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 | $0.00072 | $0.02841 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00029 | $0.01136 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00568 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00284 |
Grade A, and why
shopify-liquid-translator 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 2mo 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 — 256 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Shopify Liquid Translator
Translates a Shopify theme's English locale files into 30 target languages. Uses a Python script (scripts/translate-locales.py) that calls the Claude API directly with a compact numbered-list format — ~10x more token-efficient than having an LLM write full JSON.
Incremental mode tracks content hashes so unchanged keys are never re-translated.
Source Files
theme/locales/en.default.json— Storefront-facing strings (customer sees these)theme/locales/en.default.schema.json— Theme editor strings (merchant sees these in Shopify admin)
Target Languages (30)
Both .json and .schema.json are generated for every language:
bg, cs, da, de, el, es, fi, fr, hr, hu, id, it, ja, ko, lt, nb, nl, pl, pt-BR, pt-PT, ro, ru, sk, sl, sv, th, tr, vi, zh-CN, zh-TW
Prerequisites
The script requires:
- Python 3 with the
anthropicpackage (pip install anthropic) ANTHROPIC_API_KEYenvironment variable
If the key isn't set, tell the user:
cp .env.example .env # add your key
source .env # load it
Every Bash call that runs the script must load .env with auto-export since shell state doesn't persist between calls:
set -a && source .env && set +a && python3 scripts/translate-locales.py ...
Execution Modes
full — Generate all locale files from scratch
- Pre-flight: Suggest running
auditfirst if it hasn't been run recently - Run the script:
Or for specific languages:set -a && source .env && set +a && python3 scripts/translate-locales.py fullset -a && source .env && set +a && python3 scripts/translate-locales.py full fr de ja - The script handles concurrency (3 workers), retries, and validation
- After completion, a cache file (
theme/locales/.translation-cache.json) is saved for futuresyncruns
sync — Update existing translations after English changes
Only translates new/changed keys. Uses content hashes stored in theme/locales/.translation-cache.json to detect what changed. Typically saves 80-90% of API costs compared to full.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
