localization

localization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from spinningrachel/career-engine. It costs 90 tokens per session (6,008 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of language and writing rules for adapting a CV and cover letter from a person's default language into a second language.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when localising CVs and cover letters according to the person's career data, writing rules, and preferred language.
Why use it?
It keeps terminology, tone, and structure consistent during career-document translation.

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

localization 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 264 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Localization Skill

Registry: this pipeline is listed in the Pipeline Registry in skills/career-engine/SKILL.md. Actions owned by another pipeline's registry row are out of scope here — route to that pipeline instead of improvising.

career-data data root (R-37). The personal-data files — 01-writing-rules.md, 02-professional-background.md, 03-framework.md, linkedin-profile.md, pipeline-preferences.json, delivered-letters/, and the user's .dotx — load from ${CAREER_DATA}/references/, the path the orchestrator resolves in its career-data discovery preflight. Every other file (self-checks, REFERENCES.md, skill docs, default .dotx templates) stays on ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}. If ${CAREER_DATA} is not set (direct or standalone invocation outside the orchestrator), locate the career-data skill yourself, confirm career-data-marker.json, and apply the orchestrator's healthy / damaged / absent outcomes before reading. A configured user's missing career-data is a hard stop — never silently fall back to blank templates.

Opening

What this skill governs

This skill defines how to localize a CV and cover letter from {{USER_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE}} into {{USER_SECOND_LANGUAGE}}. It is a reference, not a procedure — the procedure lives in agents/localization.md. Consult this skill for:

  • Which terms to keep in the source language vs. render in the target language
  • How to transliterate loanwords
  • Seniority titles and gender agreement
  • Date formats and section heading mappings
  • Cultural and tonal register guidance

The hybrid register principle

The target reader operates in a hybrid professional register. They do not translate acronyms and SaaS-native English terms — those terms travel untouched into their native language because they are the lingua franca of global tech. Forcing a pure-language rendering of GTM, ARR, or ICP sounds like a government press release from a previous decade.

At the same time, leaving borrowed terms in English when a natural phonetic or native form exists signals the writer was uncertain how to express the concept in the target language — even if the word is technically intelligible.

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.
