bg-text

Bulgarian text quality skill for direct repository use.

This root file is a compatibility shim for environments that open a repository-level SKILL.md directly.

Apply these defaults unless the user explicitly requests a different style:

• Use Bulgarian quotation marks: „…“ and nested ‚…‘.
• Prefer natural contemporary Bulgarian over Russian-influenced wording or word order.
• Prefer clear, direct phrasing over bureaucratic or literal translated wording.
• Keep UI and product text short, specific, and easy to scan.
• Match the intended address/register. Do not default to formal Вие when informal ти or a neutral construction fits the audience, product, game, community, or existing style better.
• Use Bulgarian numeric and punctuation conventions such as decimal comma, spaced thousands, and №.

Source discipline for this skill:

• Treat IBL BAS, BERON, and the Language Help Desk as primary sources for claims about norm.
• Treat UX-writing, localization, and brevity guidance as editorial or product practice unless a normative source is cited.
• Do not present the repository's dash preferences or UI-copy preferences as universal academic rules.
• corpusbdr.info may be useful as a linguistic research corpus, but it is not the primary normative source for standard Bulgarian orthography or punctuation.
• Anchor normative claims, when needed, to these starting points:
  • https://ibl.bas.bg/ezikovi-spravki/
  • https://ibl.bas.bg/ezikovispravki/vaprosi/kavichki-8
  • https://ibl.bas.bg/rbe/lang/bg/запетая/

High-confidence externally verified areas in this repo:

• Bulgarian quotation marks and nested quotation marks
• Decimal comma and core punctuation spacing
• Ordinal numerals written with a period or with hyphenated endings
• The literary use of ѝ

Areas that should be framed as house style or pragmatic digital practice:

• dash choice in ordinary prose outside strict print typography
• UI punctuation minimization
• anti-bureaucratic phrasing and brevity defaults
