+## 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.

+# Changelog — skrebe-translator-workflow
+
+All notable changes to this preset will be documented in this file. Format loosely follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/). Bump the version in `manifest.json` according to [semver](https://semver.org/):
+
+- **Patch** (1.0.0 → 1.0.1) — typo fixes, note clarifications
+- **Minor** (1.0.0 → 1.1.0) — new entries added, no breaking changes
+- **Major** (1.0.0 → 2.0.0) — terms removed or preferred translation changed (breaks downstream approvals)
+
+---
+
+## [0.1.0] — 2026-05-19
+
+### Added
+
+- Initial draft of the catalog's seed preset (20 entries, Santiago dialect).
+- 4 `must` entries codifying non-negotiable rules: the four-way "and" conjunction (`ku` / `y` / `i` / never-`e`), `but` → `ma`, `ALUPEC` (verbatim), `Kriolu` (with `Kabuverdianu` as accepted alternative).
+- 13 `should` entries covering editor verbs (open, save, read, write, close, translate, help), workflow nouns (document, word, sentence, project, translation), and the second-person pronoun with register distinctions (`bo` / `nhu` / `nha`).
+- 3 `avoid` entries mirroring the existing Skrebe linter calque rules: `because` → `porque`/`porkê` (ALUPEC_CALQUE_PORQUE), `not` → `não`/`nao` (ALUPEC_CALQUE_NAO), `more` → `más` (ALUPEC_CALQUE_MAS).
+
+### Known limitations
+
+- Four entries (`translation`, `translate`, `close`, `save`) are bootstrap calques constructed via Portuguese-to-ALUPEC mappings rather than directly attested in a published Kriolu source. They are flagged for community review in the README and will be revisited before `1.0.0`.
+- No `nameKriolu` field in the manifest yet — pending a community-reviewed translation of "Skrebe Translator Workflow".

+# Skrebe Translator Workflow
+
+The catalog's seed preset — a small, dense vocabulary covering the words a Skrebe user actually encounters while translating English Markdown into Cape Verdean Kriolu. Twenty entries, Santiago dialect, MIT-licensed.
+
+This preset exists for two reasons:
+
+1. **Marketplace seed.** The `papia-presets` catalog needs to ship with at least one credible preset so that Skrebe's marketplace UI has something to render. This is that preset.
+2. **Pedagogical anchor.** Several entries codify rules the Skrebe ALUPEC linter already enforces — the four-way "and" trap (`ku` / `y` / `i` / never `e`), the `mas` / `ma` / `más` distinction, the forbidden Portuguese calques (`porque`, `não`, `más`). Installing this preset makes the linter's vocabulary visible to translators inside the glossary panel.
+
+## Audience
+
+Anyone using Skrebe to translate English-source Markdown into Kriolu. The vocabulary is intentionally narrow:
+
+- **Editor verbs**: open, save, read, write, close, translate, help
+- **Workflow nouns**: document, word, sentence, project, translation
+- **Function words**: the "and" conjunction family, "but", "you" (with register distinctions)
+- **Calque traps**: forbidden Portuguese forms of "because", "not", "more"
+- **Proper nouns**: ALUPEC, Kriolu
+
+It is **not** a general English-Kriolu dictionary. Pair it with a domain preset (health, education, civic-government) when you need vocabulary for a specific field.
+
+## Dialect notes
+
+All entries reflect Santiago (Badiu) usage. Where alternative dialect forms exist (e.g. São Vicente `salva` vs. Santiago `guarda` for "save"), they are mentioned in the entry's `notes` field but not encoded as separate targets — that's for a future multi-dialect preset.
+
+## Pedagogical highlights
+
+- **Entry "and"** — the catalog's most-cited rule, with `ku` / `y` / `i` as the three valid choices and a notes-field warning that `e` (the copula "is") must never be used as "and". This is the single most common Portuguese-interference bug in Kriolu writing. See [ADR-0013](https://github.com/deznode/papia-studio/blob/main/docs/adr/0013-alupec-and-conjunction-design.md).
+- **Entry "you"** — exercises the `register` field with `bo` (neutral), `nhu` (formal, masculine), `nha` (formal, feminine).
+- **The three "avoid" entries** (`because`, `not`, `more`) mirror exactly the three calque rules the Skrebe linter already enforces: `ALUPEC_CALQUE_PORQUE`, `ALUPEC_CALQUE_NAO`, `ALUPEC_CALQUE_MAS`. Installing this preset puts those rules into the glossary panel where translators see them at lookup time, not only at lint time.
+
+## Bootstrap-curated entries (flagged for community review)
+
+This being the catalog's first preset, several computing-domain terms are **constructed from Portuguese-to-ALUPEC mappings** rather than attested in a published Kriolu source. They are listed below; pull requests refining them with native-speaker input are welcome.
+
+| Entry | Proposed target | Why it's flagged |
+|---|---|---|
+| `translation` → `tradusan` | Mechanical mapping (PT *tradução* → ALUPEC `ç→s`, `ão→an`) | No published attestation; `tradusu` / `tradusion` are plausible alternatives |
+| `translate` → `traduzi` | Regular `-i` verb pattern | Not in Peace Corps dictionary; pattern is regular but the specific lemma isn't attested |
+| `close` → `fitxa` | Extended from "lock" sense | Peace Corps lists `fitxa` primarily as "lock"; the document-close sense is an extrapolation |
+| `save` → `guarda` | Extended from "protect/keep" sense | Computing/UI extension of a general verb; the alternative `salva` exists |
+
+A maintainer will ask a native Kriolu speaker to review these before tagging `1.0.0`.
