catalog-hygiene

catalog-hygiene is a skill for Claude Code from sigistry/marketplace. It costs 93 tokens per session (790 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for checking translation files and preparing interfaces for right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. It compares translation keys used by code with the keys and values stored for each language.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps audit locale files, check placeholders and plural rules, and replace left/right layout assumptions with direction-aware styling.
Why use it?
It finds missing, unused, untranslated, or inconsistent messages before users see raw keys, wrong-language text, or broken formatting.

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

catalog-hygiene 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 11d 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 — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Catalog Hygiene

Purpose

Provide a standardized, static methodology for keeping translation catalogs correct and complete, and for making a UI ready for right-to-left languages. A catalog rots the moment code and translations drift: keys used in code but missing from a locale render raw ids to users, keys left in the catalog after a feature is deleted are paid-for cruft, and values that were copy-pasted from English look translated but ship the wrong language. RTL readiness is the other half, a layout full of physical left/right CSS silently breaks in Arabic and Hebrew.

Catalog Health Checks

Cross-reference the code's translation calls against every locale file and report:

Check Definition Impact
Missing key used in code, absent in a locale fallback text or a raw key shown to users
Unused key in the catalog, referenced nowhere dead weight; wasted translation spend
Untranslated value target value byte-equal to the source looks done, ships the source language
Placeholder drift {name}/{count} set differs across locales undefined in the string or a formatter throw
ICU error malformed plural/select, unbalanced braces renders literally or throws at runtime
Missing plural category locale lacks a CLDR form its grammar needs wrong number agreement for real inputs

Measure coverage per locale = translated keys ÷ source keys, and treat the source locale (usually en) as the reference set.

Key Design Principles

  • Namespace keys by feature/component and derive them from meaning, not the English string, so re-wording copy does not churn keys.
  • One key = one message = one place. Reuse before duplicating; do not fork save/save_button/btn_save for the same word.
  • Never machine-translate to fill a gap, leave the value empty (or the framework's missing sentinel) for a human translator.

RTL Readiness In One Line

Replace direction-baked physical CSS with logical properties (margin-leftmargin-inline-start, leftinset-inline-start, text-align: leftstart). Logical properties resolve to the correct physical side based on the element's dir, so one stylesheet serves both directions. What logical properties cannot fix, mirrored icons, x-axis transforms, directional shadows, and bidi text, needs human judgment. See references/rtl-logical-properties.md.

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.

catalog-hygiene is a skill published in the GitHub repository sigistry/marketplace (3 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 790 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
