Guidelines and QC tooling for adding Arabic subtitles or captions to video - Arabic-to-Arabic captions (transcription, SDH) and translated subtitles (English or other language into Modern Standard Arabic).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Arabic subtitling and captioning guidelines Rules and workflow for producing Arabic subtitles that read like professional work. The baseline standard is the Netflix Timed Text Style Guide (TTSG) for Arabic (incorporating the December 2025 updates).

How to install
mdr add engdawood/awesome-arabic-claude-skills/arabic-subtitling-guidelines@sha256:f45f33dbcdad2834The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.fa22164, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
