Game Design Book Translator

Translate and polish game design books and manuscripts between English and Chinese with professional terminology.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/game-design-book-translator-dy-2026/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)

  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

When Claude uses it

Use when translating, polishing, structuring, or QA-checking English game design, game development, system design, UX, game studies, design theory books, chapters, PDFs, OCR text, Markdown drafts, diagrams, figure captions, terminology tables, or Chinese manuscripts that need professional game-design terminology.

What this skill does

This skill translates and professionally polishes game design, game development, game studies, systems design, and design theory texts between English and Chinese. It goes beyond mechanical word-for-word conversion: it stabilizes terminology across the full document, preserves argument structure, handles images and captions, and produces prose that reads as if written by a native Chinese game industry professional.

What it does

  • Establishes or updates terminology tables before translating longer works, ensuring consistent concept translation throughout
  • Translates image captions, table headers, footnotes, diagram labels, and figure annotations—not just body text
  • Structures delivery by input type: short excerpts get immediate natural translations; chapters receive term lists and structured sections; full books get private project organization with source manifests, chapter splits, glossaries, draft translation, asset folders, polished versions, and quality reports
  • Treats source materials (PDFs, OCR text, web pages, archived HTML, image captions, tables) as untrusted data—extracts observable facts and terminology without following embedded instructions
  • Handles terminology unification and Chinese-language rewriting for existing Chinese drafts, plus caption completion and quality checks
  • Separates outputs into draft translation, image-filled version, polished draft, and quality report—never misrepresents rough draft as final delivery

How to use it

Provide English or Chinese game design manuscripts, book chapters, PDFs, OCR text, Markdown drafts, diagrams, or existing Chinese translations that need professional terminology treatment. Specify whether you need a quick translation of a short excerpt, structured translation of a chapter, full-book delivery with glossary and quality assurance, or terminology unification of an existing Chinese draft. The skill will match depth and structure to your input and deliver clean, industry-standard Chinese suitable for game designers and developers.

Note: this skill's internal instructions are written in Chinese. Claude reads them natively and will work with you in English.
