Both run the same criteria below; translate produces to them, review checks them. ## When this applies - A single term to define ("什麼是 idempotent", "explain eventual consistency") - A chunk of technical text to rewrite for a business audience - A code snippet or error the user wants explained in human terms - Prep for a status update, exec summary, or doc aimed at non-engineers - A finished plain-language draft to review — a colleague's, or your own — against the bar before it reaches the reader - Something in this very conversation the user lost the thread on — an answer just given, or a question just put to them (§When nothing is attached) Sibling skills own the adjacent axes — hand off rather than half-do their job: lowering AI-ish *voice* in prose → `humanizer-zh`; or
