What problem does it solve?
Agent-written and human-drafted prose is often correct but hard to read: long sentences, passive voice, stacked hedges, and rotating synonyms that make one action look like three. This Skill applies the ASD-STE100 controlled-language standard so that reports, PR descriptions, error messages, and instructions cannot be misread by the person or agent acting on them.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Rule-based rewriting: Applies a concrete rule table covering one meaning per word, active voice, simple tenses, one idea per sentence, sentence length caps, and noun-cluster limits.
- Structured rewrite workflow: Reads for meaning first, names the broken rule per sentence, rewrites while preserving every fact, number, and condition, then re-checks the result.
- Worked examples and rule detail: Ships reference files with before/after examples for tool descriptions, error messages, agent instructions, and report findings, plus background on the ASD-STE100 standard.
- Use Case: You drafted a dense PR description or a vague error message like "An error may have occurred due to a possible mismatch." Ask for an STE rewrite and get short, active, single-idea sentences that name the actor and the fix.
Quick Start
Rewrite this error message in simplified technical English: "An error may have occurred while processing your request due to a possible mismatch in the expected data format."
