# Unslangify Turn slang-heavy text into plain English that a confused adult can act on. ## How The vocabulary ships inside this skill, in the `data/` directory beside this file. Read the pack matching the input language — `data/pack.json` for English, `data/pack.de.json` for German — plus `data/patterns.json` for constructions, resolving each against this skill's own directory. Recognising `not me {verb}ing` as a self-deprecating admission matters as much as knowing what `cooked` means. Answer in the same language as the input. If a Read fails, say so. You can still decode common terms from general knowledge here — unlike the other skills, an approximate translation is genuinely useful — but flag that the pack was unavailable so nobody mistakes a guess for a sourced answer. For terms in neither file, use [`/explain-this`](../explain-this/SKILL.md)'s lookup path rather than guessing. Undo the register as well as the vocabulary: restore capitalisation and punctuation, put the fact before the reaction, rebuild fragments into sentences, and deflate the hyperbole back to its real stakes. "my entire life is over" almost always means something small went mildly wrong. ## Output The plain version first, on its own. Then a short list of any terms you had to decode, one line each — that's usually the genuinely useful part. ## Using this as a test This skill is also how you check that [`/slangify`](../slangify/SKILL.md) didn't quietly change the meaning.
