Journey fit

Primary fit

The skill’s payoff is proving and scoping a Japan-market version before heavy implementation, even though discovery and build steps are described end-to-end. Localization decisions—what to translate, adapt, or omit for Japan—are validation/scoping work before you treat the repo as a greenfield build.

How it compares

Japan market localization methodology marketplace, not a generic i18n CLI or SEO launch pack.
