asd-ste100 SKILL.md skillA
asd-ste100 from jjmartres/ai-coding-agents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add jjmartres/ai-coding-agents/asd-ste100@v0.4.0Pins v0.4.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when English text must be parsed without a human to resolve ambiguity — tool descriptions, error messages, inter-agent instructions, system prompts, status reports — and misreading has a real cost, or when text reads as dense, hedged, or easy to misparse. Triggers: disambiguate, STE100 rewrite, apply Simplified Technical English, plain-language rewrite, controlled-language rewrite, rewrite so an agent cannot misread this. Not for creative or marketing copy.
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 English (ASD-STE100)
ASD-STE100 is a controlled-language standard built by the aerospace and defense industry (ASD, the AeroSpace and Defense Industries Association of Europe) to stop maintenance technicians from misreading English instructions. The standard removes the two biggest sources of misreading: words with more than one meaning, and sentences with more than one possible structure.
This skill borrows that same discipline for a different reader: an **AI agent or a downstream system** that has to parse an English string — an error message, a tool description, an inter-agent instruction, a status report — without a human in the loop to resolve ambiguity. If a maintenance technician can misread "close the valve" as an adjective ("the valve that is near") instead of a command, so can a language model.
## When to Use This Skill
- An agent's output (explanation, instruction, log message, tool description) reads as dense, jargon-heavy, or ambiguous.
- Text will be consumed by another agent, a translation pipeline, or a non-native English reader, and misparsing has a real cost.

How to install
mdr add jjmartres/ai-coding-agents/asd-ste100@sha256:c1157a71fcd0135cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.4.0, 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.
