Side-route skill for when an explanation did not land. Use when the user says 'wait, what', 'I don't follow', 'say that again', or 'in plain English' — it diagnoses which kind of confusion occurred and re-states the same answer in controlled technical English with every domain term glossed on first use. Not for producing new work, retracting a wrong answer, or trimming a long answer the reader already understood.
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
# Re-pitch Say it again so it lands. `/re-pitch` takes the answer that just failed and re-states the *same* content under a checkable restriction: short declarative sentences, active voice, the project's own domain terms, and a short in-line definition for every one of those terms the first time it appears. ## Overview Re-explaining is not the same as summarizing. A summary assumes the reader understood and wants it shorter. `/re-pitch` assumes the reader did **not** understand, and that saying less of the same thing will fail the same way. Two ideas do the work. **Confusion has three distinct causes, and each has a different repair** (Hermans). A reader stalls because a term is unknown to them, because the situational facts are missing, or because too many steps arrived at once. Shortening only fixes the third. Applied to the first, a shorter answer still contains the unexplained term — now with less around it to infer from. …

How to install
mdr add chrislacey89/skills/re-pitch@sha256:efdfddd289a64351The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.7ee2194, 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.
