Content Creation Guidelines

Author multilingual articles (news, travel guides, etc.) with structured frontmatter and CEFR B1-B2 readability; rewrite AI-generated prose so it reads as a human wrote it.

Tenant-agnostic: these patterns apply to any structured multilingual content. Domain-specific guide types (e.g. cruise port/ship guides) live in their tenant's own skills and reuse this skill's patterns.

Core Principles

• Research first — verify with web search and web fetch; triangulate facts across ≥3 sources
• Bilingual content — support multiple languages with CEFR proficiency levels (default B1-B2)
• Structured format — exact structure with proper frontmatter; one file per language
• Natural language — short sentences, plain words, no emojis (unless the medium expects them)
• Paraphrase, never copy — verbatim text fails plagiarism checks and reads stiff

Gotchas

• A single source isn't triangulation — require ≥3 credible sources before drafting factual content
• Hours / prices / contact details rot quickly — note research date so a future refresh knows what to re-verify
• Multi-language versions must agree on facts — produce one source language, then translate; don't re-research per language
• Removing every em dash or every "however" is over-correction — regularity is the AI tell, not the punctuation
• Inventing facts (made-up sources, fabricated numbers) to "add specificity" is worse than the AI prose you started with
