Arabic dialects (لهجة) writing skill - write or rewrite Arabic in a specific spoken dialect with correct dialect GRAMMAR, not just sample words. Covers negation, future and aspect markers, demonstratives, question words, spelling habits, MSA leaks to remove, and how English tech terms sit inside dialect text. Covers Levantine (Palestinian-anchored), Egyptian, Gulf, Iraqi, Maghrebi (Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian), Libyan, Sudanese, and Yemeni. Use when the user asks to write "بالعامية…
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
# lahja - write Arabic in a real dialect
> **Built on the fasih method.** lahja follows the approach of [fasih](https://github.com/maherelgamil/fasih-skill) 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:

How to install
mdr add majdghithan/agent-skills/lahja@sha256:d71268502c1fa473The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.538264f, 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.
