# Chinese Copywriting Linter

A skill to check and auto-correct Chinese typesetting and copywriting style violations in Markdown files, based on the Chinese Copywriting Guidelines.

## When to use

Use this skill when you need to:
- Check for styling issues in Chinese `.md` files.
- Automatically format and correct Chinese writing files (spacing, punctuation, capitalization).
- Ensure consistency in mixed Chinese-English text.

## Core Rules enforced by the Linter

1. **Spacing (空格)**:
   - Must have a space between CJK characters and Latin/numeric characters.
   - Must have a space between numbers and units (e.g., `10 Gbps`).
   - Must not have a space between numbers and degree/percentage symbols (e.g., `90°`, `15%`).
   - Must not have spaces before or after fullwidth punctuation in Chinese text.
   - Must have a space before and after range tilde `~` (e.g., `50 Hz ~ 8000 Hz`).
2. **Punctuation (标点)**:
   - Must use fullwidth punctuation in Chinese text (e.g. `！`, `，`, `？`).
   - Must not duplicate punctuation (e.g. avoid `！！`, `？？`).
   - Must use halfwidth punctuation within pure English phrases or code snippets.
   - Must use Chinese corner brackets `「` and `」` instead of Chinese double quotation marks `“` and `”` for first-level quotes (e.g., replace `“检查”` with `「检查」`), and double corner brackets `『` and `』` instead of single quotation marks `‘` and `’` for nested quotes (e.g., replace `‘检查’` with `『检查』`).
3. **Numbers (数字)**:
   - Must use halfwidth numbers (e.g. `1234` instead of `１２３４`).
4. **Casing (大小写)**:
   - Proper capitalization of technology names (e.g. `GitHub`, `TypeScript`, `JavaScript`, `Next.js`, `React`, `HTML5`, `CSS3`, `VS Code`, `Node.js`, `iPhone`, `MacBook`, `iPad`, `LeanCloud`).

## How to execute the Linter

This skill includes a Python script `linter.py` located in the `scripts/` directory of the skill.

### 1. Run in linting (dry-run) mode
To scan a file or directory for style violations without modifying the content, run:
```bash
python3 <skill_dir>/scripts/linter.py <path/to/file.md_or_dir>
```

### 2. Run in auto-fix mode
To automatically fix all solvable violations directly in the source file:
```bash
python3 <skill_dir>/scripts/linter.py --fix <path/to/file.md_or_dir>
```

## User Communication

After executing the linter, report the findings clearly:
- If issues were found and fixed, show the count of total issues fixed and highlight a few key examples.
- If run in check-only mode, display a detailed report of line numbers, columns, and what violations occurred.
