## Overview

Sourced calibration anchors for Portuguese, feeding `content-locale-humanize`'s AI-Slop & Translationese dimension. This is a calibration aid, not the checklist — reason natively beyond it (see the core skill's "why structure, not word lists" section).

## Instructions

Sourcing confidence: moderate — listicle-level convergence (multiple independent sites), not corpus research.

Overused words: crucial, jornada (calque of English AI-cliché "journey" as a metaphor, not literal travel).

Watch for the same connector-pileup and stock-opener patterns documented for Spanish and French — Portuguese AI output leans on the same "além disso"-class transitions. Distinguish pt-BR from pt-PT register and vocabulary; don't apply European Portuguese conventions to a Brazilian-audience piece or vice versa.
