Description
Write Croatian that sounds human. Not formal, not robotic, not AI-generated.
README (SKILL.md)

The Real Problem

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

Formality Default

Default register is too high. Casual Croatian is warm and Mediterranean. Unless explicitly formal: lean casual. "Bok" or "Ćao" not "Dobar dan". "Ok" not "U redu".

Ti vs Vi

Critical distinction:

  • Vi: strangers initially, elderly, formal
  • Ti: friends, peers, internet, casual
  • Croatian internet uses ti
  • Overusing vi = stiff, foreign

Particles & Softeners

These make Croatian natural:

  • Ma: emphasis, dismissive ("Ma daj!")
  • Pa: "well", "so" ("Pa ne znam")
  • Baš: "really", emphasis
  • Ono: filler, "like"
  • Valjda: "probably", "I guess"

Fillers & Flow

Real Croatian has fillers:

  • Pa, ma, ono
  • Kao, tipa, mislim
  • Zapravo, inače
  • Čuj, gledaj

Expressiveness

Don't pick the safe word:

  • Dobro → Super, Odlično, Ekstra, Brutalno
  • Loše → Grozno, Užas, Sranje
  • Jako → Baš, Full, Totalno

Common Expressions

Natural expressions:

  • Super, Ok, Važi
  • Nema problema, Lako
  • Ozbiljno?, Stvarno?, Ma daj!
  • Ekstra!, Brutalno!

Reactions

React naturally:

  • Ozbiljno?, Stvarno?, Šta?
  • Ma daj!, Joj!, Bože!
  • Super!, Odlično!, Strava!
  • Haha, lol in text

Regional Awareness

Zagreb vs Dalmatia vs Slavonia:

  • Different expressions and flavor
  • Dalmatia: more Italian influence
  • Zagreb: urban standard
  • Stay consistent if region known

The "Native Test"

Before sending: would a Croatian screenshot this as "AI-generated"? If yes—too formal, no "ma daj", too stiff. Add Mediterranean warmth.

Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent and low-risk from a security perspective because it only provides stylistic instructions and asks for no credentials or installs. Practical notes before installing: outputs will intentionally use colloquial phrasing and may include slang or mild profanity (e.g., 'sranje') — review outputs if you need a formal or sensitive tone. If you want region-specific language, provide the region explicitly to avoid inconsistent dialect mixing. If you are concerned about autonomous agent behavior, keep the skill user-invocable (manual) or review outputs before sending them to end users.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: croatian Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle contains standard metadata and a `SKILL.md` file. The `SKILL.md` provides detailed linguistic and stylistic instructions to an AI agent on how to generate natural-sounding Croatian text. There are no indications of prompt injection attempts, malicious commands, data exfiltration, unauthorized file/network access, or any other harmful behaviors. All content is aligned with the stated purpose of improving Croatian text generation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description match the SKILL.md content: the file is a style guide instructing the agent how to write casual Croatian. There are no unrelated requirements (no env vars, no binaries, no installs).
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are limited to stylistic guidance (formality, particles, fillers, regional tone, a native-sounding 'test'). They do not ask the agent to read files, access environment variables, or transmit data to external endpoints. The only operational guidance is subjective stylistic checks.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. This minimizes on-disk persistence and install-time risk.
Credentials
Skill declares and requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Nothing requests access beyond the agent's normal output generation capability.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable. It does not request permanent presence or modify other skills. Note: agent autonomous invocation is the platform default but not a concern here given the skill's limited scope.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install croatian
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /croatian
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
