translate

translate is a skill for Claude Code from ai-driven-dev/framework. It costs 123 tokens per session (1,015 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A build system that converts the framework's standard source content into the native files expected by each supported AI or IDE tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add tool-specific content transformations, change plugin translation, validate plugin manifests, or change the commands that build and synchronise target files.
Why use it?
It avoids maintaining a separate hand-written version of the same framework content for every target tool.

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

translate 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Translate

translate is the core: it turns the canonical, Claude-format framework source into target-native content for every tool at once. It reaches two places and no others: tools, its one outbound context edge, and kernel. Everything it reaches in tools is that context's declared public surface (contracts.ts, registry.ts, build-contract.ts, and the handful of capability and port modules listed as public), never an internal file. The whole graph is in .claude/rules/00-architecture/0-contexts.md.

What goes in

Concept Location
A transform whose behavior differs by target tool domain/formats/
The plugin-files-to-installed-files translator domain/content-translator.ts (PluginContentTranslator)
The canonical framework-doc shape domain/canon.ts
The canonical single-plugin shape domain/plugin-distribution.ts
Build targets and modes domain/build-target.ts
The aidd translate use-case application/translate-source.ts (FrameworkBuildUseCase)
A build orchestrator (one per mode, never per tool) application/strategies/
Schema validation for marketplace/plugin manifests infrastructure/schema-validator.ts

A transform used by exactly one tool profile does not belong here — it lives in that profile's own directory. A transform shared by ≥2 profiles but identical regardless of target lives in contexts/tools/domain/formats/ instead. What belongs in translate/domain/formats/ is a transform that is aware of which target it is producing for.

How

  • PluginContentTranslator takes one plugin's canonical files and one tool's AiTool<C>, and calls the tool's own rewriteContent — it does not reimplement a tool's rewrite logic, it invokes what tools declared. That function is one-way and has no inverse; the tools skill's references/content-rewrite.md says why, and names the trap an identity rewrite sets.
  • FrameworkBuildUseCase (aidd translate) reads a ToolBuildContract per target and mode from tools, and dispatches to MarketplaceBuildStrategy or FlatBuildStrategy — both implement BuildOutputStrategy and iterate the six artifact kinds generically, with zero per-tool or per-kind branching. Adding a build target means the target tool declares a contract in tools; it never means adding a case here. See the tools skill's references/build-contract.md.
  • runtime/wiring/translate.ts derives the "<target>:<mode>" build registry by iterating every registered tool and reading its contract — there is no hand-maintained per-tool row.
  • Follow the use-case and orchestration rules in .claude/rules/00-architecture/ for the application layer's shape, and the shared-module rule there before promoting a helper used by only one strategy into shared-plugin-helpers.ts.

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.

translate is a skill published in the GitHub repository ai-driven-dev/framework (518 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 123 tokens to every session and 1,015 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-09.
