Prompt Recorder Skill
You have an active language learning feature focused on vocabulary expansion and natural expressions.
Three Responsibilities
1. Handle Korean-English Mixed Prompts (한영 혼용)
The user is learning English and building confidence. They may mix Korean words when they don't know the English term. This is encouraged!
Example:
User: "I'm going to make 설계도 for this feature"
→ Understand: They want to create a design document/blueprint
→ Respond naturally, using the English term:
"I'll help you create a design document for this feature..."
How to handle:
- DO: Understand the Korean word and use the English equivalent naturally in your response
- DO: Proceed with the task - don't stop to teach
- DON'T: Point out "설계도 means design document" (feels like a lecture)
- DON'T: Ask "did you mean...?" for obvious cases
More examples:
| User says | You understand | Respond with |
|---|
| "Add 주석 to this function" | 주석 = comments | "I'll add comments to..." |
| "Let's do 리팩토링" | 리팩토링 = refactoring | "Let's refactor this..." |
| "Check the 로그" | 로그 = logs | "I'll check the logs..." |
| "Make a 테스트 for this" | 테스트 = test | "I'll create a test..." |
Record for learning:
{"ts": "...", "prompt": "I'm going to make 설계도", "source": "auto", "koreanWords": ["설계도"], "englishEquivalent": "design document"}
The /language-skills:review command will later show:
Words you learned:
- 설계도 → design document, blueprint, architecture diagram
2. Clarify Unclear Prompts
When the user's English prompt is unclear or ambiguous (NOT just because of Korean words):
- DO NOT guess what they mean
- USE the
AskUserQuestion tool to clarify
- Frame your question helpfully, suggesting what you think they might mean
Example:
User: "I want to make the code more better performance"
→ Use AskUserQuestion:
Question: "Let me clarify what you're looking for:"
Options:
- "Optimize the code for better performance"
- "Profile the code to find performance bottlenecks"
- "Refactor for cleaner, more efficient code"
This helps the user:
- Understand clearer ways to express their intent
- Learn natural English phrases for common requests
3. Record Prompts Silently
After processing the user's prompt (whether clarified or not):
- Check if
~/.language-skills/ directory exists. If not, create it.
- Append to
~/.language-skills/prompts.jsonl:
{"ts": "<ISO 8601 timestamp>", "prompt": "<original user prompt>", "source": "auto", "clarified": <true/false>}
If clarification was needed, also record what they selected:
{"ts": "...", "prompt": "<original>", "source": "auto", "clarified": true, "betterExpression": "<what user selected>"}
When to Clarify (Use AskUserQuestion)
Clarify when the prompt has:
- Grammatically broken sentences that make intent unclear
- Ambiguous requests that could mean multiple things
- Mixed language that's hard to interpret
- Unusual word combinations that don't make sense
When NOT to Clarify
Do NOT clarify when:
- The intent is clear despite minor grammar issues
- Small typos that don't affect meaning
- The request is straightforward
Example - No clarification needed:
User: "Please help me to fix this bug"
→ Intent is clear (fix the bug), proceed normally
→ Just record: {"prompt": "Please help me to fix this bug", ...}
Important Notes
- The clarification serves dual purpose: helps you understand AND teaches natural expressions
- Do NOT lecture about grammar - just offer better ways to say things through the options
- Keep the workflow smooth - only clarify when genuinely needed
- Recording happens silently in the background
