globalize-guide

globalize-guide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from globalize-now/globalize-skills. It costs 268 tokens per session (6,362 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An internationalization workflow for adapting a software project to multiple languages and regions. It detects the technology stack, helps choose and configure a translation library, converts existing text, and can connect Globalize for translation management.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add or configure multilingual support, wrap hardcoded interface text, build translation catalogs, and connect the project to Globalize.
Why use it?
It organizes the many steps needed to add localization instead of leaving translated text, catalogs, and repository setup disconnected. Globalize connection is included by default but can remain out of scope.

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

globalize-guide 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

i18n Orchestrator

Start here

This file is the map. The detailed instructions for every step live in references/ and are loaded on demand. You will not find library setup code in this file — do not write any from memory.

Phase map

Stage Goal Load before acting
1 — Inspect and decide Detect stack, ask all questions, write the plan references/orchestrator/inspect.md + detect.<language>.md, then compat.<language>.md, library-choice.md, setup-choices.md
1.5 — Globalize account Sign in, via the globalize-now-account-setup skill —
2 — Setup Install + configure the library references/orchestrator/setup-subagent.md + every references.setup and references.rulesTemplate path
3 — Convert Wrap strings, convert formatting, extract + compile references/orchestrator/wrap-subagent.md, verify-subagent.md, cleanup-loop.md + every references.convert path
4 — Globalize project Create project + connect repo, via globalize-now-project-setup references/orchestrator/globalize-inputs.md

Stages 1.5 and 4 run only when Globalize stays in scope (default-on; §1.6). Account sign-in needs no project data, so it runs upfront; project + repo setup needs the converted catalog paths, so it runs at the end.

How to load references

  1. Orchestrator procedure files live in references/orchestrator/ and are named in the phase map and in each section below.
  2. Stack-specific files come from manifest.json. Its stacks[] entries each carry match (the §1.3 predicate), packages (runtime / dev, pinned) and references: setup (array, read in order), convert (array, read in order), rulesTemplate, optional optional.*. All paths are relative to this skill's directory. After §1.11, read .globalize/manifest-snapshot.json (the frozen chosen entry) instead of the live manifest.
  3. Read before you edit. Every reference a step names is read in full, before the first project file is edited for that step. If a tool truncates or pages output, keep reading by offset / line range until the end of the file — never act on a partial file. Ordering and ownership rules for multi-file arrays: references/orchestrator/reading-references.md.

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.
