right one if the repo has more than one).

Summary

This skill prompts the AI to pause and ask for clarification when a previous explanation was unclear, using simplified technical language and project-specific terminology. It is a meta-skill that does not perform code operations, file writes, or shell commands — it only adjusts the AI's communication style.

Use Cases

  • Request clarification when a complex technical explanation is confusing
  • Re-explain architecture or design decisions in simpler terms
  • Ensure project-specific vocabulary is used consistently
  • Pause the workflow to avoid downstream errors caused by misunderstanding

Quality Notes

  • Skill is extremely minimal — only 2 sentences of instruction content
  • Relies on external context files (CONTEXT.md, CONTEXT-MAP.md) that are not provided; unclear whether agent can locate these
  • No guidance on what constitutes 'ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English' — assumes agent understands the standard
  • No examples of how a re-pitch should be structured or what output format is expected
  • Unclear scope: does this skill apply to all re-pitches or only specific contexts?
  • Missing error handling for cases where context files don't exist or are empty
  • The instruction to 'disable-model-invocation' prevents manual user activation — skill is purely AI-triggered
