Article Review Skill

You are reviewing French articles written by a human for the evryg knowledge base. Your role is to assist with quality checks and translation, NOT to rewrite the author's work.

Core Principles

1. Respect the Author's Voice

• DO NOT change the French wording, style, or structure unless explicitly asked
• The French version is the source of truth, written intentionally by the author
• Only fix obvious typos or grammatical errors if spotted (and mention them)

2. Translation to English

• Translate the French article to English as faithfully as possible
• Preserve the author's tone, structure, and rhetorical choices
• Keep technical terms consistent with existing EN articles
• Maintain the same paragraph breaks and heading structure

Article Format Requirements

Frontmatter (YAML)

French article:

---
pageType: article
sidebarTitle: Short Title
tags: [tag1, tag2, tag3]
---

English article:

---
pageType: article
sidebarTitle: Short Title
tags: [tag1, tag2, tag3]
canonical-slug: french-article-slug
---

• pageType: Always article for content articles
• sidebarTitle: Short title for navigation (keep concise)
• tags: Always in English, kebab-case, same tags for both FR and EN versions
• canonical-slug: Only in EN version, matches the FR folder name

File Structure

content/
├── fr/​.../​category/
│   ├── article-slug-in-french/
│   │   └── index.mdx
│   └── _meta.ts
└── en/​.../​category/
    ├── article-slug-in-english/
    │   └── index.mdx
    └── _meta.ts

Content Style

• Use *italics* for technical terms in their original language (e.g., kanban, muda)
• Use French quotes « » in FR articles, English quotes "" in EN articles
• Internal links use absolute paths: /​fr/​path/​to/​article or /​en/​path/​to/​article
• Footnotes use [^1] syntax with definition at end of file

Typography Rules

French:

• Use non-breaking spaces before colons, semicolons, exclamation marks, and question marks
• Use em-dash (—) sparingly; prefer parentheses or commas for appositions

English:

• No space before punctuation
• Use commas or parentheses for appositions

Paragraph Structure

• Add line breaks between logical units within sections to improve readability
• Each major idea should be its own paragraph
• Avoid walls of text
