PROACTIVE SKILL — automatically apply whenever writing, generating, or editing any text that is mainly in Chinese.

  • SKILL.md covers Anti-AI / Anti-Translation Style and Chinese-English Mixed Formatting
  • Calls claude
  • Fix Chinese formatting

What it does

Fix Chinese is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. PROACTIVE SKILL — automatically apply whenever writing, generating, or editing any text that is mainly in Chinese. No user trigger needed. Also use when the user explicitly asks to "fix Chinese", "修改中文", "去翻译腔", "去AI味", "fix Chinese formatting", or "review Chinese text". Eliminates AI-sounding expressions and translation artifacts. Enforces Chinese-English mixed formatting rules (spacing, punctuation, bold formatting).

Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Translation and Humanizing AI text. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库,覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…

When your agent uses it

  • The user explicitly asks to fix Chinese
  • Fix Chinese formatting
  • Review Chinese text

Example prompts

  • “fix Chinese”
  • “fix Chinese formatting”
  • “review Chinese text”
  • “/fix-chinese”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Fix Chinese loads about 347 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 129 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~347

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 129 words (~347 tokens).

“Review the provided text or file and apply all fixes below. Make edits in-place.”
