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

internationalization 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.

Internationalization

Add languages and regions in a way that works for users, search engines, and the team maintaining the content. Stack-agnostic.


When to use

  • Adding the first non-English (or non-default) language
  • Adding additional locales to an existing internationalized site
  • Choosing URL structure for languages
  • Implementing hreflang tags
  • Designing translation workflow
  • Handling currency, date, time, and number formats
  • Designing or fixing layout for RTL languages
  • Auditing an internationalization rollout that's underperforming

When NOT to use

  • Single-language site (use other skills)
  • Domain strategy that's not language-driven (use domain-strategy)
  • Content strategy independent of locale (use content-strategy)
  • Marketing copy production (use content-and-copy)

Required inputs

  • The locales in scope (language + region, e.g., en-US, de-DE, fr-CA)
  • Business reason per locale (priority, audience size)
  • Existing site architecture
  • Translation resources (in-house, agency, AI-assisted, community)
  • Content volume and update frequency

The framework: 5 layers

Internationalization touches everything. Five layers, each with their own decisions.

Layer 1: URL structure

How locales are reflected in URLs.

Pattern Example When
ccTLD example.de, example.fr Strong country focus, distinct legal entities, willing to maintain separate domains
Subdomain de.example.com, fr.example.com Logical separation, willing to host separately, common for large sites
Subfolder example.com/de/, example.com/fr/ SEO equity unified, simplest to manage, default for most
URL parameter example.com?lang=de Avoid; weak SEO signal

For most sites: subfolder is the default. Subdomain or ccTLD only when there's a specific reason (legal, infrastructure, or brand).

Within the chosen pattern, decide:

  • Language only (/de/) or language plus region (/de-de/, /de-at/, /de-ch/)?
  • Default locale: at the apex (example.com) or in a folder (example.com/en/)?

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.
