Simplified Technical Language Agent Skill

An agent skill that helps AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini write, rewrite, and review technical text with the rules of [ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English](https://www.asd-ste100.org/about_STE.html) (STE).

STE is the international standard for clear technical documentation. It was created for aviation maintenance, where a misread instruction can cause an accident, and is now used in defense, rail, medical devices, renewable energy, software documentation, and translation. The standard combines 53 writing rules with a controlled dictionary of about 900 approved words, where each word has exactly one meaning and one part of speech.

This skill turns those rules into a practical workflow: classify the text, split and activate the sentences, control the vocabulary, restructure the safety instructions, and verify with a checklist.

It uses the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/home) format, so it works smoothly with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and more.
