A skill your agent uses when updating Lingui catalogs or fixing translations

  • Updating Lingui catalogs
  • SKILL.md covers Core rules, Translation updates and Verification
  • Calls pnpm
  • Fixing translations

What it does

I18n is an agent skill from d-kimuson/claude-code-viewer. Use when updating Lingui catalogs or fixing translations

Its SKILL.md is about 240 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 Translation and Internationalization. The repository describes itself as: A full-featured web-based Claude Code client that provides complete interactive functionality for managing Claude Code projects. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Updating Lingui catalogs
  • Fixing translations

Example prompts

  • “/i18n”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9367cf0. 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:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, 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

I18n loads about 243 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 96 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~15
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~243

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.

Core rules

  • English (en) is the source catalog. Do not alter keys; only update translations.
  • Preserve placeholders and ICU syntax exactly (e.g., {name}, {count, plural, one {...} other {...}}).
  • Keep technical terms in English when appropriate (API, TypeScript, React).

Translation updates

  • Update src/lib/i18n/locales/{locale}/messages.json only; do not edit compiled outputs by hand.
  • Use ./scripts/put-transtation.js to safely update a specific entry without loading the full file into context.

Verification

  • Run pnpm lingui:extract when new messages are added.
  • Run pnpm lingui:compile to regenerate compiled catalogs.
  • Run scripts/lingui-check.sh to verify no missing translations.
  • Run scripts/i18n-check-key-equals-translation.sh to ensure key != translation in all locales.
