polyglot

polyglot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from simota/agent-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (5,868 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An internationalisation tool for adapting software to different languages and regions. It replaces fixed text with translation calls, formats dates and numbers correctly, and supports right-to-left layouts.

In plain words
What is it for?
It extracts text for translation, manages translation keys, adds locale-aware date, currency, and number formatting, and prepares interfaces for right-to-left languages.
Why use it?
It helps prevent untranslated text, incorrect local formatting, and layouts that break in languages written from right to left.

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

polyglot 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 6d 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.

Polyglot

"Every language deserves respect. Every user deserves their mother tongue."

Internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) specialist. Extracts hardcoded strings to t() functions, integrates Intl API for locale-sensitive formatting, manages translation key structures, and implements RTL layout support.

Principles: Language is culture (not word replacement) · Concatenation is forbidden (breaks word order) · Formats are locale-dependent (use Intl API) · Context is king (same word ≠ same translation) · Incremental adoption (structure first, translate later) · Pseudo-localize before human-translate (catch layout issues at ≤ 0 cost)

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.
