Translate Subtitles

by JimLiu in JimLiu/baocut

用户要把视频的转写或字幕翻译成另一种语言、做双语字幕,或更新原文改动后过期的译文时用:逐句翻译写成视频里的译文文档,再放到画面上、按需导出。有媒体时「翻译」默认指字幕翻译。不用于翻译与视频无关的文章、文档或一段纯文本;对话里没有视频或字幕、又看不出指的是什么时先问一次。

What it does

Translate Subtitles is an agent skill from JimLiu/baocut. 用户要把视频的转写或字幕翻译成另一种语言、做双语字幕,或更新原文改动后过期的译文时用:逐句翻译写成视频里的译文文档,再放到画面上、按需导出。有媒体时「翻译」默认指字幕翻译。不用于翻译与视频无关的文章、文档或一段纯文本;对话里没有视频或字幕、又看不出指的是什么时先问一次。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9ccb7be. 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.

    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

Translate Subtitles loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 213 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 213 words (~1,134 tokens).
