Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI and other agents that read SKILL.md.
What it does

When an agent's explanation lands confusingly, wait-what stops the conversation and asks for a re-pitch using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English and domain-specific glossary terms. It's essential for keeping agent-to-human communication clear and grounded in shared vocabulary. Use it whenever comprehension breaks down.

  • Detects and flags unclear or jargon-heavy explanations before they cascade
  • Requests re-pitches using ASD-STE100 plain-language standards
  • Routes to project GLOSSARY.md for consistent terminology across codebases
  • Breaks the loop: stops agents from over-explaining when basics weren't clear
