Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00027 | $0.00797 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00398 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00159 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00080 |
Grade A, and why
i18n-localization 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 9d 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
86% identical to i18n-localization — 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.

i18n & Localization
Internationalization (i18n) and Localization (L10n) best practices.
1. Core Concepts
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| i18n | Internationalization - making app translatable |
| L10n | Localization - actual translations |
| Locale | Language + Region (en-US, tr-TR) |
| RTL | Right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew) |
2. When to Use i18n
| Project Type | i18n Needed? |
|---|---|
| Public web app | ✅ Yes |
| SaaS product | ✅ Yes |
| Internal tool | ⚠️ Maybe |
| Single-region app | ⚠️ Consider future |
| Personal project | ❌ Optional |
3. Implementation Patterns
React (react-i18next)
import { useTranslation } from 'react-i18next';
function Welcome() {
const { t } = useTranslation();
return <h1>{t('welcome.title')}</h1>;
}
Next.js (next-intl)
import { useTranslations } from 'next-intl';
export default function Page() {
const t = useTranslations('Home');
return <h1>{t('title')}</h1>;
}
Python (gettext)
from gettext import gettext as _
print(_("Welcome to our app"))

└── ...
5. Best Practices
DO ✅
- Use translation keys, not raw text
- Namespace translations by feature
- Support pluralization
- Handle date/number formats per locale
- Plan for RTL from the start
- Use ICU message format for complex strings
DON'T ❌
- Hardcode strings in components
- Concatenate translated strings
- Assume text length (German is 30% longer)
- Forget about RTL layout
- Mix languages in same file
6. Common Issues
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Missing translation | Fallback to default language |
| Hardcoded strings | Use linter/checker script |
| Date format | Use Intl.DateTimeFormat |
| Number format | Use Intl.NumberFormat |
| Pluralization | Use ICU message format |
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

i18n-localization is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashrafmusa/agenticana (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 797 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to i18n-localization, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.

skill-creator-primer
You MUST load this skill before the skill-creator skill AND before making ANY change to, or conducting a review of ANY Agent Skill. Triggers include creating, editing, reviewing, or contributing to any part of an Agent Skill (description, frontmatter, body, references, scripts, trigger evals, conflicts, etc).
llm-wiki
Use when building or maintaining a self-contained personal knowledge base (an LLM wiki) in plain markdown. Triggers: ingesting sources into a wiki, querying wiki knowledge, linting wiki health, auditing article claims against their sources, critiquing a wiki source's reasoning, superseding stale knowledge, 'add to…
extract-wisdom
Extract wisdom, insights, and actionable takeaways from YouTube videos, blog posts, articles, or text files. Use when asked to extract wisdom or key insights from a given content source.
translate
Translate English or Japanese tech articles into natural, fluent Chinese. Use whenever the user asks for Chinese translation, says "translate to Chinese" or "翻译", or provides English/Japanese content (pasted text or a file) to convert into Chinese. Chinese output only — not for translating into other languages.
apply-mantel-styles
Provides guidelines for applying Mantel's brand styles to diagrams and frontend components. Use when asked to create visuals that need to align with Mantel's branding.
home-assistant
This skill should be used when helping with Home Assistant setup, including creating automations, modifying dashboards, checking entity states, debugging automations, and managing the smart home configuration. Use this for queries about HA entities, YAML automation/dashboard generation, or troubleshooting HA issues.
