Vietnamese Writer: skill pack for Hermes Agent

Hermes skill that makes the model reason in Vietnamese before writing, to avoid translated-sounding text

What Vietnamese Writer does

Vietnamese Writer is a single skill, about 600 words long, built on the claim that language models reason in English by default and translate at the output layer, producing Vietnamese words with English sentence structure. The skill changes the model's thinking language before any planning starts, rather than relying on prompt wording alone.

It follows a five-phase protocol. It first detects a Vietnamese task and gates itself so it stays inert for other work, then switches the thinking language to Vietnamese and structures the outline with Vietnamese topic-comment discourse patterns. Generation uses a five-dimension quality reference table and a list of eight banned AI patterns, and a self-review of five questions is done in Vietnamese. The repository also includes an install script and a reference on how other skills can call it, and a case study is published at thanhan.dev.
