Project instructions for a corporate-language translator that explains workplace euphemisms and can turn direct feedback into workplace-style wording. They also define its tests and Claude Code integration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to test the translator, decode HR messages, meeting notes, performance-plan emails, or startup and IPO claims, or rewrite direct employee feedback in corporate language.
Why use it?
They provide the commands and operating rules needed to run the translator consistently and distinguish between decoding corporate language and rewriting blunt statements.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

corporate-jargon-translator CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories โ€” prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency โ€” measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Corporate Jargon Translator - Repository Guidelines for Claude Code

This repository contains the Corporate Jargon Translator skill, designed to decode corporate speak, HR euphemisms, executive deflection, and startup equity hype into plain truth, as well as encode blunt employee feedback into HR-safe corporate speak.


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Commands & Tests

  • Run CLI Translator Test Suite:
    python3 .agents/skills/corporate-jargon-translator/scripts/translate.py --test
    
  • Decode Custom Text String via CLI:
    python3 .agents/skills/corporate-jargon-translator/scripts/translate.py --decode "Your text here"
    
  • Encode Blunt Thought into Corporate Speak via CLI:

๐Ÿค– Claude Code Rules & Skill Integration

Claude Code automatically loads instructions from .claude/rules/corporate-jargon-translator.md.

Standard Execution Modes

  1. Decode Mode: Decodes HR speak, meeting transcripts, PIP emails, and IPO hype โ€” inline ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Translator commentary first, then a structured Markdown table with risk levels (๐ŸŸข Low, ๐ŸŸก Medium, ๐ŸŸ  High, ๐Ÿ”ด Critical), then tactical advice.
  2. Encode Mode: Rewrites unfiltered thoughts into executive-ready corporate speak.
  3. Character Commentary Mode (Lala Company Edition): Provides comedic panel reactions featuring The Enlightened Founder, Lala Ji (self-proclaimed CEO โ€” a different person from the Founder), Sycophant Senior, Tired Dev Dave, Naive Joiner, and Unfiltered Translator. Directly invocable via the /lala-panel skill.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
