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

Stop and ask "wait, what?" when something doesn't add up — challenge unclear assumptions before proceeding.

## Use case

Use this skill when:
- Something in the plan doesn't make sense
- An assumption needs to be questioned
- The user wants to pause and reconsider

## Workflow

1. **Pause** — Stop the current flow.
2. **Identify the issue** — What exactly doesn't add up?
3. **Ask "wait, what?"** — Challenge the assumption directly.
4. **Explore alternatives** — What other interpretations exist?
5. **Resolve** — Either fix the assumption or confirm it's valid.

## Rules

- Be direct but constructive.
- Don't let unclear assumptions pass.
- Challenge with curiosity, not aggression.

## Credit

This skill is based on the work of **Matt Pocock** ([@mattpocock](https://github.com/mattpocock)). Original source: [mattpocock/skills](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills). Licensed under MIT.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ctaxnagomi/agent-kd-skill/wait-what@sha256:09d8004c02469e0f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.54f6831, 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.
