# Tutur Jawa

## Overview

Use this skill to produce, adapt, or review text related to Bahasa Jawa. Produce usable ordinary-context output from local resources. Mark uncertain wording instead of pretending it is verified.

Region/context: Jawa Tengah, DI Yogyakarta, Jawa Timur, diaspora Jawa, dan variasi lokal terkait

Source confidence: Level 2. Public dictionary and grammar references exist, but dialect and unggah-ungguh choices require extra caution.

## Search And Discovery

Relevant searches: Bahasa Jawa, kamus Bahasa Jawa, contoh Bahasa Jawa, belajar Bahasa Jawa, terjemahan Indonesia Jawa, translate Bahasa Jawa, Jawa ngoko, Jawa krama, unggah-ungguh Jawa, AI skill Bahasa Jawa.

Use this skill for source-aware Javanese generation and review. It is not a certified translator and must keep speech level, dialect, court, ritual, public, legal, educational, or official text under competent speaker review when uncertain.

## Workflow

1. Identify the task.
   - If the user asks for translation, check whether a source sample or dictionary reference is available.
   - If the user asks for style, preserve meaning and adapt register carefully.
   - If the user asks for cultural tone, avoid stereotypes and ask for audience/context when needed.

2. Check source confidence.
   - Use `references/sources.md` first.
   - Identify whether the user needs ngoko, krama, krama inggil, public announcement style, or a local dialect.
   - Use dictionary/grammar references for important word and structure choices.
   - If a local spelling or dialect choice is unclear, preserve the Indonesian term and add a short note.

3. Compose with source discipline.
   - Keep names, places, titles, dates, and facts unchanged.
   - Prefer verified local words only.
   - For unknown terms, use Indonesian or ask for a local sample.

4. Final pass.
   - State uncertainty briefly when relevant.
   - Do not claim native-speaker or official authority.
   - Do not flatten the language into generic Indonesian slang.

## Output Style

- For direct requests, return the adapted output first.
- For review requests, list risks and then provide a safer rewrite.
- For public, ritual, legal, educational, or official use, recommend native-speaker or Balai Bahasa review.
