What it does

Resx Translation is an agent skill from DaxStudio/DaxStudio. Procedure for generating translations for DAX Studio resource files. Use when creating or updating translations for target languages (es, fr, de, zh-Hans, ja).

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 Writing & Content, covering Translation. The repository describes itself as: DAX Studio is a tool to write, execute, and analyze DAX queries in Power BI Desktop, Power Pivot for Excel, and Analysis Services Tabular.

When your agent uses it

  • Updating translations for target languages (es
  • Tasks that involve Translation

Example prompts

  • “/resx-translation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the English base .resx file (e.g., Strings.resx)
  2. For each entry, translate the element
  3. Write the translated entries to the language-specific file (e.g., Strings.es.resx)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a4add2e. 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 xml).

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • w3.org

    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

Resx Translation loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 239 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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 239 words (~1,030 tokens).
