The user invoked the redpen-setup skill. Follow these steps EXACTLY. Do not explore the codebase, do not run other commands, do not summarise.

Note on model: the runner automatically tries gpt-5.6-luna in Fast

mode, then gpt-5.6-terra in Fast mode, and finally gpt-5.4-mini in

Standard mode. The setup skill therefore does NOT ask about model.

Step 1 — Read current config

Read ~/.codex/redpen.config. Parse:

• LANGUAGE=<...> (default: english)
• SHOW_HINT=<on|off> (default: on)

Remember as CURRENT_LANGUAGE and CURRENT_SHOW_HINT.

Missing-config case: if the file does not exist yet, treat both as unset (no ✓ markers in Step 2). The defaults above only apply if the user picks an out-of-range answer in Step 3.

Step 2 — Ask the user (two questions, one at a time)

Ask Question 1 and wait for the user's reply. Only after they reply, ask Question 2. Do NOT batch the two questions into one turn — the user needs to see and answer each one independently.

Current-selection marker: append ✓ to the option whose value matches the user's current config (so they see what they're on). The ✓ is independent of (Recommended); both can appear together. When matching the answer in Step 3, accept EITHER the number OR the label, and ignore any trailing ✓.

Question 1 — language

Reply with the number or the name. Which language do you want the redpen plugin to coach you on?

1. English
2. 中文 (Chinese)
3. Español (Spanish)
4. 日本語 (Japanese)

Question 2 — native style line

Reply with the number or the name. Show a second "native style" line with a more idiomatic rephrasing under each rewrite?

1. On (Recommended) — show the divider + native-style rephrasing.
2. Off — only show the scored rewrite line.

Step 3 — Map answers to config values

Language (accept number OR name, case-insensitive, ignore trailing ✓):

• 1 or English → english
• 2 or 中文 / Chinese / 中文 (Chinese) → chinese
• 3 or Español / Spanish / Español (Spanish) → spanish
• 4 or 日本語 / Japanese / 日本語 (Japanese) → japanese
• Anything else → english

Native hint (accept number OR name, case-insensitive):

• 1 or On → on
• 2 or Off → off
• Anything else → on

Step 4 — Write the new config

Use the Write tool to overwrite ~/.codex/redpen.config with EXACTLY this content (substitute the chosen values):

# redpen config — shared by the ChatGPT desktop launcher and Codex hook.
#
# Supported LANGUAGE values:
#   english | chinese | spanish | japanese
#   aliases: en | zh, cn, 中文 | es, español, espanol | ja, jp, 日本語
LANGUAGE=<new language>
#
# SHOW_HINT: whether to show a second "native style" line under each rewrite
# with a more idiomatic, colloquial rephrasing. on (default) | off.
SHOW_HINT=<new show_hint>
#
# NOTE: The runner automatically falls back through:
# gpt-5.6-luna Fast -> gpt-5.6-terra Fast -> gpt-5.4-mini Standard.

Step 5 — Confirm

Reply with ONE short line summarising what changed. Examples:

• Both changed: ✓ Switched to 中文 with native-style hints off.
• Only language: ✓ Language set to English (hints unchanged: on).
• Only hint: ✓ Native-style hints off (language unchanged: English).
• Nothing changed: Already on English + hints on — no change.

New setting takes effect on your next prompt. No further explanation.
