Detects files that appear as garbled text due to legacy encodings (Big5/ANSI) or incorrect BOM usage and converts them to the appropriate UTF-8 variant so source files and text assets display correctly across tools and platforms.
Run the fix-file-encoding skill on the repository by saying /fix-file-encoding path/to/files_or_glob and confirm the listed files when prompted.

Fixing garbled Big5 or ANSI file encodings requires detecting byte markers and applying a Big5 fallback to identify mismatched text assets, then converting them to UTF-8. This process maps target encodings by file extension to ensure source files display correctly across platforms.
To convert PowerShell scripts to UTF-8 with or without BOM, the conversion process maps the .ps1 file extension to a target encoding policy and executes via PowerShell. This applies correct BOM handling so scripts execute without display or parsing issues.
Yes, the encoding conversion works with mixed-language projects containing .cs and .aspx files. It determines target encoding by evaluating the file extension and project framework, ensuring each text asset receives the appropriate UTF-8 variant.
Files like .csv and .cshtml display garbled text due to legacy ANSI encodings or incorrect BOM usage. You resolve this by running heuristic byte-marker checks to detect the source encoding and converting the files to the correct UTF-8 variant.
The best way to bulk convert mixed-encoding files to UTF-8 is to list matching files by path or glob, confirm the set to process, and execute conversions using PowerShell. This approach skips binary files and provides a conversion summary for review.
