Wait, What?
Stop. That last message did not land: re-pitch it. Use when the previous answer did not land and needs re-pitching in plain language. Triggers on: wait what, I don't follow, re-pitch that.
This skill is imported from mattpocock/skills (MIT) and is user-invoked upstream.
When to use this skill
- Stop.
- That last message did not land: re-pitch it.
- Use when the previous answer did not land and needs re-pitching in plain language.
- Triggers on: wait what, I don't follow, re-pitch that.
Instructions
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).
Examples
- Apply this skill to one narrow scope first, confirm the output matches the shape described above, then widen to the full task.
- When a step needs a fact from the repository or the environment, look it up instead of asking the user for it.
Best practices
- Keep the upstream procedure intact; record deviations explicitly instead of silently improvising.
- Stop and hand control back to the user at every decision point this skill marks as theirs.
- Prefer small reversible changes, and state assumptions rather than burying them.
