Forcing AI Coding Assistants to Use Simplified English Yields Instant Results
rdesh26 · x · 2026-08-02
A developer shared a practical tip to improve AI coding assistants (like Codex): adding an instruction to the system memory requiring the model to always communicate using ASD-STE100 (Aerospace Standard Simplified Technical English).
STE100 is designed to remove ambiguity through controlled vocabulary and standardized sentence structures. This setup instantly makes the AI assistant's responses clearer, more precise, and easier to understand.
