# Wait, what? — the last message did not land Stop and re-pitch it: - **Context first.** One or two sentences on what we are deciding, before anything else. - **Simplified Technical English** ([ASD-STE100](https://www.asd-ste100.org/)) — short sentences, one idea each, plain verbs, no term the design has not defined yet. - **The names this effort already settled** — the map's `Notes` or the repo's `CLAUDE.md` where either exists, otherwise the words this conversation has already used. Never a second word for a thing that already has one. **Do not rephrase. Re-explain from the concrete thing** — the file, the map section, the line. The same abstraction in different words fails twice. > Prior art: Matt Pocock's `wait-what` skill (MIT). Same move; this one reads vocabulary off > the map's `Notes` rather than a `CONTEXT.md`, which this playbook does not use.
