lahja

lahja is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from majdghithan/agent-skills. It costs 307 tokens per session (3,164 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing guide for producing Arabic in a specific spoken dialect rather than formal Arabic or word-for-word translation. It focuses on grammar, spelling habits, common forms, and how technical English fits into the dialect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify a requested dialect and write or rewrite short Arabic text with appropriate negation, tense, question forms, spelling, and register.
Why use it?
Arabic dialects differ in grammar as well as vocabulary, so replacing a few words can still produce text that sounds translated or unnatural.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

lahja scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 25d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check_output.py, scripts/check_skill.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

lahja - write Arabic in a real dialect

Built on the fasih method. lahja follows the approach of fasih by Maher El Gamil: write Arabic that sounds native rather than translated, adapt instead of rendering word for word, never invent a fact or a form, and keep the register consistent. fasih covers Arabic levels and tone and deliberately keeps dialect short; lahja is the dialect-grammar layer under that same method.

AI dialect text fails on grammar, not vocabulary: it swaps أريد for بدي but keeps سوف, لقد, أن + verb, and MSA negation, so it still reads as translated فصحى. This skill fixes the grammar layer. Pick one dialect, load its guide, write through it.

Step 1 - Detect the dialect FIRST (ask at most one question)

In order, stop at the first that answers:

  1. Named in the request: a dialect, country, or city ("فلسطيني", "Egyptian", "for a Kuwaiti audience").
  2. The user's own Arabic is clearly in one dialect -> match it. "Clearly" = at least two markers from one row below and none from another row. Forms shared across dialects don't count, however dialect-y they feel. The verified overlaps:
    Form Shared by
    رح + verb Levantine and Iraqi
    شلون Gulf and Iraqi
    هاي Levantine and Iraqi
    قاعد + verb Gulf, Iraqi, rural Levantine, Egyptian, Tunisian
    شنو Gulf, Iraqi, Moroccan, Tunisian
    أكو / ماكو Iraqi and Kuwaiti
    فين Egyptian, Moroccan, Tunisian
    وين Levantine, Gulf, Iraqi, Algerian, Tunisian
    إيش / آش Levantine, Hejazi, Moroccan, Tunisian
    كمان Levantine and Egyptian
    شو Levantine and Emirati
    ده / دي Egyptian and Sudanese
    دا Iraqi (progressive) and Sudanese (demonstrative)
    أبي / يبي Gulf, Libyan, Yafi'i Yemeni
    ماش / ماشي Yemeni (negator) and Maghrebi (negator or future)
    قداش Maghrebi and Libyan
    غدوة Yemeni and Libyan
    مش، بس، اللي، ما في، كتير، عشان، ليش، اكتبلي most dialects

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
