asd-ste100-skill
by danyuchn

What you can do with it
- Rewrite tool descriptions and error messages so another agent is less likely to misread them
- Ask for a before and after table that names each rule a sentence broke
- Run the included Python linter to check text for passive voice, long sentences, semicolons and similar patterns
Make money with it
A freelancer could offer a service that cleans up prompts, agent instructions and technical documentation for clients into clear, consistent English.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Tidy the instructions and tool descriptions in your AI agent workflows so they fail less often and need less debugging
- Turn internal procedures, support replies or error messages into short, clear English that non-native readers can follow
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Install it from your project folder with the command "npx skills add danyuchn/asd-ste100-skill", and use the Python linter script separately if you want it.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Needs Claude Code, which requires a Claude account or paid API access
- Does not include the official ASD-STE100 dictionary, so it cannot produce certified compliant text
- The linter checks structure only and does not confirm that the meaning is unchanged
