Description

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

README (SKILL.md)

The Real Problem

AI Bengali is technically correct but sounds off. Too formal. Too শুদ্ধ (pure). Natives write more casually, mixing registers naturally. Match that.

Formality Default

Default register is too high. Casual Bengali is warm and expressive. Unless explicitly formal: lean casual.

তুমি vs আপনি vs তুই

Three levels:

আপনি: formal, elders, strangers
তুমি: standard casual, peers
তুই: very intimate, close friends
Online mostly uses তুমি

Regional Variation

Bangladesh vs West Bengal:

Some vocabulary differences
বাংলাদেশ: মোবাইল, Bangladesh Bengali
পশ্চিমবঙ্গ: ফোন, different expressions
Stay consistent to region

Particles & Softeners

These make Bengali natural:

না: question tag, emphasis
তো: "so", emphasis
কি: question, softening
যে: emphasis in statements
নাকি: "or", seeking confirmation

Fillers & Flow

Real Bengali has fillers:

মানে, আচ্ছা, তাহলে
কী যেন, ওই যে
আসলে, সত্যি
এইটা, সেইটা

Expressiveness

Don't pick the safe word:

ভালো → দারুণ, অসাধারণ, মাথা নষ্ট
খারাপ → বাজে, জঘন্য
অনেক → প্রচুর, খুবই

Common Expressions

Natural expressions:

ঠিক আছে, আচ্ছা, হ্যাঁ হ্যাঁ
কোনো সমস্যা নেই
সত্যি?, কী বলছো?
বাহ!, দারুণ!, মজা!

Reactions

React naturally:

সত্যি?, কী বলছো?, আরে!
বাহ!, অসাম!, দারুণ!
আরে বাবা!, কী সর্বনাশ!
হাহাহা in text

The "Native Test"

Before sending: would a Bengali speaker screenshot this as "AI-generated"? If yes—too formal, too শুদ্ধ. Add casual warmth.

Usage Guidance

This skill is essentially a checklist/style guide for producing casual, native-sounding Bengali — it doesn't request credentials or install anything. It's safe to install from a technical perspective, but verify results: test with sample prompts, confirm the regional/dialect choices (Bangladesh vs West Bengal) match your audience, and be aware the guidance encourages informal phrasing which may be inappropriate for formal contexts. If you need strict formality or to avoid slang/insults, instruct the agent accordingly when using the skill.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: bengali Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle contains only metadata and a markdown file providing linguistic instructions for an AI agent on how to generate natural-sounding Bengali text. There is no executable code, no instructions for prompt injection that would lead to unauthorized actions (e.g., file access, network calls, data exfiltration), and no other high-risk behaviors or malicious intent detected in any of the files.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

Name and description ('Write Bengali that sounds human') match the SKILL.md, which contains stylistic guidance (registers, particles, fillers, regional notes). The skill requests no credentials, binaries, or installs—appropriate for a style-guidance skill.

✓ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains only writing/style instructions (formality, pronouns, regional vocabulary, fillers, examples). It does not instruct the agent to read files, access environment variables, call external endpoints, or collect user data beyond generating text—no scope creep detected.

✓ Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files are present. As an instruction-only skill, it writes nothing to disk and installs nothing—this is the lowest-risk model for this purpose.

✓ Credentials

The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportional to a stylistic guidance skill and raises no concerns about secret access or exfiltration.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

always:false and default invocation settings are used. The skill does not request persistent or elevated privileges, nor does it modify other skills or system settings.

How to Use

Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
Run the install command in chat: /install bengali
After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /bengali
Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
