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

translation 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 20d 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 — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Translation

Own the language-production lifecycle. Deliver natural, accurate target-language content without changing product facts, inventing market claims, or treating translated words as proof that a locale is ready to launch.

Boundaries

  • This skill owns translation, transcreation, terminology, style, linguistic review, and keeping translations current.
  • localization-strategy owns locale selection, page coverage, URL architecture, routing, rollout, and release verification.
  • keyword-research owns target-market queries. Never translate a source keyword list and call it localized research.
  • Project positioning, feature availability, legal facts, and approved terminology remain in their project SSOTs.

Prepare the Source

Read root contextus.md when present. Before translating, establish:

  • source version and owner;
  • content type and target locale or market;
  • user task, audience, tone, and channel;
  • product facts and claims that must remain unchanged;
  • approved terminology, forbidden terms, and terms intentionally left untranslated;
  • layout, UI, metadata, structured-data, or character constraints;
  • review level required by business, legal, safety, or conversion risk.

If the source is unstable or contradictory, report the conflict before producing many dependent translations.

Choose the Right Treatment

Treatment Use when Main risk
Direct translation Meaning and context transfer cleanly Literal but unnatural phrasing
Localization Formats, examples, terminology, or market facts differ Unverified adaptation
Transcreation Taglines, campaigns, landing-page persuasion, or cultural framing must change Drifting from the product promise
Machine-assisted translation with review Volume is high and risk is controlled Fluent factual or terminology errors
Specialist translation Legal, regulated, safety-critical, or technically exact material Liability from semantic change

Machine translation is a production method, not an automatic quality verdict. Match review depth to risk and page importance. Do not publish raw machine output merely because it reads fluently.

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.
