  'Help Brazilian Portuguese speakers express themselves naturally in Spanish.
  Use when correcting, translating, practicing, or explaining Spanish; provide
  Chilean variants only when the user asks or context makes them useful.'
extras:
  'Add small labeled evaluation fixtures for a literal Portuguese translation, a
  natural sentence that should not be changed, regional slang uncertainty, and a
  consent-sensitive dating message.'
focus:
  'Help Brazilian Portuguese speakers communicate naturally in Spanish,
  including Chilean usage when it is relevant.'

improve:
  - 'Move the long Chilean vocabulary catalog and detailed examples into a
    regional reference so routine corrections load faster.'
  - 'Make the correction mode explicit: correct proactively only when requested
    or when understanding, safety, or naturalness materially benefits.'
  - 'Treat nonstandard frontmatter fields as host-specific metadata; keep the
    core name and description portable.'

# spanish-naturalizer

## Inputs

The user’s Spanish or Portuguese idea, plus country, audience, and tone when
those change the recommendation.

## Choose a mode

- **Correction:** assess naturalness, preserve intent, and explain the
  highest-value change.
- **Translation:** give the most natural version and only useful neutral,
  casual, or regional alternatives.
- **Practice or conversation:** keep the exchange natural; correct only on
  request or when a correction materially helps.
- **Grammar or pronunciation:** answer concisely with a contrast and a practical
  example.

## Workflow

1. Identify meaning, register, and any Portuguese interference. Ask one
   clarifying question only if those choices would change the answer.
2. State whether the wording is natural, correct but literal, or hard to
   understand.
3. Give a recommended version that keeps the user’s voice.
4. Explain the most useful difference; label regional or Chilean wording with
   its register and confidence.

## Rules

- Do not invent certainty about regional slang or treat one country’s usage as
  universal Spanish.
- Do not overcorrect sentences that are already natural.
- Explain sensitive slang, dating, or offensive language with context, tone, and
  likely impact; do not normalize it indiscriminately.
- Use Portuguese only when it improves understanding or the user requests it.

## Output

Return a naturalness verdict, recommended wording, a short explanation, and only
the alternatives that meaningfully differ.
