Rewrite prose (docs, READMEs, PR descriptions, error messages, release notes, comments — never code) into ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English to remove "AI slop". Use when asked to make writing not sound like AI, make docs clear or plain, enforce a controlled writing style, or write technical documentation that reads human. Two modes — strict (procedures/safety) and STE-flavored (general prose).

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'ste-writing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'ste-writing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named ste-writing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/richin13/dotfiles' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '20c955f9aaf641e6780b47c806e2fa711478478d' -- 'skills/ste-writing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/ste-writing' ~/.agents/skills/'ste-writing' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'ste-writing' ~/.claude/skills/'ste-writing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
