FAQPage Schema
How do I rewrite a technical reply in plain language?▼

Invoke the what skill after receiving a reply. It re-pitches the last answer using short sentences, one instruction per sentence, and concrete words, following ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English while preserving the original meaning.

What is ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English?▼

ASD-STE100 is a controlled language standard that mandates short sentences, one instruction per sentence, and concrete vocabulary. This Skill applies those rules when rewriting replies so the output stays clear and unambiguous.

Does the what skill change the meaning of the original reply?▼

No. The Skill preserves the meaning of the reply and replaces only its explanation. Project terms that cannot be avoided are defined in plain words the first time they appear.

Can the what skill be invoked automatically by the model?▼

No. The Skill sets disable-model-invocation to true and its agent policy disallows implicit invocation, so it runs only when the user explicitly invokes it.

When should I not use plain-language rewriting?▼

Avoid it when the exact technical wording matters, such as specifications, error messages, or code snippets, since rewriting replaces the explanation and may soften precise terminology.
