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

multi-lang-readme 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.

Multi-Lang README

Overview

Create multilingual README files by translating an existing README while preserving Markdown structure, links, code blocks, and language-switch navigation. The workflow supports bilingual and multilingual README sets without rewriting unrelated project documentation.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • Bilingual README creation (for example English + Chinese)
  • Multilingual README generation
  • Translating an existing README into one or more target languages
  • Standardized language-switch links across README files

Do not use

Do not use this skill for:

  • Translating arbitrary non-README documents
  • Rewriting product requirements or legal documents
  • Content generation tasks unrelated to README translation

Instructions

  1. Locate the source README file to translate (ask user if ambiguous).
  2. Confirm target language(s) and desired canonical README language.
  3. Translate content while preserving markdown, links, and code blocks.
  4. Write translated files using language suffix conventions.
  5. Add or update language-switch links at the top of each README.
  6. Verify filenames, link paths, and formatting before final output.

Supported Languages

Code Language
en English
de German
ja Japanese
ko Korean
zh-CN Chinese

Workflow

Step 1: Detect README

Find the source README:

  • Check root directory for README.md
  • If multiple README files exist, ask which file should be translated

Step 2: Read README Content

Read full markdown content, including:

  • Title
  • Badges
  • All sections (Features, Installation, Usage, Contributing, License, etc.)
  • Code blocks
  • Links

Step 3: Confirm Target Language

Ask user which language(s) to translate to. Default assumptions:

  • README.md should always be in English as the canonical version
  • If current README is in Chinese (or any non-English), translate it to English first
  • After English version is established, add other language versions as requested
