Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100)

From README

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.
