# STE-Code

> STE-Code is a controlled-language variation of ASD-STE100 for software documentation, distilled here for LLM consumption as small sub-documents. Load the tier that matches your context window; each tier is a directory of focused files plus an _index.md.

## Tiers

- [level-2/](level-2/) — level -2 — ultra-minimal: the 14 core principles only
- [level-1/](level-1/) — level -1 — minimal/core: 14 core principles + synonym table
- [level0/](level0/) — level 0 — baseline: core principles + short dictionary excerpt
- [level1/](level1/) — level 1 — + doc templates (code review / PR feedback)
- [level2/](level2/) — level 2 — + section-specific grammar rules
- [level3/](level3/) — level 3 — + complete dictionary excerpt + all rules
- [level4/](level4/) — level 4 — + extensions + reference catalogue
- [level5/](level5/) — level 5 — full standard (all rules + extensions + catalogue + provenance)

## Full standard

- [llms-full.txt](llms-full.txt) — concatenation of every distilled sub-document.
