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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00073 | $0.00768 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00384 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00154 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00077 |
Grade A, and why
maui-localization-theming 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.

MAUI Localization and Theming
Use this skill when a MAUI app needs translated strings, culture-specific formatting, right-to-left support, or runtime theme changes.
Workflow
- Inspect existing
Resources,ResourceDictionary,App.xaml, and platform language declarations. - Put user-visible strings in RESX resources or the app's existing localization service.
- Use culture-aware formatting for dates, numbers, and currency.
- If runtime language switching is required, centralize culture updates and notify UI bindings.
- Add RTL support through
FlowDirectionand test with an RTL culture. - Define colors, spacing, and styles as resources.
- Use
AppThemeBindingfor simple light/dark values andDynamicResourcefor values that change at runtime. - Set
Application.Current.UserAppThemeonly when the user explicitly chooses a theme; useUnspecifiedfor system theme.
RESX Pattern
Use a default resource file plus culture-specific files:
Resources/Strings/AppResources.resx
Resources/Strings/AppResources.es.resx
Resources/Strings/AppResources.fr.resx
Reference generated resources from XAML or ViewModels instead of hard-coded strings. Keep resource keys stable and descriptive.
Runtime Culture Switching
When the user changes language:
- Set
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture. - Set
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture. - Update any generated resource culture property if the app uses one.
- Notify bound localized strings, recreate affected pages, or use a localization manager that raises change notifications.
- Persist the selected culture in
Preferencesonly after the user chooses it.
Do not assume changing the thread culture automatically refreshes every existing binding. Existing pages usually need notification or recreation.
Platform Language Declarations
| Platform | Check |
|---|---|
| iOS/Mac Catalyst | Include supported localizations such as CFBundleLocalizations when platform language metadata is required. |
| Android | Confirm app language/resource configuration if using platform-specific localized resources. |
| Windows | Confirm package/resource language metadata if the app has Windows-specific resources. |
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.

maui-localization-theming is a skill published in the GitHub repository dotnet/maui-labs (213 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 768 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
