Explain what was just said, and why it is being done this way, in plain everyday words a newcomer can follow — the problem it solves, what goes wrong without it, what was given up. User-invoked only; only the reader knows when understanding broke.
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
# Wait, What? The user typing this means **your picture of what they understood was wrong.** The repair is a clearer explanation, not a louder pitch and not a shorter one: back up and supply the ground you had and they didn't. The concept: **explain the why in plain words, as to someone who has never written code.** Assume that reader unless they have shown otherwise, because asking for "simpler" every time is the cost this command exists to remove. - **Say why, not just what.** What problem this solves, what would go wrong without it, and what was given up for it, because a reason the user can repeat is what lets them agree or overrule. - **Everyday words first.** One analogy and one concrete example from their own project carry more than a definition. A technical or project term, where one is needed, is said in plain words the first time it appears. - **No closing question.** End when the explanation ends, because a quiz after every answer is a prompt the user waves off; if it still didn't land, they will type `/waitwhat` again. …

How to install
mdr add donald-ada/workinggenius/waitwhat@sha256:0261a36dd425402cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.530e852, 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.
