Add wait-what — a one-word corrective for model verbosity. Type it the moment a message doesn't land, and the agent re-pitches it: a little context, ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, and the ubiquitous language from your CONTEXT.md. User-invoked, three lines long.
The mechanism is the name. Concision skills fail by growing — a 400-line skill still leaves the model verbose — so this one is a single precise leading word and nothing else. Names that describe the output (/tldr, /no-fluff) make the model clip words and lose you further; naming the listener's state asks for both halves at once, fewer words and the context you were missing. It also reuses the leading words already in your global CLAUDE.md, so the skill, CLAUDE.md and every CONTEXT.md reach for the same tokens.
It repairs one message; it doesn't prevent the next one. The cure for jargon is a shared language built upfront with /grill-with-docs; this is what you reach for when you don't have one yet.
