It was only when native English speakers—or those I presumed were—started calling out how bad "GPT/Claude speak" has become that I realized I wasn't actually losing my grip on English as a second language. For a second, I thought, Oh, I learned this language on my own, but it seems I've hit a wall and need to study further. It didn't help that I've also been trying to acquire Swedish as a third language for a while now.
LLMs speak every language. I wonder if they're as insane in the other ones!
My experience with opus 5 is that its results are lower quality in dutch, but that its dutch is more readable than its english.
One thing that I find is that it doesn't seem to grasp levels of jargon-use. Like I ask a basic question, okay, a few questions later, suddenly there's abbreviations and weird formulations everywhere.
I literally created a /plain-language skill.
in which one!
They are generally portable.
Eg. /wait-what https://github.com/mattpocock/skills/blob/main/skills/produc...
Not the original commenter, but I did this in all of them.
Their skills formats are basically identical, so I setup simlinks from their own skills directories into a shared one so Claude, Codex, Cursor, and anything else that comes out will all read and write to the same shared skills.
It's great having access to the same skills no matter the harness being used
