SimpleEnglish is a portable agent skill that makes language models write technical documentation in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English. It replaces vague, promotional, and overly complex AI prose with short, direct, testable statements. The instructions enforce controlled practices such as active voice, simple tenses, consistent terminology, limited sentence length, and one instruction per sentence. It is designed for documentation, error messages, runbooks, incident reports, release notes, prompts, and translation preparation rather than marketing copy. The repository includes a complete skill, reusable system prompts, examples, evaluations, and a compact version for limited context budgets. It works with Agent Skills-compatible tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Goose, and OpenCode. Users without native skill support can paste the provided prompt into chatbot instructions or project configuration files.
