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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 580 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

translate

The single entry point for translating anything — a whole codebase's i18n, a WordPress theme/plugin's gettext catalog, a folder of Markdown docs, a batch of JSON files, a subtitle file — into any set of target languages. It drives the three-tier translator panel and applies a domain specialization so terminology is right for the material.

The panel (why three tiers)

  • Lead (translate-lead, Opus) — orchestrates the run, dispatches each batch to a worker, and adversarially reviews every result against a fixed C1–C7 checklist before signing off. Runs the final blind-spot sweeps. Loads the specialization module so its terminology check is domain-aware.
  • Senior (translate-senior, Sonnet) — translates domain-prose and any substantive surface. Spawned by the Lead, not directly by this skill.
  • Junior (translate-junior, Haiku) — translates only low-risk UI chrome. Spawned by the Lead.

This skill computes the scope + per-batch tier classification, then spawns the Lead once; the Lead handles all worker spawns and reviews. The single final build/verify runs here (Step 6).

Invocation

/translate                         # translate the changed-since-last-run set into the configured targets
/translate --path <dir>            # point at a project/folder on disk, e.g. --path C:\Projects\MyApp
/translate <path>                  # shorthand for --path <path> (a folder) or --files <path> (a file/glob)
/translate --to <langs>            # e.g. --to de,fr,pt-BR  (overrides configured targets for this run)
/translate --from <lang>           # override the detected/configured source language
/translate --domain <name>         # specialization: general | technical | marketing | legal | finance | medical | ecommerce | travel | government | scientific | <custom> (default from config, else general). Layer with a comma-list: --domain technical,finance (first = primary)
/translate --formality <f>         # register for the whole run: formal | informal | auto (overrides config.formality; default auto)
/translate --files <glob|paths>    # translate an explicit set (a folder, a glob, named files)
/translate --out <mode>            # output layout: inplace (default) | tree | catalog  (see Step 0.5)
/translate --full                  # translate the ENTIRE translatable surface, not just the diff
/translate --no-gates              # skip the project gates (config.gates) for this run (see Step 6.7)

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.
