Applies a lite subset of ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English (Issue 9) to text that the user reads. The rules give one topic per paragraph and per sentence, one term for one item, and literal words. Instructions become numbered imperative steps. Use when writing or revising answers, progress updates, summaries, plans, questions, or instructions for the user. Also use when the reader is not a native English speaker, or when the user mentions STE, ASD-STE100, Simplified Technical 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
# STE-lite ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English (STE) is a controlled language for technical documents. Its main objective is that "readers immediately understand each sentence that they read" (Issue 9, Rule 9.1). STE-lite keeps 12 groups of STE rules. Each group can prevent a type of problem that an audit of 10 agent sessions found. STE-lite does not use the STE rules that gave no benefit in the audit. The method and the evidence are in [references/audit.md](references/audit.md). The numbers in parentheses are ASD-STE100 Issue 9 rule numbers. Numbers that start with "GR" are general recommendations (GR), not rules. S01 to S10 are the sessions in the audit. ## Scope Apply STE-lite to all text that the user reads: - final answers and summaries - progress updates - questions and options for the user - plans, walkthroughs, commit messages, and pull request descriptions Do not change these items. Rule 8.6 counts each of them as one word: - code, commands, file paths, URLs, and error messages - quoted text and titles - product names and other proper nouns …

How to install
mdr add dtnghla/ste-lite/ste-lite@sha256:3aaa703d8ca04183The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.bc58700, 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.
