Fix Chinese Writing
Review the provided text or file and apply all fixes below. Make edits in-place.
Anti-AI / Anti-Translation Style
- Write natural, fluent Chinese as a native speaker would
- Remove these phrases on sight: "值得注意的是", "需要强调的是", "总而言之", "综上所述", "这不是科幻"
- Reduce overuse of "的" — restructure sentences instead
- Replace stiff passive voice with active constructions
- Break up long attributive clauses (定语从句) into shorter sentences
- Cut empty filler and overly polite expressions
- Do not add quotation marks unless necessary
Chinese-English Mixed Formatting
- Half-width space between Chinese and English/numbers:
Claude Code 是,第 1 章 - Full-width punctuation in Chinese context, half-width in English/code context
- Keep proper nouns in English: Claude Code, MCP, Skills, GitHub, Vibe Coding
- When bold Chinese text is followed by more text, add a space after the bold:
**这里** 和**那里**
