What is hashiiiii-locale?

Locale preference guidance for choosing the language settings used by a user, project, or Git worktree. A Git worktree is a separate working directory linked to a repository.

It helps set or change language preferences for one user, one project, or one local worktree.

It prevents locale settings from being written to the wrong place or shared more widely than intended.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00027	$0.00932
Opus 5	$0.00014	$0.00466
Sonnet 5	$0.00005	$0.00186
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00093

Security

Grade A, and why

hashiiiii-locale 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 — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Locale Setup

Set locale preferences at the scope that the user selects. Do not use the plugin installation scope to select the locale scope.

Scope Selection

Accept user, project, or local as a bare argument. Also accept scope=<scope>.

If the request has no scope, ask for the scope first. Then ask for the locale values.

Do not infer the scope from the current directory or plugin installation.

Before each write, state the selected scope, exact target path, and sharing behavior.

Scope	Target	Sharing behavior
`user`	`${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-${HOME:-}/.config}/rules-for-ai/LOCALE.md`	Use the locale in all projects for this user.
`project`	`<repo>/.rules-for-ai/LOCALE.md`	Commit the locale for team use.
`local`	`<absolute-git-dir>/rules-for-ai/LOCALE.md`	Use the locale in this Git worktree, outside `git status`.

For project or local, use git rev-parse --show-toplevel to find the repository.

If the command fails, stop without a write.

For local, get <absolute-git-dir> from git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir. This path keeps linked worktree preferences separate.

Do not commit a project file automatically. Do not add a local file to .gitignore or .git/info/exclude.

Resolution Order

The first existing file wins as a whole:

<absolute-git-dir>/rules-for-ai/LOCALE.md
<repo>/.rules-for-ai/LOCALE.md
${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-${HOME:-}/.config}/rules-for-ai/LOCALE.md
Bundled LOCALE.default.md
Inline en_US values

Project instructions in CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md take precedence over the resolved locale keys.

Locale Arguments

A single POSIX-style tag, such as ja_JP, sets all five keys.
Key-value arguments set separate keys.
If the request has no locale values, ask about each artifact after scope selection.

Key	Artifact
`issues`	Issues
`pull-requests`	Pull requests
`comments`	Code comments
`logs`	Log messages
`test-logs`	Test log messages

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.
