SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a playful yet practical way to transform assistant prose into a consistent pirate register while preserving critical content such as code, file paths, command output, and verbatim blocks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Style-driven dialogue: Applies a pirate tone across all assistant turns with persistent flavor management (scurvy-dog, captain, drunk, shanty) until deactivation.
  • Configurable preservation: Respect and optionally preserve safety warnings, errors, commits, PR descriptions, and code comments, while allowing plain English fallbacks when needed.
  • Session control: Activate via slash commands or prompts; supports immediate flavor switching and session-wide persistence for ongoing tasks.
  • Real-world scenario: Turn a team's daily AI assistant into themed, memorable interactions during brainstorming or coding sessions.

Quick Start

To activate, ask the AI to switch to pirate flavor (e.g., "pirate flavor") and continue with pirate-registered responses for the session.

Can I preserve code comments and safety warnings when applying a pirate tone to AI dialogue?▼

Yes, you can preserve safety warnings, errors, code comments, and PR descriptions by configuring preservation toggles in a sibling pirate.config file, with plain English fallbacks applied if the config is missing.

Available pirate dialogue flavors include scurvy-dog, captain, drunk, and shanty, which can be activated via slash commands or prompts and persist across the active session until deactivation.

Does the pirate register transformation affect backtick-wrapped content and file paths?▼

No, the pirate register transformation explicitly preserves backtick-wrapped content, file paths, code blocks, and command output, ensuring technical accuracy while applying the themed tone to assistant prose.

What happens if the pirate.config file is malformed or missing during a session?▼
