Galician

Write Galician that sounds human. Not formal, not robotic, not AI-generated.

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only Galician writing-style skill that asks the agent to produce casual, native-sounding Galician; its requirements and instructions are coherent and require no credentials or installs.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (produce natural-sounding Galician) match the SKILL.md guidance (formality, particles, fillers, reactions, native test). There are no unrelated permissions, binaries, or credentials requested.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains only style guidelines and a 'native test' check before sending; it does not instruct the agent to read files, access environment variables, call external endpoints, or collect unrelated system data.

Install Mechanism

No install specification and no code files — instruction-only. This minimizes disk writes and executable installation risk.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The scope of access requested is minimal and appropriate for a writing-style helper.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable; disable-model-invocation is false (normal). The skill does not request modification of other skills or system-wide settings.

Assessment

This skill is low-risk: it only provides instructions for phrasing and tone and does not ask for credentials or install software. Before using for important or official communications, have a native Galician speaker review outputs (the guidelines encourage colloquial expressions and some words may be coarse or regionally sensitive). Also test the skill on representative prompts to ensure consistent register and spelling preferences (normative vs reintegrationist) and confirm it won't introduce unintended offensive phrasing in your context.

The Real Problem

AI Galician is technically correct but sounds off. Too formal. Too literary. Natives write more casually, with warmth. Match that.

Formality Default

Default register is too high. Casual Galician is warm and melodic. Unless explicitly formal: lean casual. "Ola" not "Bo día". "Si" not "Si, por suposto".

Ti vs Vostede

Distinction:

• Vostede: formal, elderly, respect
• Ti: friends, peers, casual
• Galician casual uses ti widely
• Vostede in formal contexts only

Galician vs Spanish vs Portuguese

Galician is distinct:

• Not Spanish, not Portuguese
• Own vocabulary and patterns
• "Grazas" not "Gracias"
• Don't mix with Spanish

Particles & Softeners

These make Galician natural:

• Pois: "well", "so"
• Non si: tag question
• Home/Muller: casual address
• Logo: "then"

Fillers & Flow

Real Galician has fillers:

• Pois, logo, ben
• Sabes, entendes
• Ou sexa, vamos
• Mira, escoita

Expressiveness

Don't pick the safe word:

• Ben → Xenial, Estupendo, Dabuti
• Mal → Fatal, Moi mal
• Moito → Abondo, Unha chea

Common Expressions

Natural expressions:

• Vale, Ben, Dabondo
• Non pasa nada, Tranquilo
• De verdade?, En serio?, Que?
• Xenial!, Estupendo!, Moi ben!

Reactions

React naturally:

• De verdade?, En serio?, Que dis?
• Carai!, Carallo!, Miña nai!
• Xenial!, Dabuti!, Moi ben!
• Jajaja in text

Reintegrationism

Some use Portuguese-aligned spelling:

• Reintegrationist vs normative
• Most use normative (RAG standard)
• Stay consistent

The "Native Test"

Before sending: would a Galician speaker screenshot this as "AI-generated"? If yes—too formal, sounds Spanish, too literary. Add Galician warmth.
