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

Hacker News commenters debated an agent skill that rewrites text into ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English.

Some saw value in using controlled language to make AI-generated technical documentation clearer and less ambiguous.

Others argued the rewrites still felt unclear in places and that similar results could be achieved with careful prompting or existing style guidance.

The discussion also reflected broader skepticism about low-effort AI “skills” and whether they add real value.
