papia-presets

Community-curated glossary presets for Skrebe, the Markdown translation editor for Cabo Verde Kriolu (ALUPEC).

Each preset is a small, focused vocabulary for a specific domain — health, education, civic services, technology, religion, and so on. Skrebe users browse this catalog inside the app, install the ones they need, and get domain-appropriate term suggestions and consistency checks while they translate.

Browse the catalog

Open the Marketplace in Skrebe. The list you see comes from this repo's index.json, regenerated automatically every time a preset is added or updated.

Contribute a preset

You don't need to be a developer. If you can edit a spreadsheet and run two commands in a terminal, you can contribute. Full step-by-step guide: CONTRIBUTING.md.

The short version:

1. Fork this repo.
2. Run pnpm install once.
3. Run pnpm new-preset <id> to scaffold a new preset folder.
4. Fill in glossary.json (or export one from Skrebe and drop it in).
5. Run pnpm validate <id> until it passes.
6. Open a pull request.

A maintainer reviews. CI checks orthography and structure. Once merged, your preset appears in Skrebe within minutes.

Local smoke testing against Skrebe

scripts/build-index.ts hardcodes the per-preset manifestUrl and glossaryUrl in index.json to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deznode/papia-presets/main/.... That means pointing Skrebe at a locally-served index.json still sends it to GitHub for the manifest and glossary — which defeats the point of testing unmerged changes.

Current workaround:

1. npx http-server . -p 8765 --cors -c-1 -s
2. Copy index.json to tmp-local-index.json and hand-rewrite the GitHub raw URLs to http://localhost:8765/.... (tmp-local-index.json is gitignored.)
3. In Skrebe → Settings → Advanced, set the custom catalog URL to http://localhost:8765/tmp-local-index.json.

TODO: --base-url flag for build-index

Replace the manual tmp-local-index.json step with pnpm build-index --base-url http://localhost:8765, which writes the same index.json but with every URL rooted at the given base. Five-line change in scripts/build-index.ts:22. Worth doing the next time someone smoke-tests the install flow or a second preset author needs a local dev loop.

Governance

This catalog is part of the Papia Studio project. Maintainers triage PRs, mediate disputes about terminology, and decide which presets get the "Recommended" flag in Skrebe's marketplace.

Disagree with a curation choice? You can fork the catalog and host an alternative. Skrebe lets users add custom catalog URLs in settings — pluralism is built into the system.

Questions

• Found a wrong term? Open an issue on the preset, or send a PR with the fix.
• Want a new domain that doesn't exist yet? Open a preset request — someone may volunteer to author it.
• Building tooling on top of this catalog? The schemas in schema/ are stable contracts. Pin schemaVersion: 1 and you're safe.
