What it does

Cuimao Translator is an agent skill from Cuimao777/cuimao-translator. Translate English PDF books into natural Chinese with three quality modes. Preserves original meaning sentence-by-sentence while producing fluent Chinese prose. Use this skill whenever the user wants to translate a PDF book, convert English books to Chinese, localize English content into Chinese, or mentions "翻译", "汉化", "英译中", "PDF翻译", "精翻", "速译" in the context of PDF or document translation. Also triggers for "translate this book", "帮我翻译这本", "汉化这个PDF", or any task where English PDF content needs to become…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/glossary-en-zh.md` and `references/refined-workflow.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Translation and PDF. The repository describes itself as: 一键将英文PDF翻译为流畅中文的Claude Code技能.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to translate a PDF book
  • Convert English books to Chinese
  • Localize English content into Chinese
  • 速译 in the context of PDF

Example prompts

  • “in the context of PDF or document translation. Also triggers for”
  • “帮我翻译这本”
  • “汉化这个PDF”
  • “/cuimao-translator”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Choose Mode & Style
  2. Pre-Translation Analysis
  3. Read & Translate
  4. Chunking Strategy for Books

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e734bd3. 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 (its code samples are yaml).

    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

Cuimao Translator loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 138 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,459 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~138
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~10k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,459 words (~3,178 tokens).

“Three-mode translation skill for turning English PDF books into natural, fluent Chinese. The core commitment is sentence-by-sentence fidelity — every sentence in the original must exist in the translation, with no meaning added or lost — while reading as if…”
