Decode a message that didn't land: restate it in plain sentences, expand invented shorthand, split report from request, and flag claims stated without evidence. Use when the user signals your last message didn't land ("huh?", "what do you mean"), or pastes agent output from another session to translate.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Huh

Decode one message that failed its reader. The output is a translation, nothing more: perform no new work, and add no facts the target does not carry.

## Target

Pasted text: decode that. Nothing pasted: decode your own most recent substantive message. Skip back past courtesies to the one carrying content, and use the conversation it sits in to resolve its references. A target from another session arrives without its context: resolve only what the text itself supports, and mark the rest unknown rather than guessing.

## The four moves

Work every move on the target.

1. **Restate.** Rewrite the whole message in complete plain sentences at the reader's altitude, defining every term of art in the sentence that first uses it.
2. **Expand the shorthand.** List every codename, label, abbreviation, or numbering scheme the message coined, each mapped to plain words, or marked unknown when the target does not say.
3. **Split report from request.** State separately what has already happened and what the reader is being asked to decide or do. When nothing is asked, say so outright; a reader hunting for a hidden question is half the confusion.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add timharris707/skills/huh@sha256:4e016dd611af2b85

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.e600046, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
