Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00057 | $0.01702 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00681 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00340 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00170 |
Grade A, and why
write-translations 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 18d 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 — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Write each language for its readers
Tale addresses readers as a helpful peer: you in English, du in German and Swiss German, and
tu in French. Preserve that relationship and the complete meaning. A good translation uses the
syntax and vocabulary a reader expects in their language; it does not preserve English sentence
shapes merely because they came first.
Establish scope and sources
Read the repo contract, then the applicable locale guide: English, German, French, or Swiss German. For docs, also follow write-docs and the local content contract.
In the task's note outside the clone, identify the files, reader's task, meaning to preserve, terminology to verify, and likely language risks. Reuse an existing planning note; no additional notes skill is needed. For a broad change, track coverage by page and locale, including what has actually received a native-language read-through.
Use these sources for different questions:
- Product behavior: the observed running product, supported by current source and tests.
- Visible UI wording: the relevant service's message catalog plus shared UI messages, resolved through locale fallback. Match the exact displayed string when naming a control.
- Approved terminology: the glossary and its context notes. Read BUCKETS.md when a term may stay English.
- Typography and checks: CONVENTIONS.md, the locale guide, and the i18n test framework. Inspect actual check modes; advisory findings are not proof of correctness.
Find the key’s owner before editing. Reusable app controls keep messages in
packages/ui/src/i18n/messages/; marketing frames use
packages/marketing-ui/src/i18n/messages/; service-specific UI keeps services/<name>/messages/.
The platform keeps one file per topic and locale — services/platform/messages/<locale>/<topic>.yml,
a topic being one top-level namespace (chat.yml holds chat.*) — and every locale has the same
files (de-CH only the ones it overrides), so a key lives in the same topic file in each locale.
initServiceI18n merges package bundles in order, then service bundles per leaf key, with locale
fallback and sparse regional overlays. Check overrides that can hide a shared correction. Moving
a component also moves its owned keys and relevant regional overrides; it does not require a
second service copy.
What ships with it
16 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

write-translations is a skill published in the GitHub repository tale-project/tale (36 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 1,702 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
