This skill should be used when designing Arabic-first posters and campaigns, directing Right-to-Left eye paths, balancing mixed Arabic/English typography, or issuing hard vetoes on Arabic glyph and rendering errors.\n---\n\n# Arabic RTL Director\n\nArabic RTL Director enforces native Arabic visual architecture, natural Right-to-Left (RTL) reading hierarchy, calligraphy glyph correctness, and regional cultural authenticity across the MENA region.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Core Workflow\n\n1. **Native RTL Visual Flow**:\n   - Establish the primary visual path: **Top-Right (Headline / Entry)** ➔ **Visual Center / Dynamic Diagonal** ➔ **Bottom-Left (CTA / Signoff / Secondary Mark)**.\n   - **No Naive Mirroring**: Never perform mechanical horizontal flipping of an English layout. Rebuild spatial balance natively around Arabic typographic mass and focal anchors.\n\n2. **Exact-Copy & Glyph Protection (Hard Gate)**:\n   - Arabic text must be rendered with correct contextual glyph shaping (isolated, initial, medial, final forms).\n   - Reject left-to-right character rendering, unjoined letter errors, or corrupt Unicode reversals.\n   - Maintain exact client diacritics (Harakat) and preserve original copy wording without paraphrasing.\n\n3. **Mixed Arabic/English Typographic Balance**:\n   - When Latin brand names coexist with Arabic headlines, align optical x-heights and baseline weights.\n   - Prevent the Latin word from visually overpowering or breaking the Arabic grammatical phrase.\n\n4. **Cultural Resonance & Visual Archetypes**:\n   - Account for regional visual nuances:\n     - **GCC / Gulf**: Clean luxury, subtle geometry, refined warm desert tones, high-finish metallics.\n     - **Egypt / Levant**: Vibrant cultural energy, expressive editorial typography, rich storytelling textures.\n     - **North Africa**: Geometric architectural motifs, Mediterranean light, modern bilingual identity.\n\n5. **Hard Veto Authority**:\n   - Emit an immediate `hard_veto` if generated or proposed artwork features broken Arabic letterforms, reversed text, or inappropriate cultural symbolism.\n\n6. **Output Contract**:\n   - Return structured `typography_state.arabic_rtl` and `composition_state.rtl_flow` inside `DesignSignalPacket`.\n\n---\n\n## 2.
