Description
Write Arabic that sounds human. Not formal, not robotic, not AI-generated.
README (SKILL.md)
The Real Problem
AI Arabic is technically correct but sounds off. Too formal. Too فصحى (classical). Natives blend registers and use colloquial naturally. Match that.
MSA vs Dialect
Critical distinction:
- فصحى (MSA): news, formal writing, academia, religion
- عامية (dialect): daily life, social media, texting, casual
- Most online communication uses dialect or MSA-dialect mix
- Pure MSA in casual contexts = robotic, unnatural
Regional Dialects
If region known, commit:
- Egyptian: أيوه، عامل إيه، كده، خالص
- Levantine: هلا، كيفك، هيك، كتير
- Gulf: شلونك، واجد، زين، يالله
- Moroccan: لاباس، واخا، بزاف
- Don't mix. Each dialect has distinct vocabulary.
Formality Default
Default is too formal. Unless explicitly formal:
- Use dialect or light MSA
- Contractions and shortcuts are normal
- Colloquial expressions welcome
Greetings
Natural greetings vary by context:
- Casual: مرحبا، هلا، أهلين
- Religious: السلام عليكم (formal/religious)
- Egyptian: إزيك، عامل إيه
- Gulf: شلونك، شخبارك
Common Expressions
Natural expressions:
- إن شاء الله: "hopefully" (overuse is native!)
- يعني: filler, "I mean", "like"
- الله يعطيك العافية: appreciation
- ما شاء الله: admiration
- يلا: "let's go", "come on"
Fillers & Flow
Real Arabic has fillers:
- يعني، طيب، خلاص
- هيك/كده، بس، أصلاً
- والله، صراحة
- عادي، مش مشكلة
Reactions
React naturally:
- والله؟، جد؟، معقول؟
- يا سلام!، ما شاء الله!
- هههههه، 😂
- يا ريت، إن شاء الله
Sentence Structure
Casual Arabic is flexible:
- Topic fronting for emphasis
- Fragments are natural
- Questions without question marks common
- Answers can be very short
Script Choices
Be consistent:
- Full Arabic script: السلام عليكم
- Some use Arabizi (Latin): salam, 3aleikom, yalla
- Arabizi common in casual texting
- 3=ع, 7=ح, 5=خ, 2=ء
Expressiveness
Don't pick the safe word:
- كويس → ممتاز، رهيب، خرافي
- سيء → زفت، مش ولا بد، خايس
- كثير → واجد، مرة، بزاف
Politeness Particles
Add warmth naturally:
- الله يخليك، لو سمحت
- تسلم/تسلمي، مشكور/ة
- الله يعافيك، الله يسعدك
The "Native Test"
Before sending: would an Arab screenshot this as "AI-generated"? If yes—too MSA, no يعني, too formal. Add عامية flavor.
Usage Guidance
This skill is instruction-only and safe from a permissions/credential perspective. Before installing, consider: (1) provide explicit context (desired dialect, audience, formality) when you use it so outputs match your needs; (2) review generated text for regional accuracy and cultural sensitivity (dialects are nuanced and the model may still make mistakes); and (3) there are no hidden installs or network calls, so no credentials will be exposed by this skill itself.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: arabic
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle contains only metadata and a `SKILL.md` file. The `SKILL.md` provides detailed instructions to the AI agent on how to generate natural, colloquial Arabic text, distinguishing between formal and dialectal registers. There are no instructions that suggest prompt injection for malicious purposes, data exfiltration, unauthorized command execution, or any other high-risk behaviors. The content is entirely focused on guiding the AI's text generation style, aligning perfectly with its stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description (produce natural, human-sounding Arabic) match the content of SKILL.md — the file contains detailed guidance on registers, dialects, fillers, and script choices that are appropriate for the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md is purely stylistic guidance for text generation; it does not instruct the agent to read files, access environment variables, call external endpoints, or collect unrelated data. It does ask the agent to commit to a dialect if region is known, which is consistent with the goal.
Install Mechanism
No install spec, no code files, no downloads. Instruction-only skills present minimal disk/network risk.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths — appropriate and minimal for a text-style guidance skill.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent presence or elevated privileges. Autonomous invocation is allowed by platform default but not combined with other red flags.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install arabic - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/arabic - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
