Fetched SKILL.md and spot-checked all 3 referenced files (references/translation-method.md, references/whole-book-quality-workflow.md, templates/book-translation-package.md) — all HTTP 200. Frontmatter has valid name+description; no hardcoded paths; grep for curl|sh/base64/tokens/exfiltration found nothing. OUTPUT test: translated a 53-word English game-design passage two ways. Baseline rendered "gameplay" as "游戏性" and gave the figure caption with no context; the skill-following version built a term table first, used "玩法" (the skill body explicitly forbids "游戏性"), made the uncertainty-vs-randomness argument relation explicit, and added a sentence explaining Figure 3.2's role in the argument — concrete divergences directly traceable to the skill's quick rules.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Game Design Book Translator does

Translates, polishes, and QA-checks English game-design, game-development, systems-design, UX, and Game Studies texts (chapters, PDFs, OCR, Markdown) into professional Chinese, building a terminology table first and translating figure captions, tables, and footnotes. Triggers when a user asks to translate or review game-design/theory material into Chinese with emphasis on consistent terminology, natural readability, image structure, and copyright boundaries. Does not trigger for general non-game translation or plain UI-string localization.
