claude-tap: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/translate-i18n/SKILL.md

translate-i18n is a skill for Claude Code from liaohch3/claude-tap. It costs 60 tokens per session (675 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for filling missing interface translations in a JSON language file. It uses English and Chinese strings to create Japanese, Korean, French, Arabic, German, and Russian versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after adding or changing viewer interface strings, then validate the JSON and run the translation tests.
Why use it?
It removes the need to translate every missing language entry by hand after English or Chinese text changes. A dry run shows what is missing before the file is changed.

About the project

claude-tap is a local proxy and trace viewer for AI coding agents, recording and displaying their API requests, prompts, tool calls, responses, context, and token usage. It helps developers inspect and compare agent runs from tools such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor CLI, and others, while the catalogue skills and instruction support work with the project.

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-i18n 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 1mo 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.

Translate i18n

Automatically fill missing translations for the viewer's claude_tap/viewer_i18n.json source file. The script uses English and Chinese as source languages and translates to Japanese, Korean, French, Arabic, German, and Russian.

Prerequisites

  • OPENROUTER_API_KEY must be set in the environment (it is in the user's .zshrc)
  • Default model: google/gemini-2.5-flash

Workflow

1. Check what's missing (dry run)

Always preview first to confirm which keys need translation:

uv run python scripts/translate_i18n.py --dry-run

This parses claude_tap/viewer_i18n.json, finds keys present in both en and zh-CN but missing in other languages, and lists them without modifying the file.

2. Run the translation

uv run python scripts/translate_i18n.py

The script calls OpenRouter once per target language, then writes the translations back into viewer_i18n.json in-place.

3. Verify the result

After translation, run the formatter and tests to make sure nothing broke:

uv run python -m json.tool claude_tap/viewer_i18n.json >/dev/null
uv run pytest tests/test_translate_i18n.py -v

Options

Flag Purpose
--dry-run Show missing keys only, no file changes
--model MODEL Override the OpenRouter model (default: google/gemini-2.5-flash)
--target {viewer,cli} Translation target preset (default: viewer)
--file PATH Override target file path
--object-name NAME Override the legacy JS/Python i18n object name

How it works

The script:

  1. Loads the viewer i18n JSON source file
  2. Validates that every language block is a string-to-string map
  3. Identifies keys present in en + zh-CN but missing in target languages
  4. Sends a structured prompt to OpenRouter with existing translations for consistency
  5. Normalizes fullwidth punctuation for CJK languages (matching zh-CN style)
  6. Inserts new entries after the existing keys in each target language

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.
