What it does
I18n Context is an agent skill from cataclysmbn/Cataclysm-BN. Add gettext context for ambiguous user-facing strings and repair affected PO translations.
Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires git, rg, gettext tools, and Python.
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Internationalization and Translation. It works with C++. The repository describes itself as: Cataclysm: Bright Nights: A fork/variant of Cataclysm:DDA by CleverRaven with a mod registry at https://mods.cataclysmbn.org/.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Internationalization
- Tasks that involve Translation
Example prompts
- “/i18n-context”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires git, rg, gettext tools, and Python.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a6beaef. 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:
rgpython3
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.
Compatibility
Requires git, rg, gettext tools, and Python.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
I18n Context loads about 580 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 264 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.
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 264 words (~580 tokens).
“Use this when one English msgid has multiple meanings and a locale needs different translations.”
