What problem does it solve? Documentation often drifts out of sync with the code, buries key facts under filler, and carries AI writing patterns that erode reader trust. This Skill enforces a two-layer discipline: structural decisions about what a document contains, and sentence-level rules from ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English that keep every sentence clear for non-native readers. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full-document judgment: Reviews, rewrites, restructures, or replaces READMEs, setup guides, API references, changelogs, runbooks, and commit messages based on the gap between the page and its goal. - ASD-STE100 rule enforcement: Applies 53 rules covering verb forms, approved modals, sentence length limits (20 words procedural, 25 descriptive), condition placement, and one-term-per-concept consistency. - AI slop detection: Ships a catalog of AI writing tropes (bold-first bullets, negative parallelism, fractal summaries) plus a searchable verification checklist for audit mode. - Use Case: Ask it to rewrite an outdated README, and it verifies every command against the code, cuts sections that fail its necessity gates, and delivers prose that survives translation and tired readers. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to rewrite the project README using the technical-writer skill and verify every command against the source code.
