## What it does

The skill covers Chinese product copy, UI strings, API references, FAQs and changelogs. Typography comes first. A space goes between Chinese characters and Latin letters or digits, and visible text uses corner brackets `「」` instead of curly quotes. Code literals, JSON keys, URLs and database field names are exempt.

Tone rules are just as specific. Direct address with `你` or `您` is out, and so are buzzwords like `赋能` or `抓手`. English status words get translated by meaning: `Success` becomes `请求已完成`, not a literal `成功`. Tables cover common typos and term casing, so `id` turns into `ID`, `json` into `JSON`, `llm` into `LLM`.

The repo includes `scripts/lint_copy_rules.py`, a zero-dependency script that checks files or directories. CI runs it on pull requests. Project-specific conventions belong in `references/Project-Overrides.md`, invoked alongside the skill — otherwise the linter flags your own module names.
