simple-english is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from moeru-ai/airi. It costs 149 tokens per session (4,645 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of simple-english, MIT.

A writing guide for clear technical English based on ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English. It uses short, direct sentences and controlled terms to reduce misreading.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or review READMEs, runbooks, release notes, incident reports, error messages, and other technical text.
Why use it?
Technical documents can become unclear through long sentences, changing terms, and filler. The guide gives rules for writing or checking documentation, procedures, errors, and API guides.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is moeru-ai/airi's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on airi itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything airi configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

simple-english scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

81% identical to simple-english — 67 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 327 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Simple English: Write Like an Aerospace Manual

Write technical text with the rules of ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English. STE is the controlled language that aerospace and defense manufacturers use for maintenance documentation. The rules exist so that a tired reader who is not a native English speaker cannot misread an instruction. They remove the usual signs of AI-generated text as a side effect: long sentences, synonym rotation, hedges, filler, and decorative clauses.

Write for that tired reader. Each sentence must survive one read.

Your Task

When asked to write or rewrite technical text:

  1. Select the mode (pragmatic or strict, below).
  2. Classify each passage as procedural or descriptive. Every other rule depends on this.
  3. Fix your vocabulary before drafting. Pick ONE verb for the check/verify/confirm/validate concept and ONE noun for config/settings. Use no other word for these concepts in the whole document.
  4. Apply the rules from the catalog below.
  5. Run the self-check before you deliver. This step is not optional.
  6. Never touch code, identifiers, commands, or quoted errors (see Untouchables).

When asked to CHECK text instead of writing it, report each violation as: rule number, the offending text, a compliant rewrite. Cite only rule numbers that exist in this file. Do not cite rule numbers from memory: the numbering is unintuitive and models invent it (tested — an agent without this file cited "Rule 3.1: short sentences"; the real Rule 3.1 is about verb forms).

Two Modes

Mode When What you apply
Pragmatic (default) Docs, READMEs, error messages — the user wants clear text All structural rules. Domain words stay ("idempotent", "webhook").
Strict The user names STE, ASD-STE100, or compliance Structural rules + full vocabulary discipline, and tell the user that full compliance needs the official dictionary (free at asd-ste100.org).

Step 1: Classify the Text

Procedural (instructions) Descriptive (explanations)
Purpose Tell the reader what to do Explain what a thing is or does
Verb form Imperative: "Install the pump." Simple present/past/future
Sentence limit 20 words (Rule 5.1) 25 words (Rule 6.3)
Unit rule One instruction per sentence (5.2) One topic per paragraph (6.5), max six sentences per paragraph (6.6)

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
