epub-pipeline-Literary-Chinese-to-Simplified-Chinese

What problem does it solve?

This Skill supports end-to-end production of public-domain Literary Chinese to modern Simplified Chinese EPUB editions, replacing ad hoc translation with a controlled workflow that verifies sources, preserves evidence, and keeps the translation aligned with the original text.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Source and rights verification: Confirms the base text, its witness status, and whether the project may proceed in public-domain or private-use mode.
• Parallel-passage EPUB workflow: Produces reader-facing chapters that pair each Literary Chinese passage with its corresponding modern Simplified Chinese translation.
• Textual and annotation control: Tracks punctuation, segmentation, variants, doubtful readings, terminology, and necessary notes so the final EPUB remains readable and defensible.
• Quality gates and review loops: Enforces chapter controls, fidelity review, readability review, terminology checks, random spot-checks, and release validation before publication.
• Use case: A translation team can use this Skill to turn a classical Chinese book into a reviewed EPUB while keeping source evidence, annotations, and release artifacts organized.
