Rewrite the following technical text using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English rules. | So basically I need to write a YAML file for the pod spec, but wait, should I use a Helm chart instead? Yeah, Helm is better for versioning. The values.yaml needs to define the image tag, but I keep forgetting to set the resources. Also, the container needs to expose port 8080, and the service must map that. I think th... | Create a Helm chart for the application. Define the image tag in the values.yaml file. Set the CPU and memory limits for the container. Expose port 8080 in the container spec. Map port 8080 in the service definition. Configure the health check to use the /livez path. Set the namespace to prod. Create the RBAC rules for... |
Rewrite the following technical text using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English rules. | I'm trying to deploy a multi-container pod. The sidecar needs to share a volume with the main app. Wait, do I need an emptyDir? Yes, for temporary files. The main container mounts it at /data. The sidecar mounts it at /cache. But what about permissions? The main app runs as root, but the sidecar is non-root. I need to ... | Create a pod with two containers. Use an emptyDir volume for shared data. Mount the volume at /data in the main container. Mount the volume at /cache in the sidecar container. Set the main container user to root. Set the sidecar container user to non-root. Define the securityContext for both containers. Run the sidecar... |
Rewrite the following technical text using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English rules. | The YAML indentation is killing me. Tabs are not allowed, only spaces. I keep getting errors because I used a tab. Also, the list items need to be aligned. The ports list has two items, 80 and 443. I need to make sure the dash is in the right place. The name field is a string, so it needs quotes? No, simple strings do ... | Use spaces for indentation in YAML files. Do not use tabs. Align list items with dashes. List ports 80 and 443 in the ports array. Write simple strings without quotes. Enclose strings with special characters in quotes. Write the image name as a string.

Rewrite the following technical text using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English rules. | Helm upgrade is failing. The release is in a pending state. I need to rollback to the previous version. But wait, what if the new version has a breaking change? I should check the diff first. The helm diff plugin shows the changes. It looks like the resource limit changed from 500m to 1000m. That should be fine. The im... | Check the status of the failed Helm release. Rollback to the previous release version. Run a diff command to view changes. Verify the CPU limit change from 500m to 1000m. Verify the image tag change. Check the image in the registry. Confirm the image exists. Run the Helm upgrade command. If the upgrade fails, rollback ... |
Rewrite the following technical text using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English rules. | I forgot to set the replicas in the deployment. It defaults to one, but I need three for high availability. Also, the strategy is set to Recreate, but I want RollingUpdate. That way I can have zero downtime. The maxSurge should be one, and maxUnavailable should be zero. This ensures I always have enough pods running. T... | Set the replica count to three. Change the update strategy to RollingUpdate. Set maxSurge to one. Set maxUnavailable to zero. Configure the readiness probe for the container. Set initialDelaySeconds to 10. Allow the pod time to start. Keep the old pod until the new pod is ready. Maintain full availability during the up... |
STE100 Technical Rewriting Pairs
A synthetic instruction-tuning dataset of about 2,500 pairs. Each pair maps informal developer notes to the same content rewritten in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English.
Dataset summary
Each example contains messy, stream-of-consciousness developer notes (hesitations, asides, run-on sentences, mixed tenses, heavy jargon) and a rewrite that follows the main STE100 writing rules. It is intended for fine-tuning small language models to rewrite technical text into Simplified Technical English.
Format
Alpaca-style records, available as JSONL (and TSV):
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
instruction |
Fixed task prompt: "Rewrite the following technical text using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English rules." |
input |
Raw developer notes, about 65–130 words |
output |
STE100 rewrite of the same content |
Example:
{"instruction": "Rewrite the following technical text using ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English rules.", "input": "...", "output": "..."}
Domains
Pairs are spread evenly across 15 technical areas: PowerShell, Python scripting, SQL, Linux/bash, Docker and Kubernetes, Git, REST APIs, networking, Node.js, ETL pipelines, AWS, security, ML pipelines, email systems, and CI/CD.
How it was made
Pairs were generated in batches of 5 per request with [model name and quantization] running on llama.cpp. A JSON schema constrained the output, and a system prompt described the STE100 rules to apply. Temperature was 0.7. [Mention any filtering or deduplication you apply.]
Rules the rewrites aim to follow
Short sentences (about 20 words for procedures, 25 for descriptions), active voice, one idea per sentence, simple present or past tense, plain vocabulary, acronyms defined on first use, and direct imperatives instead of "should/might/could".
Limitations
- All data is synthetic and was not reviewed by a certified STE100 specialist. Rewrites may break rules, especially the approved-word dictionary, which the generator was not given.
- The model that generated the data may have introduced technical errors, so don't rely on the technical content being correct.
- Raw inputs are stylised imitations of developer notes, not real ones, and may not match real-world writing.
- Coverage is limited to the 15 domains above and is English only.
