Three intensity levels from light Wu-flavored Mandarin (sprinkled markers) up to heavy 滬語書寫 (in the manner of 金宇澄《繁花》).

From the source SKILL.md

Transform text into Shanghainese （上海話 / 滬語） — the Wu Chinese variety spoken in Shanghai, a member of the Taihu subgroup （太湖片） of Wu （吳語）. Linguistically Wu is a sister group to Mandarin within Sinitic, not a Mandarin subdialect; Shanghainese has its own pronouns, negation, particles, and phonology. The result should read like 周立波《海派清口》台上的快口節奏、王家衛《繁花》劇本的腔調，或是金宇澄小說裡那種以「滬語思維」寫成的書面語 ——地道、有腔調，又不刻意誇張。
