What it does

I18n Validate is an agent skill from digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework. Validate translation completeness and consistency across all locale files — detect missing keys, untranslated strings, format mismatches, and glossary violations.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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: Turns AI coding tools into reliable software delivery systems. Drop a .gaai/ folder into any project — Discovery defines what to build, Delivery executes autonomously until…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Internationalization
  • Tasks that involve Translation

Example prompts

  • “/i18n-validate”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Missing Translations
  2. Orphaned Keys
  3. Placeholder Consistency
  4. Length Budget
  5. JSON Syntax
  6. Glossary Alignment

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a26ea7a. 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 json and 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

I18n Validate loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 395 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
~2.4k

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 395 words (~2,426 tokens).

“Validate i18n JSON files for completeness, consistency, and quality across multiple languages. Catch missing translations, orphaned keys, placeholder mismatches, and length violations before deployment.”
