# ASD-STE100: Simplified Technical English & 80% Karpathy Mode > **Claude Code Plugin · Mod · Agent Skill · Linter & CLI** > Controlled technical English specification to minimize cognitive load, eliminate ambiguity, and optimize LLM reasoning and human oversight. [](LICENSE) [](https://code.claude.com) [](https://www.asd-ste100.org/) --- ## 📌 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...* > > *In summary:*
