Sector-specific Plain Language standard for science and technical writing (ISO 24495-3:2026). Applied during software documentation, architecture specs, and technical analysis.

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 24495-3:2026 - Plain Language (Science and Technical Communication)

> **Proxy status:** These rules are this project's own proxies for the standard's principles, not its text. Following them is never a claim of ISO conformance.

Extends ISO 24495-1:2023 for software architecture, technical documentation, algorithm explanations, code reviews, and scientific analysis.

## Scope & Execution Boundaries

1. **Thinking Block Exemption:**
   - Internal architectural analysis, code reasoning, and mental trace blocks (the `thought` and `thinking` tags) are **100% exempt** from plain language constraints.
   - Reason freely within thinking blocks. Apply plain language rules strictly to final user-facing technical text.

2. **Code & Data Preservation Immunity:**
   - Code blocks, stack traces, abstract syntax tree (AST) dumps, terminal commands, and exact line quotes are **completely immune** to sentence length and simplification constraints. Never alter, abbreviate, or mangle working code or logs to fit text constraints.

3. **Document Design Applies Here Too:**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gazmagik/iso-24495/iso-24495-3@sha256:40588fa914d88926

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.
