# MPI Project Conventions
|
||
|
||
## Agent Instructions
|
||
|
||
You are working on the Mindful Peace International Chinese-English Buddhist/Dharma translation project.
|
||
- Before translating, load the `mpi-translation` and `mpi-terms-search` skills.
|
||
- Before reviewing, load `mpi-translation-review` (self mode for your own translations, other mode for peer review).
|
||
- The agent IS the model: do not call external translation APIs.
|
||
- The workflow is not as rigid as the state machine below. The user may ask you to deviate from it. Be flexible when asked.
|
||
|
||
## Skills
|
||
|
||
Skills in `toolkit/skills/`.
|
||
|
||
Available: `mpi-translation`, `mpi-terms-search`, `mpi-translation-review`, `mpi-chinese-text-normalize`, `mpi-pptx-translate`, `mpi-pdf-to-docx-conversion`.
|
||
|
||
## Terms Database
|
||
|
||
See `mpi-terms-search` skill. Quick reference:
|
||
- CLI: `toolkit/terms-database/search.py <query> [limit]`
|
||
- Module: `from search import search; search("空性", limit=5, src="DoT定稿")`
|
||
- Priority: DoT定稿 > 内部特色词 > 佛教术语 > 经论名
|
||
|
||
## Directory Structure
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
translate-files/<topic>/<article>/
|
||
source.dj — Chinese original
|
||
target.dj — English translation (line count matches source)
|
||
bilingual.dj — interleaved (source line, blank, target line, blank)
|
||
Generated by `../../toolkit/scripts/gen-bilingual.py source.dj target.dj`;
|
||
do not edit or commit.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Put `.docx` output in `/tmp/`. Don't commit binaries.
|
||
Generated files (`bilingual.dj`) are not committed either.
|
||

|
||
## Translation State Machine
|
||
|
||
Non-deterministic LLM work happens at the states; transitions are fixed.
|
||
|
||
| Current state | Event / condition | Next state | Notes |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| `*start*` | source loaded | `idle` | Begin from a new source. |
|
||
| `*start*` | bilingual loaded | `idle` | Begin from an existing review file. |
|
||
| `idle` | `SOURCE_LOADED` | `translating` | |
|
||
| `idle` | `BILINGUAL_LOADED` | `other_reviewing` | |
|
||
| `translating` | `TRANSLATION_DRAFTED` | `bilingual_ready` | |
|
||
| `bilingual_ready` | `BILINGUAL_GENERATED` | `self_reviewing` | |
|
||
| `self_reviewing` | `SELF_REJECTED` | `translating` | |
|
||
| `self_reviewing` | `SELF_APPROVED` and peer review required | `other_reviewing` | `peer_review_required` flag decides the branch. |
|
||
| `self_reviewing` | `SELF_APPROVED` and no peer review | `approved` | |
|
||
| `other_reviewing` | `PEER_REJECTED` | `translating` | |
|
||
| `other_reviewing` | `PEER_APPROVED` | `approved` | |
|
||
| `approved` | `TYPESET_REQUESTED` | `typesetting` | Optional. |
|
||
| `approved` | `COMPLETE` | `done` | |
|
||
| `typesetting` | `TYPESET_COMPLETE` | `done` | |
|
||
|
||
States:
|
||
|
||
: `idle` — Waiting for source or an existing bilingual file.
|
||
: `translating` — Draft `target.dj`.
|
||
: `bilingual_ready` — `bilingual.dj` generated from `source.dj` + `target.dj`.
|
||
: `self_reviewing` — Self-review with `mpi-translation-review` (self mode); edit `target.dj`.
|
||
: `other_reviewing` — Peer review with `mpi-translation-review` (other mode); write `review-comments.dj`.
|
||
: `approved` — Translation accepted; may typeset or finish.
|
||
: `typesetting` — Produce PDF/DOCX.
|
||
: `done` — Complete.
|
||
|
||
## Workflow A: Translation（翻译）
|
||
|
||
Translate Chinese source into English. The agent IS the model — no external APIs. This workflow covers the state machine path `idle` → `translating` → `bilingual_ready` → `self_reviewing`.
|
||
|
||
### Source context
|
||
|
||
Before translating, the agent must understand the source's format and delivery context. If the source is a transcript of an oral talk, a book excerpt, a guided meditation script, a Q&A, a written article, or any other genre, that register shapes the translation. If this context is not clear from the file path or source content, ask the user before proceeding.
|
||
|
||
### Input
|
||
|
||
Source text in `.dj` or `.docx` (Chinese only).
|
||
|
||
### Deliverables
|
||
|
||
- `source.dj` — extracted/cleaned Chinese
|
||
- `target.dj` — English translation, line count matches source
|
||
- `bilingual.dj` — interleaved (source line, target line adjacent, blank between pairs).
|
||
Generated by `../../toolkit/scripts/gen-bilingual.py source.dj target.dj > bilingual.dj`.
|
||
Do not create or edit by hand; do not commit.
|
||
- `edit-suggestions.dj` — terminology/consistency issues flagged for review
|
||
|
||
### Rules
|
||
|
||
1. Load `mpi-translation` and `mpi-terms-search` skills before starting.
|
||
2. Search terms DB for key Buddhist terms.
|
||
3. TOC: plain bullet lists, no link targets, no page numbers.
|
||
4. Djot formatting:
|
||
- Emphasis: `*text*` (single asterisks). Never `**` (Markdown bold).
|
||
- Comments: `{% ... %}`
|
||
5. Preserve source formatting — don't add/remove emphasis.
|
||
6. Translate in-response — never call external translation APIs.
|
||
|
||
### Review
|
||
|
||
After translating, load `mpi-translation-review` (self mode) to check:
|
||
- Full detection rules (three passes + R1–R14 editorial polish)
|
||
- Terminology consistency against terms DB
|
||
- Grammar, fluency, calques
|
||
- Missing content (mid-paragraph truncation)
|
||
- Inconsistency (same term translated differently)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Workflow B: Proofread / Review（校对/审阅）
|
||
|
||
Both self-mode and other-mode review use the unified `mpi-translation-review` skill.
|
||
The **same detection rules** apply to both. The only difference: self mode edits
|
||
`target.dj` directly; other mode writes `review-comments.dj` with collaborative tone.
|
||
|
||
A third mode — **Direct Edit Review** — applies when the user explicitly says to
|
||
edit the `.dj` files directly and skip any comments file.
|
||
|
||
### B1: Self-Review（自审）
|
||
|
||
You translated it. You own the English. Load `mpi-translation-review` skill (self mode).
|
||
|
||
1. Read `source.dj` + `target.dj` fully.
|
||
2. Apply all detection rules (three passes + R1–R14 editorial polish).
|
||
3. Edit `target.dj` directly with `patch` (mode='replace').
|
||
4. Record non-obvious choices in `translation-findings.dj` if needed.
|
||
5. Regenerate `bilingual.dj` with `../../toolkit/scripts/gen-bilingual.py source.dj target.dj > bilingual.dj`.
|
||
6. Verify line counts: `source.dj` and `target.dj` must match.
|
||
|
||
### B2: Other-Review（审他稿）
|
||
|
||
Someone else translated it (volunteer, etc.). Load `mpi-translation-review` skill (other mode).
|
||
|
||
1. Read `source.dj` + `target.dj` fully.
|
||
2. Apply all detection rules (three passes + R1–R14 editorial polish).
|
||
3. Do NOT edit `target.dj` — write `review-comments.dj` instead.
|
||
4. Follow deliberation protocol: 随喜 first, questions not commands.
|
||
5. Address translator by name.
|
||
6. Ask the user whether to apply the findings. If yes, switch to Direct Edit Mode.
|
||
|
||
### B3: Direct Edit Review（直接修改稿）
|
||
|
||
The user wants fixes applied directly, no separate comments file. This can follow
|
||
a translation-review pass, or be a standalone polish pass.
|
||
|
||
1. Read full `target.dj` + `source.dj` in one pass.
|
||
2. Collect every issue using the full detection rules.
|
||
3. Batch all fixes into one set of exact-string replacements. Apply with `patch`.
|
||
4. Regenerate `bilingual.dj` with `../../toolkit/scripts/gen-bilingual.py source.dj target.dj > bilingual.dj`.
|
||
5. Verify line counts match.
|
||
|
||
Avoid iterative "find a few more, edit again" loops. If the user asks "anything
|
||
else?" after a direct-edit pass, do one more full systematic read and batch again.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Djot
|
||
|
||
- Comments: `{% ... %}`
|
||
- Emphasis: `*text*` (single asterisks)
|
||
- Dashes in English: `---` em, `--` en. Pandoc converts in docx output.
|
||
- Preserve source formatting — don't add/remove emphasis
|
||
|
||
When editing `.dj` files, use `patch` (mode='replace') — not regex-based
|
||
string replacement in `execute_code`. `patch` is safer, surfaces conflicts,
|
||
and produces a diff you can review.
|
||
|
||
## Typst Bilingual Template
|
||
|
||
For producing PDFs from bilingual Chinese-English articles:
|
||
|
||
- Template: `translate-files/lib/mpi-bilingual-template.typ`
|
||
- Example host: `translate-files/从物品整理到心灵整理/mindful-organizing.typ`
|
||
- Design notes: `references/typst-template-design.md`
|
||
- Produce rendered PDF files in: /tmp/
|
||
|
||
## Scripts
|
||
|
||
Utility scripts in `toolkit/scripts/` (fish for CLI wrappers, Python for data processing).
|
||
Agents should write repetitive logic here and run via `terminal` rather than
|
||
regenerating the same Python in execute_code each turn.
|
||
|
||
- `toolkit/scripts/docx2dj.fish <docx>` — pandoc .docx → .dj alongside the original
|
||
- `toolkit/scripts/split-bilingual.fish <combined.dj>` — split into source.dj (CN) + target.dj (EN)
|
||
- `toolkit/scripts/dj2docx.fish <target.dj>` — pandoc .dj → .docx in `/tmp/`
|
||
- `toolkit/scripts/proofread-pdf.py <docx> <pdf>` — word-level diff between manuscript and typeset PDF
|
||
- `toolkit/scripts/gen-bilingual.py <source.dj> <target.dj>` — produce `bilingual.dj` on stdout; run as `gen-bilingual.py source.dj target.dj > bilingual.dj`
|
||
- `toolkit/scripts/gen-bilingual-<name>-<hash>.py` — article-specific extraction from DOCX or source/target pairing
|
||
- `toolkit/scripts/compile-typst.fish <typ>` — compile a Typst file to PDF
|
||
|
||
Article-specific scripts (including Typst compile helpers) should be placed in
|
||
the article directory itself, named with a short hash: e.g.
|
||
`translate-files/<article>/compile-typst-<hash>.fish`.
