What it does

Translate is an agent skill from ai-driven-dev/framework. Builds the canonical-source-to-target-native translation pipeline under src/contexts/translate/ — target-aware content transforms, the plugin content translator, and the build strategies behind aidd translate and aidd sync. Use when adding a target-aware transform, changing PluginContentTranslator, adding a build strategy, or wiring a new tool into the build registry. Do NOT use for a tool's own profile, capability classes, or build contract — use tools. Do NOT use for where content is fetched from — use…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Translation. The repository describes itself as: Marketplace Framework AI-Driven Dev : Context Engineering, Plugins, Agents, Skills, Hooks, Templates, SDLC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding a target-aware transform
  • Changing PluginContentTranslator
  • Adding a build strategy
  • Wiring a new tool into the build registry

Example prompts

  • “Use the translate skill to build the canonical-source-to-target-native translation pipeline under src/contexts/translate/ — target-aware content…”
  • “/translate”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30640. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Translate loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 152 tokens; SKILL.md has 455 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~152
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Builds the canonical-source-to-target-native translation pipeline under src/contexts/translate/ — target-aware content transforms, the plugin content translator, and the build strategies behind `aidd translate` and `aidd sync`. Use when adding a target-aware transform, changing `PluginContentTranslator`, adding a build strategy, or wiring a new tool into the build registry. Do NOT use for a tool's own profile, capability classes, or build contract — use `tools`. Do NOT use for where content is fetched from — use `distribution`. Do NOT use for manifest/install orchestration — use `framework`.

Translate

translate is the core: it turns the canonical, Claude-format framework source into target-native content for every tool at once. It reaches two places and no others: tools, its one outbound context edge, and kernel. Everything it reaches in tools is that context's declared public surface (contracts.ts, registry.ts, build-contract.ts, and the handful of capability and port modules listed as public), never an internal file. The whole graph is in .claude/rules/00-architecture/0-contexts.md.

What goes in

ConceptLocation
A transform whose behavior differs by target tooldomain/formats/
The plugin-files-to-installed-files translatordomain/content-translator.ts (PluginContentTranslator)
The canonical framework-doc shapedomain/canon.ts
The canonical single-plugin shapedomain/plugin-distribution.ts
Build targets and modesdomain/build-target.ts
The aidd translate use-caseapplication/translate-source.ts (FrameworkBuildUseCase)
A build orchestrator (one per mode, never per tool)application/strategies/
Schema validation for marketplace/plugin manifestsinfrastructure/schema-validator.ts

A transform used by exactly one tool profile does not belong here — it lives in that profile's own directory. A transform shared by ≥2 profiles but identical regardless of target lives in contexts/tools/domain/formats/ instead. What belongs in translate/domain/formats/ is a transform that is aware of which target it is producing for.

How

  • PluginContentTranslator takes one plugin's canonical files and one tool's AiTool<C>, and calls the tool's own rewriteContent — it does not reimplement a tool's rewrite logic, it invokes what tools declared. That function is one-way and has no inverse; the tools skill's references/content-rewrite.md says why, and names the trap an identity rewrite sets.
  • FrameworkBuildUseCase (aidd translate) reads a ToolBuildContract per target and mode from tools, and dispatches to MarketplaceBuildStrategy or FlatBuildStrategy — both implement BuildOutputStrategy and iterate the six artifact kinds generically, with zero per-tool or per-kind branching. Adding a build target means the target tool declares a contract in tools; it never means adding a case here. See the tools skill's references/build-contract.md.
  • runtime/wiring/translate.ts derives the "<target>:<mode>" build registry by iterating every registered tool and reading its contract — there is no hand-maintained per-tool row.
  • Follow the use-case and orchestration rules in .claude/rules/00-architecture/ for the application layer's shape, and the shared-module rule there before promoting a helper used by only one strategy into shared-plugin-helpers.ts.

Public surface

Nothing outside contexts/translate/ may import a module this context has not declared public — tests/architecture/context-boundary.arch.test.ts holds the list (PUBLIC_MODULES.translate). framework is the only context that imports from here (framework → translate); a module used by framework must be on that list.

How it's tested

  • tests/contexts/translate/ mirrors src/contexts/translate/ — formats, content-translator, canon, and the two build strategies each have unit or integration coverage.
  • tests/golden/framework-build-golden.e2e.test.ts snapshots a full build across every target — see test skill's golden/machine-independence rules before touching a snapshot.
  • A new target-aware transform gets a unit test over a representative input carrying the marker it is meant to rewrite. A transform that is the identity for the fixture it was given is indistinguishable from one that never ran.

Translate is an agent skill from ai-driven-dev/framework. Builds the canonical-source-to-target-native translation pipeline under src/contexts/translate/ — target-aware content transforms, the plugin content translator, and the build strategies behind aidd translate and aidd sync.

When should I use Translate?

Translate fits situations like: adding a target-aware transform; changing PluginContentTranslator; adding a build strategy; wiring a new tool into the build registry.

How do I install Translate in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add ai-driven-dev/framework --skill translate -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (cli/.claude/skills/translate in ai-driven-dev/framework) into .claude/skills/translate in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Translate in Codex?

Run `npx skills add ai-driven-dev/framework --skill translate -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (cli/.claude/skills/translate in ai-driven-dev/framework) into .agents/skills/translate in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Translate in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ai-driven-dev/framework --skill translate -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/translate, .gemini/skills/translate, .github/skills/translate and .opencode/skills/translate in your project.

What does Translate need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Translate is instructions for the agent only.
