npx skills add jim60105/copilot-prompt --skill chinese-content-writing-guideline -a claude-codeWhat chinese-content-writing-guideline does
The skill applies Taiwan linguistic standards (zh-TW) across articles, notes, and technical drafts. It sets boundaries against literal translations of English phrasal verbs, stopping calques such as translating fold in or land directly into word-for-word patterns. Readers encounter proper terminology for concepts like queues or memory, rather than mainland expressions.
Formatting checks demand full-width punctuation and a single space around Latin characters. For pronouns, the guidelines enforce direct reader addresses, ruling out formal honorific markers. When introducing technical concepts in English, the guide requires pairing with the zh-TW translation on first mention, then sticking to the local term.
A bash script at <skill-dir>/scripts/lint.sh scans markdown drafts for punctuation errors, repeated terms, and known calques. The script relies on GNU grep with PCRE support, requiring GREP=ggrep on macOS. This skill handles language constraints, while structural flow and tone belong to writing-style-guideline.
What it helps with
- eliminate word-for-word calques of English phrasal verbs
- ensure single spacing between Chinese and alphanumeric characters
- apply Taiwan technical vocabulary instead of mainland terms
- validate draft markdown files using lint.sh
