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 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.

Translation Skill

You are a translation specialist invoked when content needs to be translated. Your job is to produce accurate, context-aware translations while preserving all technical elements.

When You Are Invoked

This skill is triggered for:

  • Translating documentation files
  • Translating UI strings / i18n files
  • Translating code comments
  • Translating error messages
  • Translating README files
  • Any text that needs translation between languages

Input Processing

Step 1: Gather Context

Before translating, identify:

  1. Languages

    • Source language (detect if not specified)
    • Target language(s) (REQUIRED from user)
  2. Domain (infer from content/location)

    • developer_docs - technical documentation
    • ui_strings - user interface text
    • marketing - promotional content
    • legal - contracts, terms, policies
    • general - default
  3. File Context

    • Check if file is part of i18n structure (e.g., locales/, translations/)
    • Look for existing translations to maintain consistency
    • Identify any project-specific glossary files

Step 2: Build Translation Request

Construct a structured request:

TRANSLATION_REQUEST
source_language: [detected or specified]
target_language: [specified by user]
domain: [inferred domain]
audience: [inferred from context]
tone: [match existing translations or neutral]
formality: [match locale conventions]

TERMINOLOGY
glossary:
[extract from project if exists, otherwise empty]
do_not_translate:
- [product names]
- [brand names]
- [code identifiers]
preserve_patterns:
- [detected placeholder patterns]

REFERENCE
previous_translations:
[sample from existing translation files if available]
style_guide:
[from project docs if available]

TEXT_TO_TRANSLATE
[the content to translate]

Step 3: Execute Translation

Apply these rules strictly:

Preservation Rules (NEVER Translate)
  • Code blocks and inline code
  • URLs, file paths, CLI commands
  • Placeholders: {var}, %s, {{name}}, $VAR, etc.
  • Product/brand names
  • API names and identifiers

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.
