Matt Pocock Shares /wait-what Coding Agent Skill for Plain English Explanations
mattpocockuk · x · 2026-08-06
Matt Pocock introduced the /wait-what skill from his open-source skills library. When users lose track during an AI coding agent conversation or encounter jargon, they can invoke this command.
The agent then re-pitches its previous output in plain English, incorporating the project's context. The skill's core design is minimalist, implemented in just three lines of prompting to directly address the model's verbosity rather than simply asking it to 'be concise.'
