german-technical-writing

Use when writing German-language prose longer than one sentence for Jira tickets, internal German wiki/spec docs, or team-chat to German-speaking colleagues (Slack, Matrix, Teams). Invoke BEFORE composing. Covers anglicism verbs (failt, triggern, returnen), calqued collocations and idioms (blockiert auf, macht Sinn, in 2026), loanword genders (der Commit, die Pipeline), per-artifact register (impersonal for Jira/wiki, ich/du for chat), German typography (Gedankenstrich, Anführungszeichen, Durchkopplung), and AI-typical rhythm (restatement, symmetric paragraphs, summary closers). Skip for commit messages, MR/PR descriptions, release notes (English by team convention), conversational chat replies, or single-line acknowledgments. If you catch yourself thinking 'my German is probably fine here' for anything longer than a sentence — invoke this skill.
