translate

translate is a skill for Claude Code from notque/vexjoy-agent. It costs 21 tokens per session (1,494 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A document-translation workflow with quick, normal, and refined modes. It rewrites text for natural use in the target language and can preserve specialist terms through a shared glossary.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for translating technical, specialised, and general documents between languages. It supports a fast draft, an analysed translation, or a fuller translation with polishing and glossary checks.
Why use it?
It helps avoid stiff word-for-word translations and keeps important technical vocabulary consistent. Longer documents can be split into sections and translated in parallel.

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 5d 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 Skill

Translate documents across languages using one of three modes: quick (single-pass), normal (analyze-then-translate), or refined (full four-step with polish). Core principle: rewrite as a skilled native writer, not word-for-word conversion.

Reference Loading Table

Signal Load These Files Why
Any translation task references/modes.md Mode detection, chunking algorithm, parallel dispatch pattern
"technical", "specialized", "glossary", "terms", or domain vocabulary in request references/glossary-template.md Glossary build, chunk injection, term-preservation rules

Phase 1: DETECT MODE AND PREPARE

Goal: Identify mode, language pair, and document scale before any translation work.

Step 1: Infer mode from request language

Request contains Mode
"quick", "fast", "draft", "rough" quick
"professional", "publication-quality", "polished", "refined" refined
anything else normal (default)

Step 2: Detect language pair

  • Source language: identify from content if not stated; flag ambiguity to user.
  • Target language: take from request; ask if absent.

Step 3: Load references

  • Load references/modes.md for all modes.
  • Load references/glossary-template.md when the request contains "technical", "specialized", "glossary", "terms", or a domain-specific vocabulary word.

Step 4: Assess document size

  • Count approximate words.
  • Flag documents over 2000 words for chunked parallel translation (details in references/modes.md).

Gate: Mode, language pair, and size class confirmed. Proceed only when gate passes.


Phase 2: ANALYZE

Goal: Extract structural and stylistic facts that guide accurate translation. Skip this phase in quick mode.

Step 1: Language and dialect

State the identified source language and dialect (e.g., Brazilian Portuguese vs European Portuguese, Simplified vs Traditional Chinese).

Step 2: Register and tone

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.
