How does it decide which file is the source of truth?

The skill compares recent updates and timestamps in README.md and README_ZH.md to identify the most recent changes; if the direction is unclear, it will prompt the user for confirmation.

Does it handle specific technical terminology correctly?

Yes, it uses a built-in glossary for terms like 'adapter', 'symbolic link', and 'instructions' to ensure consistent and accurate translation for developers.

Will it translate my code blocks or technical commands?

No, the skill is specifically configured to preserve all code blocks, technical snippets, and specific technical terms unchanged to ensure functional accuracy.

Does it maintain the visual structure of the markdown?

Yes, it preserves the heading hierarchy, table formats, badges, and links to ensure both versions are visually and structurally identical.

Can I use this for languages other than English and Chinese?

This specific skill is optimized for English (README.md) and Chinese (README_ZH.md) parity, though the logic can be adapted for other language pairs.

Synchronizes and translates documentation between English and Chinese markdown files while maintaining structural and technical consistency.

This skill automates the process of maintaining documentation parity between English (README.md) and Chinese (README_ZH.md) files. It intelligently identifies changes in source files, translates prose while preserving code blocks and technical terminology, and ensures that all links, badges, and structural elements remain identical across both versions. It is an essential tool for developers managing open-source projects or repositories with a global audience, ensuring that documentation updates are reflected accurately in both languages without manual overhead.
