Addresses gaps in trans inclusivity coverage across the skill files, focusing on areas identified in EXPANSION_OPPORTUNITIES.md as high priority.

inclusive-software/SKILL.md

  • Fix mislabeled heading: Part 1 was "GENDER IDENTITY" but contained accessibility content → renamed to "ACCESSIBILITY"
  • Name change workflow: Added chosen name / display name separation with backend handling, DB schema, and form component
  • Content moderation: Added trans-specific reporting options (misgendering, deadnaming, outing) and opt-in deadname detection
  • Expanded testing checklist: Pronoun free-text acceptance, neopronoun display, name history visibility, content moderation items

TRANS_INCLUSIVITY_SKILL.md

inclusive-humanizer/SKILL.md

EXPANSION_OPPORTUNITIES.md

  • Marked "Name Change Workflows" and "Content Moderation & Safety" as completed

Key design decision: deadname detection is opt-in only since storing previous names creates its own privacy risk:

function checkForDeadnaming(content, mentionedUser) {
  if (!mentionedUser.deadnameProtectionEnabled || !mentionedUser.previousNames) {
    return false;
  }
  const contentLower = content.toLowerCase();
  return mentionedUser.previousNames.some(
    name => contentLower.includes(name.toLowerCase())
  );
}
