Agent skill · backnotprop
readback
Clearly restate a human's request so they can confirm alignment before work begins. Use when the human explicitly invokes /readback or $readback after a long, dictated, unclear, or complex prompt; never invoke automatically.

What this skill does
Readback State what I am asking for in clear, concise language so I can confirm that we are aligned. State the request in clearer words. Do not repeat it word for word. Keep the goal and important requirements. Do not add details or start the work. End with “Is that right?”
How to use it
Reference it in AdaL, Claude Code, Cursor or any coding agent — nothing to install:
