Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install simple-english

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent applies twelve writing rules to your documents: short sentences, condition before command, one word one meaning, terms defined at first use. It also follows rules for its own replies (answer first, prose only). A Strict mode applies the ASD-STE100 vocabulary, and a check mode lists violations with a rewrite for each.

What you get

  • SKILL.md: the document and reply rules, with a before/after example
  • references/rule-catalog.md: the 53 rules of Issue 9 with examples
  • references/strict-vocabulary.md and word-swaps.md: controlled vocabulary and overused words to replace
  • references/use-cases.md: patterns for error messages, release notes, incident reports

Good fit for

  • Writing a guide, README or release notes that non-specialists can read
  • Preparing documentation that will be translated later
  • Checking a text and getting each violation with a rewrite

Not for

  • Marketing copy or brand writing, because the rules remove persuasion
  • Getting an official ASD-STE100 compliance guarantee

Frequently asked questions

Does the skill write French?

No, it writes plain English. The main file is translated into French so you can read it, but the rules target English.

Does it guarantee ASD-STE100 compliance?

No. Strict mode follows the standard, but no tool guarantees official compliance.
