Wait What
The last message did not land. Re-pitch it.
Contract
Inputs:
- The immediately preceding assistant message (and enough surrounding turn context to know what it was trying to say)
CONTEXT.md/CONTEXT-MAP.mdwhen present
Outputs:
- A short re-pitch of the same point: missing context filled in, jargon decoded, same conclusion
Creates/Modifies:
- None
External Side Effects:
- None
Confirmation Required:
- None. Advisory only.
Delegates To:
domain-modelingonly when the confusion is a glossary conflict that should be written down
Re-pitch
- Name the point that failed to land, in one sentence.
- Add the missing context — the decision, constraint, or prior turn the user did not have.
- Speak in plain English. Prefer Simplified Technical English: short sentences, one idea each, no filler.
- Use the ubiquitous language from
CONTEXT.mdwhen a glossary exists. If a term in the last message is not in the glossary, say the plain-English meaning first, then the canonical term. - End with the same ask or conclusion as the original message, restated.
Do not restart the parent skill. Do not expand scope. This is a mid-conversation corrective; after the re-pitch, the parent flow continues.
