What it does

Localization is an agent skill from bagofwords1/bagofwords. The locale/i18n architecture of bagofwords — catalogs, resolution order, RTL, backend contracts — and the procedures for adding strings, adding a locale, or translating UI. Use when adding/changing user-facing strings, working on RTL, emails, localized errors, or anything locale-related.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Frontend & Design, covering Internationalization and Translation. The repository describes itself as: Chat with your data - with memory, rules, and observability built in. Deploy in 2 minutes.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding/changing user-facing strings
  • Localized errors
  • Anything locale-related

Example prompts

  • “/localization”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. X-Locale request header — test-only override; must be in enabled_locales.
  2. Per-user choice — localStorage["bow.locale"] on the client.
  3. Organization locale — OrganizationSettings.config["locale"], set via
  4. System default — bow_config.i18n.default_locale (en).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ed624e0. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Localization loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 564 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 564 words (~1,495 tokens).

“Authoritative deep-dive: docs/design/i18n.md. This skill is the working map.”
