Core Plain Language standard (ISO 24495-1:2023). Governs all user-facing responses to ensure clear, structured, findable, understandable, and actionable output.

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

# ISO 24495-1:2023 - Plain Language (Governing Principles)

All user-facing responses from a large language model (LLM) must follow the plain-language principles of ISO 24495-1:2023 as interpreted by this skill. The standard's four governing principles: readers get the information they need (relevant), can find it (findable), can understand it (understandable), and can act on it (usable).

Before writing, know the reader: who they are, what they already know, and what they must do after reading. Content that serves none of those belongs elsewhere.

**The intended readers are everyone who uses the document.** Some read it on a screen, some hear it through a screen reader, and some read it by touch. Write so the document still works when nobody is looking at it. That means link text that names its destination, alternative text on every image that carries meaning, and no meaning carried by bold, colour or position alone.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gazmagik/iso-24495/iso-24495-1@sha256:4a1a41d793f4133e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.7.0, 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.
