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

yq-translate-docs 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 8d 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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Translate Bilingual Docs

Keep an English and Chinese document pair equivalent without forcing either language into the other's sentence structure. Use the repository's own localization contract; do not import another project's filenames, sidecars, manifests, or validation rules.

This skill is explicit-only. Use it when the user invokes $yq-translate-docs to translate, synchronize, reconcile, rename, or audit bilingual documentation. It covers maintained documentation such as READMEs, guides, release notes, and website pages. Source-code locale dictionaries follow the project's application-i18n workflow unless the user includes them.

While this explicitly invoked workflow is active, apply $yq-technical-writing to both languages so every source proposition survives in natural prose. Before a user-authorized push or readiness claim, invoke $yq-pre-push-checks once for the outgoing change set; do not run it per document or infer permission to commit or push.

Discover the pair contract

Before editing, read the applicable repository instructions and determine:

  • the default document, its counterpart, and any legacy alias or redirect;
  • whether either side is generated, frozen, or owned by another source;
  • the glossary, terminology table, style sample, link policy, and locale-specific assets already used by the project;
  • existing localization, link, rendering, or documentation checks.

Either language may be the authored side for a change. Product facts come from current code, configuration, release evidence, or another declared owner; neither language automatically overrides those sources.

Classify the change

  • Update: one side changed. Translate only the changed semantic units and preserve reviewed wording outside that diff.
  • New pair: no counterpart exists. Translate the whole document in sections, keeping the source structure visible as work progresses.
  • Both sides changed: compare both sides with their common base and reconcile each changed unit. Preserve independent valid updates instead of choosing one language for the whole file.
  • Rename or delete: move or remove the counterpart and repair navigation, language switches, and inbound links according to repository policy.
  • Alias or redirect: preserve its routing role. Do not expand a deliberate compatibility stub into a second maintained translation.

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.
