The skill itself
SKILL.md
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 GLOSSARY.md (follow GLOSSARY-MAP.md to the right one if the repo has more than one).
Tips for Wait What

- • It is part of a pack with 39 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
