skills/data/inline-word-links/SKILL.mdInline Word Links
This skill covers how to add cross-reference links within example sentences and notes. These links allow users to click on any word in an example to navigate to its dictionary entry.
Link Format
The link format uses special Unicode delimiters:
⟦{surface|reading}→baseform:entry_id⟧
Components:
(U+27E6) - Opening bracket⟦
- The word as it appears in the sentence (may include furigana notation)surface
(U+2192) - Arrow separator→
- The dictionary form of the word (for tooltip display)baseform
(U+FF1A) - Fullwidth colon separator:
- The dictionary entry ID (e.g.,entry_id
)00111_hon
(U+27E7) - Closing bracket⟧
CRITICAL: Semantic Verification
Links MUST be verified semantically, not programmatically.
Before adding any link, you MUST:
- Understand the word's role in the sentence
- Confirm the correct meaning - many words are homographs with different entries
- Identify correct word boundaries - particles attach to words differently
- Match to the correct entry - verify the gloss matches the intended meaning
Common Semantic Errors to Avoid
| Error Type | Example | Problem |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong homograph | の → 野 (field) | の in most contexts is the particle, not the noun 野 |
| Wrong word boundary | ものです → もの + です | May need to link as a single grammatical pattern |
| Conjugated form mismatch | 食べました → 食べる | Correct, but verify the verb is the intended one |
| Compound splitting | 日本語 → 日本 + 語 | Should link as single compound if entry exists |
Verification Process
For each word you intend to link:
- Read the full sentence to understand context
- Identify the word's grammatical function
- Look up the entry ID (use reference table below for common words)
- Verify the entry's gloss matches the word's meaning in context
- Only then add the link markup
Link Guidelines
DO Link:
- Content words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs)
- Particles when they have dedicated entries
- Words that appear in the dictionary
DO NOT Link:
- The headword of the entry in its own examples (no self-reference)
- Punctuation marks (。、?!「」)
- Words not in the dictionary - use
insteadnoentry - Names unless they have entries
Using noentry
noentryFor words without dictionary entries:
⟦{矍鑠|かくしゃく}→矍鑠:noentry⟧
This preserves the markup for future linking but renders as plain text.
Examples
Basic Example
Original:
"japanese": "{本|ほん}を{読|よ}む。"
With links:
"japanese": "⟦{本|ほん}→本:00111_hon⟧⟦を→を:00422_wo⟧⟦{読|よ}む→読む:00426_yomu⟧。"
Example with Particles
Original:
"japanese": "{私|わたし}は{日本語|にほんご}が{分|わ}かります。"
With links:
"japanese": "⟦{私|わたし}→私:02988_watashi⟧⟦は→は:00079_ha⟧⟦{日本語|にほんご}→日本語:00614_nihongo⟧⟦が→が:00051_ga⟧⟦{分|わ}かります→分かる:00463_wakaru⟧。"
Example with Conjugation
Original:
"japanese": "{彼|かれ}は{来|き}ませんでした。"
With links (note: conjugated forms link to dictionary form):
"japanese": "⟦{彼|かれ}→彼:01292_kare⟧⟦は→は:00079_ha⟧⟦{来|き}ませんでした→来る:00254_kuru⟧。"

Workflow for Adding Links
- Read the sentence - Understand the full meaning
- Identify each word - Note word boundaries carefully
- Look up entry IDs - Use reference table or search dictionary
- Verify semantically - Confirm each link matches intended meaning
- Add markup - Apply the link format carefully
- Validate immediately - Run validation to catch ID errors early:
python3 build/validate.py 2>&1 | grep -A5 "Word link" - Review - Read through the linked sentence to verify
Tracking noentry
Words
noentryWhen you mark a word with
noentry, consider tracking it for potential future entry creation. In your session log, include:
### Words marked noentry (candidates for future entries) - ランナー (runner) - セーフ (safe - sports) - 丁目 (district number)
This helps identify gaps in the dictionary that may need filling.
Quality Checklist
Before finalizing links:
- Every link has been semantically verified
- No self-references (headword linking to itself)
- Punctuation is not linked
- Conjugated forms link to dictionary forms
- All entry IDs are valid
- Furigana is preserved correctly within links
- No spacing artifacts between links
