Final reports to the user - STE-flavored English, verbatim identifiers, a plain-text diagram only when structure needs one

The file

We split this reporting.mdc into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Write in STE-flavored English: the ASD-STE100 structural rules, not its dictionary.

    line 10
  2. Distinctive:

    Keep every hedge and condition as found: "may fail" never becomes "fails".

    line 12

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 6,668 Cursor rule files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

# Reporting

Applies to the report to the user at the end of a task or a step. It does not apply to code, commit messages, changesets, docs, or a subagent whose prompt sets an output format.

- Write in STE-flavored English: the ASD-STE100 structural rules, not its dictionary. Active voice, one fact per sentence, at most 20 words for a step and 25 for a description, no semicolons, no phrasal verbs, no noun cluster longer than three words.
- Give each thing one name for the whole report. Never rotate synonyms.
- Keep every hedge and condition as found: "may fail" never becomes "fails". State a skipped or failed check plainly, with its command.
- Order: the result first, then the verification (exact command and outcome), then open items. Put three or more steps or items in a list.
- Add a diagram only when prose hides structure: a flow across three or more components, a before/after layout, a state change. Draw it in a fenced `text` block with box-drawing characters, because terminals do not render Mermaid. Never draw a diagram that repeats a list.
- Paths, identifiers, commands, and error text stay verbatim in backticks. The STE limits do not apply inside them.
