Traditional Chinese Humanizer

Overview

Use this skill to turn Traditional Chinese drafts into natural, precise, Taiwan-facing writing without losing meaning. The goal is not to make text casual; it is to remove AI smell, empty polish, translationese, and unsupported claims while preserving the reader's task, evidence, and tone.

This skill is portable. It can be used by itself or loaded from OpenPress writing workflows.

Workflow

1. Identify the text's job: decision memo, proposal, product copy, report, documentation, social post, email, or article.
2. Preserve facts, claims, constraints, numbers, named entities, source attributions, and required terminology.
3. Scan for AI-writing patterns. For long or high-risk drafts, read references/ai-patterns.md.
4. Rewrite in Traditional Chinese with Taiwan usage. Read references/taiwan-style.md when the draft contains Simplified Chinese, PRC phrasing, or awkward direct translation.
5. Check evidence strength. Downgrade or remove claims that cannot be supported by the provided material.
6. Deliver the revised text first. Add a short change note only when it helps the user understand editorial decisions.

Core Rules

• Say the actual point directly. Do not use dramatic contrast to compensate for thin substance.
• Prefer concrete subjects, verbs, situations, numbers, limits, and outcomes over abstract nouns.
• Keep each paragraph responsible for one idea. A reader should know who did what, under what condition, and why it matters.
• Use active phrasing unless the actor is unknown or irrelevant.
• Avoid over-promising. Without evidence, do not write "最佳", "顛覆", "重新定義", "革命性", "前所未有", or equivalent claims.
• Trust the reader. Remove filler openings, excessive transitions, generic conclusions, and chatbot politeness.
• Vary sentence length. Use short sentences for judgments, longer sentences only when they carry real detail.
• Use Traditional Chinese and Taiwan common usage. Keep established technical terms in English when forced translation would be less clear.

High-Risk Patterns

Treat these as review triggers:

Editing Moves

1. Delete the formula: remove contrast scaffolding, generic trend openings, softening phrases, and decorative emphasis.
2. Recover the claim: identify whether the sentence is about a feature, result, risk, limitation, opinion, or next action.
3. Add missing specifics: actor, audience, scenario, data, timing, dependency, or tradeoff.
4. Match the tone: professional content can still have voice, but it should not sound like a speech, ad slogan, or chatbot reply.
5. Read aloud once. If every sentence has the same cadence, revise the rhythm.

Tables and Structured Text

Tables should scan like tables, not paragraphs.

• If the column says "規模", the cell should usually be only a number and unit.
• If the column says "狀態", avoid repeating "目前", "已經", "已支援", or "完成".
• If the column says "能力", "功能", or "備註", prefer noun phrases or short clauses.
• Move causal explanations, caveats, and evidence to the paragraph before or after the table.

Subject Continuity

Do not restart every sentence with the product, company, or founder name. Once the subject is established, continue with "產品", "平台", "團隊", "這項設計", or omit the subject when clear.

Keep the full name when:

• ambiguity would confuse the reader,
• the paragraph changes subject,
• the sentence is a conclusion that intentionally returns to the main actor.

Output Format

When useful:

Avoid long diagnostic lists unless the user asks for review details.

Final Check

• Are any slogan frames still present?
• Does each paragraph include a real subject and action?
• Are claims supported by supplied evidence?
• Is the language Traditional Chinese with Taiwan usage?
• Are English technical terms preserved when they are clearer than forced translation?
• Does the text sound like a competent person wrote it for a reader, not like a model performing polish?
