{simple-english}
Write or rewrite text in plain, layman-readable English in the spirit of ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English: short sentences, active voice, simple tenses, one word one meaning, condition before command, every technical term defined at first use, no AI slop. Default mode is Plain. Strict mode applies full STE vocabulary compliance when the user names STE, ASD-STE100, or compliance. Use for documentation, READMEs, runbooks, procedures, error messages, release notes, incident reports, API guides, and explanations for readers outside the field. Also use when the user says "STE", "Simplified Technical English", "ASD-STE100", "plain English", "layman's terms", "explain it simply", "no jargon", "de-slop", "make this readable", "write for non-native readers", or asks for docs that translate well. The same rules govern the reply: answer first, prose only.

Skill graphHow this page is produced
The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.
Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.
Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.
An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
