Entry convention for language and writing style. Load it at the start of any task that produces documents, specs, plans, reports, ADRs, pull requests, issue text or code comments, and whenever you are unsure which language to answer in. Deliverables go in English written in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English (STE), unless the project names another language; the conversation stays in the user's language, in Simplified Technical Spanish (ETS) when the user writes in Spanish.

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

# Simplified technical language

If AGENTS.md sets a different convention for this topic, follow AGENTS.md.

## Which language goes where

| Output | Language | Style |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Files in the repository: specs, plans, ADRs, README, AGENTS.md, code, commit messages | The document language | STE |
| Pull request descriptions, PR comments, issues, work items | The document language | STE |
| Messages to the user in the conversation | The user's language | STE in English, ETS in Spanish, the same principles in other languages |
| Working notes in `.scratchpad/` | The user's language | Same as the conversation |

The document language is English, unless the project names another one (in AGENTS.md, its YesYak block or the user's instructions). Other skills say "the document language" and do not repeat this rule.

Identifiers, commands, file paths, error messages and quoted UI text stay exactly as they are. Do not translate them.

## Style

Write English deliverables in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English. Write Spanish in the same spirit (ETS). This skill does not repeat the rules of the standard.

## Conversation style

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add webreactiva/yesyak/simplified-technical-language@sha256:b8199575c85c780e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.b634987, 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.
