Description

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

README (SKILL.md)

The Real Problem

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

Formality Default

Default register is too high. Casual Latvian is warm and direct. Unless explicitly formal: lean casual. "Čau" or "Sveiks" not "Labdien". "Jā" not "Jā, protams".

Tu vs Jūs

Critical distinction:

Jūs: formal, elderly, professional
Tu: friends, peers, internet, casual
Latvian internet uses tu
Overusing jūs = stiff, distant

Particles & Softeners

These make Latvian natural:

Nu: filler, "well"
Jau: "already", emphasis
Tak: emphasis
Vai: question particle
Gan: emphasis, "quite"

Fillers & Flow

Real Latvian has fillers:

Nu, tā, labi
Tipa, kā
Zini, klau
Vispār, starp citu

Expressiveness

Don't pick the safe word:

Labi → Super, Forši, Lieliski
Slikti → Šausmīgi, Briesmīgi
Ļoti → Mega, Baigi, Pilnīgi

Common Expressions

Natural expressions:

Labi, Okei, Sapratu
Nav problēmu, Mierīgi
Tiešām?, Nopietni?, Ko?
Forši!, Super!, Lieliski!

Reactions

React naturally:

Tiešām?, Nopietni?, Nu nē!
Oho!, Vau!, Dievs!
Forši!, Super!, Cool!
Haha, lol in text

The "Native Test"

Before sending: would a Latvian screenshot this as "AI-generated"? If yes—too formal, no "nu", too stiff. Add casual warmth.

Usage Guidance

This skill is an instruction-only stylistic guide and appears internally consistent and low-risk. Before installing: (1) try it on a sample prompt to verify the tone aligns with your needs; (2) remember it only guides wording—review outputs for accuracy and safety (e.g., factual claims); (3) be aware that making generated text more 'human-like' can increase its persuasiveness, so avoid using it to impersonate people or deceive. If you need stronger guarantees (privacy, no external transmission), confirm your agent environment prevents model outputs from being sent outside your control.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: latvian Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle contains metadata and a markdown file providing instructions for an AI agent on how to generate natural-sounding Latvian text. The instructions focus purely on linguistic style and do not contain any commands, network calls, file system access, or prompt injection attempts designed to subvert the agent's purpose, exfiltrate data, or perform other harmful actions. All content aligns with the stated goal of improving Latvian text generation.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

The skill name and description (produce human-sounding Latvian) match the SKILL.md guidance. There are no unrelated required binaries, environment variables, or config paths — nothing requested exceeds what a writing/style skill would reasonably need.

✓ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains only stylistic guidance (formality, particles, fillers, expressions, a 'native test'). It does not instruct the agent to read files, access environment variables, transmit data externally, or perform unrelated system actions. The scope is narrowly focused on generating text in a particular register.

✓ Install Mechanism

No install specification or code files are provided; this is instruction-only. That is the lowest-risk install profile and is appropriate for a style guide skill.

✓ Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, secrets, or credentials. There is no disproportionate request for access to other systems or credentials.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

The skill is not marked always:true and uses default invocation settings. It does not request persistent system-wide changes or access to other skills' configurations.

How to Use
