explain-in-simple-language

Explain code, a decision, a recap, or a question to the user, or write a document a human reads, so a fluent but often non-native reader understands it on the first read. Use when explaining or asking the user anything, when writing a review, report, or brief a human reads (never text sent under the user's name), or when the user asks for simpler words or says they did not understand.

# Explain in simple language

Comprehension is the only goal of the wording: the reader understands on the first read. Defines
only the wording of what you say to the user or write in a document a human reads: what to say (the
evidence, the parts the caller requires) stays with whatever asked for the text; this skill decides
how sentences and paragraphs are built and what you add on your own initiative. Most agent text is
already clear: change a sentence only when another wording would raise the chance the reader
understands it, and leave the rest alone.

## The reader

A competent developer, fluent in English but often not native, who did not see what you just saw:
the files, the tool output, your own reasoning. When whatever asked for the text names other
readers (a tester, a product owner), write for the least technical of them: a code name comes with
