What it does

Deepl is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Translate text with DeepL: translate between 30+ languages, list languages, check usage. Trigger phrases: deepl, translate this.

Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/deepl.py`).

The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/deepl”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Translation is a read-like operation: no confirmation needed, but usage counts against the user's character quota, so keep batches…
  2. Machine translation can be wrong: flag this when the output will be published or used in legal, medical, or brand contexts.
  3. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/deepl.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. 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

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Deepl loads about 520 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 175 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~520

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.

DeepL

Purpose

Translate text with DeepL: translate between 30+ languages with optional formality control, list supported languages, check character usage. Use when the user mentions DeepL or wants text translated.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/deepl.py:

bash
bin/deepl.py auth                                        # verify the key and show usage
bin/deepl.py translate --text "Hello" --target-lang FR  # translate text
bin/deepl.py translate --text "Hello" --target-lang DE --source-lang EN --formality more
bin/deepl.py languages                                  # list supported target languages

Free-plan keys end in :fx and use api-free.deepl.com (the default). Paid keys use api.deepl.com: pass --host api.deepl.com for those.

Auth

  • Provider id: deepl (credential is collected as custom.deepl)
  • Collection: API key via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); created in the DeepL account under API Keys
  • Allowed hosts: api-free.deepl.com, api.deepl.com
  • Status check: bin/deepl.py auth (must return "ok": true)

Operating Rules

  1. Translation is a read-like operation: no confirmation needed, but usage counts against the user's character quota, so keep batches reasonable.
  2. Machine translation can be wrong: flag this when the output will be published or used in legal, medical, or brand contexts.
  3. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/deepl.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.
