We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

9 rules. About 0 are common, 8 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈8

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  1. Distinctive:

    Use this skill by default whenever a reply contains Arabic-script prose in OpenCode, Codex, Windows Terminal, or any terminal that does not …

    line 14
  2. Distinctive:

    Do not wait for the user to remind you once the environment or instructions indicate Arabic terminal mode.

    line 16
  3. Very specific:

    Keep English/code/numbers unchanged.

  4. Distinctive:

    If Arabic appears inside machine-readable content that must remain exact or executable, preserve it verbatim and explain outside the code …

    line 72
  5. Distinctive:

    Keep punctuation attached to its token during reversal.

    line 76
  6. Distinctive:

    Do not explain this rule unless asked.

    line 87
  7. Distinctive:

    Do not apologize for transformed Arabic looking unusual.

    line 88
  8. Distinctive:

    Do not output normal Arabic prose when Arabic terminal mode is active.

    line 89
  9. Distinctive:

    Every Arabic word reversed character-by-character?

    line 94

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Arabic Terminal RTL

Purpose

Windows Terminal and some CLI surfaces can render Arabic RTL/BiDi text incorrectly. This skill makes Arabic-script prose readable in left-to-right, non-BiDi terminals.

Activation

Use this skill by default whenever a reply contains Arabic-script prose in OpenCode, Codex, Windows Terminal, or any terminal that does not reliably support RTL/BiDi rendering.

Do not wait for the user to remind you once the environment or instructions indicate Arabic terminal mode.

Required Output Rule

For every Arabic-script prose segment, apply both transformations before sending:

  1. Reverse the character order inside each Arabic-script word.
  2. Reverse the word order of that Arabic segment.

Examples:

Intended logical Arabic: الحمد لله
Terminal-safe output: هلل دمحلا

Intended logical Arabic: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله
Terminal-safe output: هللا ةمحرو مالسلا مكيلعو

Intended logical Arabic: لا إله إلا الله
Terminal-safe output: هللا ال هلإ ال

Scope

Apply to:

  • Arabic answers
  • Arabic headings
  • Arabic bullets
  • Arabic confirmations
  • Arabic questions
  • Arabic explanations
  • inline Arabic phrases
  • single Arabic words

Mixed Arabic and non-Arabic segments:

  • Reverse token order inside the Arabic-containing segment.
  • Reverse characters only inside Arabic-script tokens.
  • Keep English/code/numbers unchanged.

Preserve Exactly

Do not transform:

  • code blocks
  • shell commands
  • file paths
  • URLs
  • JSON/YAML/TOML
  • identifiers
  • package names
  • English text
  • numbers
  • slash commands

If Arabic appears inside machine-readable content that must remain exact or executable, preserve it verbatim and explain outside the code block if needed.

Punctuation

Keep punctuation attached to its token during reversal.

Example:

Intended logical Arabic: الحمد لله.
Terminal-safe output: .هلل دمحلا

Behavior

  • Do not explain this rule unless asked.
  • Do not apologize for transformed Arabic looking unusual; it is intentional.
  • Do not output normal Arabic prose when Arabic terminal mode is active.
  • Apply even to short replies.

Self-Check Before Sending

  • Every Arabic word reversed character-by-character?
  • Arabic word order reversed per segment?
  • English/code/URLs/paths/commands untouched?
  • Slash commands untouched?
  • Machine-readable content preserved?
