Apply ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English to ALL writing: docs, READMEs, runbooks, error messages, release notes, commit messages, agent prompts, UI copy, and chat replies. Short sentences, active voice, simple tenses, one word per meaning, condition before command, every technical term defined at first use, no AI slop. Default mode is Plain (structural rules only). Strict mode applies full STE vocabulary compliance when the user names STE, ASD-STE100, or compliance. Use for any text the…

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

# ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English

Write plain English that a smart reader outside your field understands on
one read. The rules come from ASD-STE100, the controlled language that
aerospace uses for maintenance manuals. Two registers exist: the document
you write or rewrite, and the reply you type in chat. Each has its own short
rule set below.

The standard has 53 writing rules across 9 sections plus a dictionary of
roughly 900 approved words and 1,200 words to avoid with suggested
replacements. The official dictionary is copyrighted by ASD and is not
reproduced here. Full compliance needs the official free download at
asd-ste100.org. This skill teaches the rules; it is lossy on vocabulary.

## When to use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

- Disambiguate text, or rewrite so an agent cannot misread it
- Apply Simplified Technical English, STE100, or controlled language
- Rewrite in plain language, layman's terms, or for non-native readers
- Remove jargon, slop, or AI writing from docs, prompts, or replies
- Write or check error messages, runbooks, incident reports, release notes,
  commit messages, agent prompts, or UI copy

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add beingdurgesh/asd-ste100-simplified-technical-english-agent-skill/ste100@sha256:67c8276fcd6a7d32

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
