token-saver is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lyymuwu/TokTrans. It costs 38 tokens per session (288 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line wrapper that translates prompts into English before Codex CLI receives them and translates the final answer back into the original language.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install, configure, check, run, or uninstall the translation wrapper, including translated coding requests and answers.
Why use it?
It helps people use Codex CLI in their own language while leaving the official Codex installation unchanged.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./scripts/install.sh.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

token-saver 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

TokTrans

TokTrans provides a local wrapper command, codex-ts, that keeps the official codex installation untouched.

Use it when:

  • The user wants prompts in any natural language translated to English before Codex CLI receives them.
  • The user wants final Codex answers translated back to their original language.
  • The user asks to diagnose or safely uninstall the wrapper.

Important behavior:

  • codex-ts exec is the reliable path. It captures the final assistant message with --output-last-message, translates only that final message, and preserves the original exit code.
  • Interactive TUI mode translates only the initial prompt and injects final-answer language guidance. Live streamed output filtering is best-effort until Codex exposes stable final-output hooks.
  • If translation fails, the wrapper falls back to raw codex.
  • The installer never overwrites official Codex binaries or unmanaged user files.

Typical commands:

./scripts/install.sh
codex-ts doctor
codex-ts exec "请帮我检查这个仓库的测试失败原因"
codex-ts exec "Por favor revisa por que fallan las pruebas"
./scripts/uninstall.sh --dry-run

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.
