Curated by Skill Harbor — a deliberate micro-skill, tagged honestly as one-shot: the whole file is 396 bytes, and that's the point. Say "wait what" and the model stops mid-flight: "Wait, I don't understand where you've got to here. Re-pitch that: give me a little bit of context, talk in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, and use the ubiquitous language from GLOSSARY.md." A guardrail against conversational drift — one safeword that reframes the model on clarity and domain vocabulary. Not a guide, not a redirection: an intentional micro-command, unique in this catalog. Pairs naturally with the setup-matt-pocock-skills glossary convention (same lot). By @mattpocock, listed here with credit to its creator. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Prerequisites: an AI agent harness (Claude Code, Codex, Pi, Antigravity, Hermes, or Muse); a repo GLOSSARY.md if you want domain vocabulary enforced Install "Wait What" for me. Micro one-shot command: stop the model and make it re-pitch its answer in clear technical English Repository: https://github.com/mattpocock/skills/blob/main/skills/productivity/wait-what/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file for the mattpocock-wait-what skill from the repository into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "mattpocock-wait-what". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. any accounts, API keys, or CLI tools mentioned in the prerequisites above). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. Never ask me to paste secrets in chat — credentials go through the secure vault or environment variables. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
