translate

translate is a skill for Claude Code from clearsmog/claude-skills. It costs 25 tokens per session (742 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A document-conversion workflow for moving content between Typst, a markup language for typeset documents, and Quarto, a publishing format for documents and presentations.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps convert .typ files to .qmd files and .qmd files to .typ files. Beamer (.tex) translations require project-level configuration.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of rewriting document structure, styling components, citations, and mathematics when changing formats. The source file remains the single source of truth.

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 11d 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.

Multi-Format Translation Workflow

Translate documents between supported formats.

CRITICAL: The source file is the SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH.


Supported Translations

From To Method
.typ (Typst) .qmd (Quarto) Component mapping
.qmd (Quarto) .typ (Typst) CSS classes to components

Note: For Beamer (.tex) translations, configure at project level. Projects with Beamer support should have their own translate skill with environment mapping tables.

Format Detection

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

  • First argument: source file path
  • Second argument (optional): target format (.qmd, .typ)
  • If no target specified, infer from project context

Typst → Quarto

Component Mapping

Typst (qk) Quarto CSS
#keypoint[...] ::: {.keybox}\n...\n:::
#insight[...] ::: {.highlightbox}\n...\n:::
#tip[...] ::: {.methodbox}\n...\n:::
#note[...] ::: {.softbox}\n...\n:::
#warning[...] ::: {.keybox}\n**Warning:** ...\n:::
#trap[...] ::: {.keybox}\n**Common mistake:** ...\n:::

Citation Mapping

  • @key@key (same in Quarto)

Math Mapping

  • $...$ (Typst inline) → $...$ (Quarto inline)
  • $ ... $ (Typst display) → $$...$$ (Quarto display)

Quarto → Typst

Component Mapping

Math Mapping

  • $...$$...$
  • $$...$$$ ... $ (display)

Quality Standards (All Translations)

  1. Content parity — every idea from source must appear in target
  2. Environment parity — every box/callout must use the corresponding target element
  3. Notation consistency — same symbols as source
  4. No content loss — never summarize or condense
  5. All citations verified — every reference resolves
  6. All images referenced — every figure path valid
  7. Compile successfully — target must build without errors

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.
