How do I ensure the website is updated after a deletion?

The skill includes a 'Build Flat File' step which runs the necessary Python scripts to sync the entries with the production website data.

What happens to the word after its entry is deleted?

The workflow includes an optional step to re-add the word to a candidate list if the word itself is valid but the specific entry was flawed.

Why shouldn't I just delete the JSON file directly?

Deleting only the file leaves broken cross-references in other entries and results in stale data in the project indexes and the live website files.

Does this skill handle Japanese text encoding correctly?

Yes, it provides specific grep commands and JSON patterns designed to handle Japanese headwords and readings with furigana safely.

Content Management

Manages the safe removal of dictionary entries while maintaining data integrity and cross-reference consistency.

The delete-entry skill provides a standardized protocol for removing records from the je-dict-1 Japanese-English learner's dictionary. It goes beyond simple file deletion by guiding users through a rigorous workflow that includes auditing cross-references, updating relational indexes, and rebuilding flat-file website data. This ensures that deletions—whether due to duplication, errors, or scope changes—do not result in broken links or stale data in the production environment.
