Use when writing anything the user reads — a response, an answer, a final report, a status update, a question, a decision request, a warning, step-by-step instructions, or a subagent hand-back. Applies the ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English writing rules to user-agent communication, including readers whose first language is not English.
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 for agent messages ASD-STE100 is a controlled language for technical text: few words, one meaning for each word, short sentences, and fixed shapes for instructions, descriptions and warnings. A reader understands an STE message on the first read, also when English is their second language. This skill applies the STE writing rules to every message an agent writes to the user. It does not apply the STE dictionary word for word. It keeps the rules that make a message clear. ## Scope - **Rules apply to:** the prose of a message — sentences, list items, table cells, headings. - **Text that stays exactly as it is:** code blocks, inline code, commands, file paths, identifiers, versions, URLs, numbers, and quoted error text or quoted user words. Each of these counts as one word. - **Repository documents** (READMEs, docs, ADRs) follow their own instructions. Use this skill for them only when those instructions ask for it. ## Message shape Write each message in this order. Leave out a part that has no content. 1. **Result** — one or two sentences: what is done, what is not done, and the state now. …

How to install
mdr add arasz/ai-badger/simplified-technical-english@sha256:83190c86496ef1c2The 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.
