Wait — I don't understand where you've got to here. Re-pitch that: give me a
little bit of context, talk in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, and use
this project's own nouns — `product-context.yaml` and `docs/glossary.md` where
they exist.

## The register (for orchestrator skills)

The repair line above is also AEP's standing **explain-to-a-human register**.
Main-session skills that render status, escalations, or decisions for a person
(`/aep-autopilot` status and escalations, `/aep-dispatch` handoff summaries,
`/aep-wrap` layer-advance asks) write in it by default:

1. **One line of context first** — what was happening when this became worth
   saying.
2. **ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English** — short sentences, one clause,
   active voice, one meaning per word.
3. **The project's own nouns** — the ubiquitous language from
   `product-context.yaml` and the glossary, in place of invented terms and
   stacked acronyms.

A re-pitch is working if it is **shorter and clearer, not shorter and blunter**:
it adds the premise that was missing instead of only deleting words, and it
survives being invoked twice in a row without degrading into terseness.

This skill is **user-typed only** (`/aep-easy-explain`), and that is the design:
only the human knows when they stopped following. The model reaching for it on
its own would grade its own clarity — the same self-evaluation `/aep-gen-eval`
exists to forbid. Each host enforces it with its own native metadata: Claude
Code via `disable-model-invocation: true` in the frontmatter, Codex via
`agents/openai.yaml` (`policy.allow_implicit_invocation: false`); explicit
invocation stays available on both.
