Wait what skill

Wait what is part of Matt Pocock's engineering skills. Its job is to make the agent re-pitch its last message more simply when it did not land. It runs only when you call it by name; the agent never loads it on its own.

When it runs

Only when you ask for it. The skill turns off automatic loading, so the agent never starts it on its own. This is the description it carries:

Stop. That last message did not land: re-pitch it.

What ships with it

Besides SKILL.md, the folder carries these. The agent opens them only when a step in the instructions calls for one.
