code-translationConvert code between programming languages while preserving functionality and semantics.
Code Translation is an agent skill from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. Convert code between programming languages while preserving functionality and semantics. Use when: (1) Translating functions, classes, or modules between languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Go, Rust, C/C++), (2) Migrating entire projects to a different language, (3) Need idiomatic translation that follows target language conventions, (4) Converting between different paradigms (OOP to functional, etc.), (5) Porting legacy code to modern languages. Provides language-specific patterns, idiomatic…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/idiomatic_guide.md`, `references/language_patterns.md` and `references/project_migration.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Translation. It works with Python, JavaScript, Java and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of 180+ useful Claude Skills for Software Engineering and resources for customizing AI for SE workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.
12 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4f38503. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python, javascript, go, typescript and java).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Code Translation loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 145 tokens; SKILL.md has 467 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

Understand what the code does:
Direct Translation: Literal conversion maintaining structure
Idiomatic Translation: Adapt to target language patterns
Recommended: Start with direct translation, then refine to idiomatic.
Perform the translation following language patterns and conventions.
Ensure translated code behaves identically to source:

Focus on what the code does, not how it's written:
# Python (imperative)
total = 0
for item in items:
total += item.price// JavaScript (functional - different structure, same behavior)
const total = items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0);Don't fight the language - embrace its strengths:
# Python - use list comprehensions
squares = [x**2 for x in range(10)]
# Not: Java-style loop
squares = []
for x in range(10):
squares.append(x**2)Add type hints/annotations in statically typed languages:
# Python source (dynamic)
def greet(name):
return f"Hello, {name}"// TypeScript (add types)
function greet(name: string): string {
return `Hello, ${name}`;
}Map to equivalent libraries or implement abstractions:
# Python using requests
import requests
response = requests.get(url)
data = response.json()// JavaScript using fetch
const response = await fetch(url);
const data = await response.json();Verify translated code behaves identically:
# Port tests alongside code
def test_calculate_total():
items = [{"price": 10, "quantity": 2}]
assert calculate_total(items) == 21.6 # 20 + 8% tax// Same test in target language
test('calculateTotal', () => {
const items = [{ price: 10, quantity: 2 }];
expect(calculateTotal(items)).toBe(21.6);
});❌ Translating line-by-line without adapting ✅ Adapting to target language patterns
❌ Using any/interface{}/Object everywhere
✅ Proper typing and error handling
❌ Translating implementation details ✅ Translating behavior and intent
❌ Assuming same behavior for edge cases ✅ Testing boundary conditions
❌ Ignoring performance characteristics ✅ Profiling and optimizing for target language

Convert code between programming languages while preserving functionality and semantics. Code Translation is an agent skill from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. Convert code between programming languages while preserving functionality and semantics.
Code Translation fits situations like: translating functions; modules between languages (Python; javaScript/TypeScript; migrating entire projects to a different language.
Run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill code-translation -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/code-translation in ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE) into .claude/skills/code-translation in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill code-translation -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/code-translation in ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE) into .agents/skills/code-translation in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill code-translation -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/code-translation, .gemini/skills/code-translation, .github/skills/code-translation and .opencode/skills/code-translation in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Code Translation is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Code Translation is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 3.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 12k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 7.7k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Code Translation: Fory Release (apache/fory, 4.6k stars), CodeQL Security Scan (trailofbits/skills, 7.4k stars), Fory Version Bump (apache/fory, 4.6k stars) and Fory Performance Optimization (apache/fory, 4.6k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
