Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00046 | $0.02679 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.01072 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00536 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00268 |
Grade B, and why
jta scanned grade B with 2 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 358 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Jta Translation
AI-powered JSON internationalization file translator with Agentic reflection mechanism.
When to Use This Skill
- User asks to translate JSON i18n/locale files
- User mentions "internationalization", "i18n", "l10n", or "locale"
- User wants to add new languages to their project
- User needs to update existing translations
- User mentions specific languages like "translate to Chinese/Japanese/Korean"
Core Capabilities
- Agentic Translation: AI translates, evaluates, and improves its own work (3x API calls per batch)
- Smart Terminology: Automatically detects and maintains consistent terms (brand names, technical terms)
- Format Protection: Preserves
{variables},{{placeholders}}, HTML tags, URLs, Markdown - Incremental Mode: Only translates new/changed content (saves 80-90% API cost on updates)
- 27 Languages: Including RTL languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu)
Instructions
Step 1: Check if jta is installed
# Check if jta exists
if ! command -v jta &> /dev/null; then
echo "jta not found, will install"
fi
Step 2: Install jta if needed
# Detect OS and install jta
OS="$(uname -s)"
ARCH="$(uname -m)"
if [[ "$OS" == "Darwin"* ]]; then
# macOS - try Homebrew first
if command -v brew &> /dev/null; then
brew tap hikanner/jta
brew install jta
else
# Download binary
if [[ "$ARCH" == "arm64" ]]; then
curl -L https://github.com/hikanner/jta/releases/latest/download/jta-darwin-arm64 -o jta
else
curl -L https://github.com/hikanner/jta/releases/latest/download/jta-darwin-amd64 -o jta
fi
chmod +x jta
sudo mv jta /usr/local/bin/
fi
elif [[ "$OS" == "Linux"* ]]; then
# Linux
curl -L https://github.com/hikanner/jta/releases/latest/download/jta-linux-amd64 -o jta
chmod +x jta
sudo mv jta /usr/local/bin/
fi
# Verify installation
jta --version
Step 3: Check for API key and set provider
Jta requires an AI provider API key. Check in this order and set the provider flag:
What ships with it
6 files 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.
