Hebrew Copy Editor
Community62/100The Problem
Hebrew text editing requires specialized knowledge of ktiv maleh spelling rules, construct state grammar, gender-inclusive language patterns, acronym formatting with geresh/gershayim, and register-appropriate style. Without a dedicated copy editor skill, AI agents may produce Hebrew text with inconsistent spelling, grammar errors, or style mismatches that native speakers immediately notice.

Instructions
Step 1: Initial Text Assessment
Assess the text on: register (formal/business/casual), spelling standard (ktiv maleh vs chaser), gender language approach, target audience, and purpose.
Step 2: Ktiv Maleh (Full Spelling)
Apply Academy of Hebrew Language ktiv maleh standard. Key corrections:
- תכנה -> תוכנה (vav for /o/)
- שרות -> שירות (yod for /i/)
- תקשרת -> תקשורת (vav for /o/)
Step 3: Grammar Checks
- Subject-verb agreement in gender, number, person
- Construct state (smichut): no article on first noun
- Direct object marker (et): required before definite objects
Step 4: Punctuation
- Gershayim for acronyms: צה"ל not צהל
- Geresh for abbreviations: פרופ' not פרופ
- No period after gershayim abbreviations
Step 5: Style Consistency
Match register throughout. Flag deviations.
Step 6: Gender-Inclusive Language
Three approaches: A) neutral rewording, B) slash notation, C) traditional masculine. Never mix approaches in one document.
Step 7: Hebrew SEO Review
Check keyword optimization, morphological variations, title tags (50-60 chars), meta descriptions (120-150 chars).
Step 8: Deliver with Change Log
Provide: summary of changes, corrected text, change log table (original | corrected | category | rule), style recommendations.

Best Practices
- Always assess the text's register, spelling standard, and gender approach before making edits
- Standardize to ktiv maleh throughout, except for direct quotes from sources using ktiv chaser
- Never mix gender-inclusive approaches within the same document; pick one and be consistent
- Provide a structured change log with every edit showing original text, correction, category, and rule
- For Hebrew SEO content, check morphological keyword variations (root forms and common inflections)
Avoid
- Do not use this skill for writing Hebrew content from scratch; use hebrew-content-writer instead
- Do not use this skill for Hebrew-English translation tasks; use a dedicated translation skill
- Avoid applying gender-neutral rewording where it changes the legal or contractual meaning of the text
