Documentation

README

Skill: Idiomatic Translate (Multi-Language)

Purpose

Translate copy from any source language to any target language with idiomatic fluency, cultural awareness, domain expertise, and consistent voice — language-agnostic pattern optimized for B2B SaaS platforms.

Usage context: Bulk translation of UI copy, help text, error messages, and onboarding content. Automatically detects source language. Replaces mechanical translation with culturally-aware, tonally-consistent output in the target language.

Abort-Safe Handler

Abort-Safe Handler decides whether `/gaai:bootstrap` enters the Q&A loop or skips it. It returns a unified abort-safe result with telemetry and prevents partial state when the user skips or aborts.

Ambiguity Detector

Ambiguity Detector scores project ambiguity from surface scans, optional open-question synthesis entries, and optional AST signals. It produces structured ambiguity_feed entries for the Q&A stage without making LLM calls.

Bootstrap LLM Synthesis

Bootstrap LLM Synthesis constructs a prompt from project scans, optional tree-sitter context, and Q&A answers, then calls an LLM to produce validated memory entries. Use it in Stage 3 of the /gaai:bootstrap pipeline when raw project signals need to be distilled into structured, traceable notes.
