Agent Skill to Force Docs in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English

Anyone tried this as an output style and not just as a skill?

On a related note I wrote a skill to apply the economist style guide to LLM generated writing https://github.com/TAJD/economist-style-guide-plugin

Tends to produce relatively well structured prose that’s easy to edit.

It’s ironic that the README has all the tells of being LLM-written: > 53 numbered rules, 9 sections, written in 1983 by people whose readers die when a sentence is ambiguous. The ones doing the heavy lifting: …

Not really a promising tell for a writing skill, IMO.

["Skill", "Force"]

Pick one.

Okay here's one of the outputs:

> Before you start, make sure that your AWS credentials are correct. If they are not, S3 rejects the upload with a permission error.

Wouldn't it be better to write:

Before start, ensure AWS credentials are correct. Otherwise, S3 rejects uploads with permission error.

I wish this were selectable as the default output style.

What a wonderful skill. I hate the long and verbose do strings or docs LLMs spit out. This will make a great addition to my docu agent.

And I agree, maybe I should use this for my emails too

Honestly I should use this on my own emails and slack messages.

Oh, is ASD-STE100 this week’s mindless productivity/AI-bro trend?
