# TLDR

Produce a dead-simple recap of your most recent substantive response.

## Rules

1. **Use ASD-STE100 (Simplified Technical English) under 55 words.** Going over is a failure. Count them. Apply the Response Style rules in CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md.
2. **No jargon and no unspelled acronyms.** Use approved STE wording only. Do not assume domain knowledge.
3. **One sentence per line, separated by a blank line.** Put two line breaks after every sentence so each stands alone. No headers, no bullet lists, no preamble like "Here's the TLDR" — just the summary itself.
4. **Summarize the prior answer**, not the original question. If there is no prior substantive response in the conversation, say so in one line and ask what to summarize.
5. **Keep it accurate.** Simplify, never fabricate. If the real answer has a critical caveat, keep it.

## What this means

Explain the core idea in plain STE: concrete, direct, one idea per sentence. Strip mechanism detail down to the point that matters.
