From the source SKILL.md

Tale ships one calm, opinionated, second-person-informal narrator in three languages — the German page is the same voice written natively in German, never a German rendering of the English. This file is the cross-locale contract; the data that changes between languages (strike lists, drift patterns, gender maps, formal-pronoun denylists) lives in the framework's per-locale test data under [packages/ui/src/i18n/tests/locales/](../../../packages/ui/src/i18n/tests/locales/) and the per-locale voice files. Read this first, then the locale file for the locale you're in.

What this skill does
