What it does
A skill with natural-Chinese rules for agent replies and editing. The first sentence gives the conclusion directly with no "good question" or polite openers. It removes "not A but B" constructions when nobody claimed A, dashes in narration, redundant adverbs before verbs ("slightly nodded" becomes "nodded"), mechanical metaphors and translated connectors. The rules target novels and role play, everyday replies, code discussion, essays and cleanup of finished drafts. The base layer is in `SKILL.md`, extended rules and fiction rules are in `references/`. When cleaning a draft, edits stay inside sentences, only empty filler is dropped and facts stay.
Who it is for. Authors and editors of Chinese text who fix model replies, prose and role-play dialogue and want to drop the template tone.
Good fit when
- Agent replies in Chinese should open with the conclusion and no polite intros.
- A novel or role-play dialogue needs template adverbs and comparisons cleaned out.
- A technical text and code review should be checked against rules R1 to R10.
- A finished draft needs sentence-level edits without losing facts.
Not a fit when
- The text is not Chinese: the rules rest on Chinese style.
- You need strict formal or legal wording.
- The reply must keep polite openers by policy.
Example request
Rewrite this Chinese paragraph with the natural-talk rules: drop the polite intro, adverbs and template comparisons, keep the facts.Limitations
The rules are written for Chinese language and style and do not suit Russian or English text. They are style rules, not a tool for checking or evading AI text detectors. Results depend on the model and on whether the files from `references/` are loaded. For clients without skills, paste `SKILL.md` as a system prompt. The repository holds one rules file and references, and the README shows no versions or releases. The effect depends on the task: on short everyday replies the rules are barely visible, on prose and role-play dialogue they matter more.
How to disable. Delete the `natural-talk` skill folder from the agent directory or disable the extension in the client. If you pasted `SKILL.md` into a system prompt, remove it there.
