The author shares a prompt trick: asking an LLM to explain a concept in ASDSTE-100, the controlled simplified-English standard used in aviation documentation, produces clearer output than a plain prompt. The screenshots compare "explain LLM wrapper vs harness in under 300 characters" both ways: the ASDSTE-100 version's controlled vocabulary forces a tighter, more direct definition — a wrapper is a thin, easily copied layer over another company's model, while a harness is the full system of tools, memory, context control and tests.
