Sync Pensieve's Chinese development/release branch into the English main branch.

What it does

Pensieve Sync To Main is an agent skill from kingkongshot/Pensieve. Sync Pensieve's Chinese development/release branch into the English main branch. Use in the Pensieve repository when the user asks to sync zh or experimental to main, publish the English branch, translate Pensieve README/tool specs/templates/SKILL.md, or run the zh-to-main release flow. Do not use for ordinary project localization or generic i18n.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Internationalization and Translation. The repository describes itself as: tore your decisions and principles. Claude reads them to make better choices. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to sync zh
  • Experimental to main
  • Publish the English branch
  • Translate Pensieve README/tool specs/templates/SKILL.md

Example prompts

  • “/pensieve-sync-to-main”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm scope
  2. Create sync branch
  3. Translate
  4. Validate, commit, and open PR

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8731f61. 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:

    • git
    • rg
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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

Pensieve Sync To Main loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 459 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
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.

description
Sync Pensieve's Chinese development/release branch into the English main branch. Use in the Pensieve repository when the user asks to sync zh or experimental to main, publish the English branch, translate Pensieve README/tool specs/templates/SKILL.md, or run the zh-to-main release flow. Do not use for ordinary project localization or generic i18n.

Pensieve Sync to Main

Use only inside the Pensieve repository itself.

This skill syncs changes from experimental or zh into main, preserves contributor history, and ensures main remains the English release branch. This is a maintainer release flow, not a default pipeline that should be seeded into every Pensieve user project.

Hard Rules

  • main must remain English-only and release-grade.
  • Preserve source-branch commit history; do not squash contributor history unless the user explicitly asks.
  • Code logic must stay identical across language branches; only text content may differ.
  • Do not translate code identifiers, paths, protocol names, command names, frontmatter keys, or Markdown link targets unless the branch rules below explicitly require it.
  • When the worktree has unrelated local changes, do not run destructive git cleanup commands.

Branch Strategy

  • experimental: development branch
  • zh: Chinese release branch
  • main: English release branch

Default source branch is zh unless the user explicitly specifies experimental. Default remote is kingkongshot.

Translation Scope

Chinese content in these files must be translated into English:

  • README.md
  • SKILL.md
  • .src/references/*.md
  • .src/tools/*.md
  • .src/templates/**/*.md

These files are synced directly by default; translate only if user-visible Chinese appears on the English branch:

  • Scripts and code
  • JSON/YAML configuration
  • Deleted files
  • Binary assets

Workflow

1. Confirm scope
  1. Check current state:
    bash
    git branch --show-current
git status --short
git remote -v
  2. Confirm source branch:
    bash
    git fetch kingkongshot
git diff --stat main..kingkongshot/<source-branch>
  3. Classify changed files as: needs translation, direct sync, deletion, binary/config.
  4. If the worktree has unrelated local changes, report them before switching branches.
2. Create sync branch
  1. Start from latest main:
    bash
    git checkout main
git pull kingkongshot main
git checkout -b sync/zh-to-main-<date>[-topic]
  2. Merge the source branch to preserve history:
    bash
    git merge kingkongshot/<source-branch> -X theirs --no-edit
  3. If the user explicitly asks to sync only a few files, use targeted checkout:
    bash
    git checkout kingkongshot/<source-branch> -- <file>
  4. Resolve conflicts before translating.
Show full SKILL.md (221 more words)Show less
3. Translate

Rules:

  • Translate all Chinese prose into English.
  • Preserve Markdown structure, frontmatter, code blocks, command syntax, and HTML tags.
  • Preserve intentionally bilingual matching regexes, such as the Exploration Reduction compatibility check.
  • Installation commands in English-branch docs must use git clone -b main, not git clone -b zh.
  • English-branch language-switch links should point back to the Chinese README.
  • Translate Chinese strings in scripts only when they are user-visible on the English branch.

Validation:

bash
rg -n --pcre2 '\p{Han}' README.md SKILL.md .src docs

After translation, results may only include intentionally retained Chinese, such as language-switch links or bilingual regexes.

4. Validate, commit, and open PR
  1. Run checks that exist in the current repository:
    bash
    git diff --check
  2. Commit:
    bash
    git add -A
git commit -m "translate: sync <source-branch> to main"
  3. Push and create a PR:
    bash
    git push kingkongshot sync/zh-to-main-<date>[-topic]
gh pr create --repo kingkongshot/Pensieve --base main --head sync/zh-to-main-<date>[-topic]
  4. Unless the user explicitly delegated the full release flow, ask for confirmation before merging the PR.

Failure Fallback

  • Merge conflicts remain: stop, list conflict files, and resolve them directly. Prefer source-branch content, then translate.
  • Chinese remains after translation: inspect each item, translate it, or explain why it is intentionally retained.
  • Push rejected: fetch, rebase the sync branch onto latest kingkongshot/main, then retry.
  • GitHub CLI authentication fails: report the exact authentication error; do not switch to an unknown remote.
