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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.01158 | $0.01158 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00579 | $0.00579 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00232 | $0.00232 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00116 | $0.00116 |
Grade A, and why
translate-book AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d 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.
This is a copy
95% identical to translate-book AGENTS.md — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Project
translate-book is a Codex Skill that translates books (PDF/DOCX/EPUB) into any language using parallel subagents. Published on ClawHub as translate-book and on GitHub as trananhtung/translate-book.
Structure
SKILL.md— Skill definition, the orchestration logic that Codex / OpenClaw followsscripts/convert.py— PDF/DOCX/EPUB → Markdown chunks (via Calibre HTMLZ)scripts/manifest.py— SHA-256 chunk tracking and merge validationscripts/glossary.py— Term-consistency glossary; per-chunk term tables injected into sub-agent promptsscripts/chunk_context.py— Read-only previous/next chunk excerpts injected into sub-agent promptsscripts/meta.py— Per-chunk sub-agent observation file schemascripts/merge_meta.py— Batch-boundary merge of sub-agent observations into the canonical glossaryscripts/run_state.py— Selective re-translation planner and run_state.json recorderscripts/merge_and_build.py— Merge translated chunks → HTML/DOCX/EPUB/PDFscripts/calibre_html_publish.py— Calibre format conversion wrapperscripts/template.html,scripts/template_ebook.html— HTML templates
Testing changes
Use a small file for quick checks, or the checked-in baseline book for the repository's full-pipeline test.
Quick smoke test:
python3 scripts/convert.py /path/to/small.pdf --olang zh
# then run translation via the skill
python3 scripts/merge_and_build.py --temp-dir <name>_temp --title "test"
Full baseline test:
mkdir -p tests/.artifacts
cd tests/.artifacts
python3 ../../scripts/convert.py ../baselines/standard-alice/standard-alice.epub --olang zh
# then run translation via the skill
python3 ../../scripts/merge_and_build.py --temp-dir standard-alice_temp --title "test"
Verify: all output_chunk*.md files exist, manifest validation passes, output formats generate.
Conventions
- Only
chunk*.mdnaming — nopage*legacy support - SKILL.md frontmatter must stay single-line per field (OpenClaw parser requirement)
- Script paths in SKILL.md use
{baseDir}not hardcoded paths - Subagent instructions in SKILL.md must be platform-neutral (work on Codex, OpenClaw, Codex)
- Checked-in baseline inputs live under
tests/baselines/<book-id>/; generated full-pipeline outputs live undertests/.artifacts/ - README changes must be synced to both README.md and README.zh-CN.md
- Releases follow
.claude/commands/release.md— three commands in order:git push origin main,git tag vX.Y.Z && git push --tags,npx clawhub@latest publish ./ --version X.Y.Z. Do not skip the git tag; it's the only version anchor in the repo
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.
