## 📌 Background & Motivation

As AI coding and autonomous agents perform more legwork, human engineers spend significantly more time **reviewing, understanding, and validating LLM outputs**.

Former OpenAI Chief Scientist and Tesla AI Director **Andrej Karpathy** highlighted this paradigm shift:

> *"Writing. Something I've had success with: **Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100**, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for **'80% of the way to ASD-STE100'** because the spec is quite stringent...*
