At a glance

Occasional i18n catch-up: strip unused en keys, then fill any uk translations that slipped through via i18n-editor subagents.

  • Works in 6 steps: Find unused en keys → Confirm and strip → Find missing translations → …
  • /i18n-before-release
  • Runs JavaScript scripts from its folder; calls node, git and npm
  • Fill missing translations

What it does

I18n Before Release is an agent skill from letehaha/moneymatter. Occasional i18n catch-up: strip unused en keys, then fill any uk translations that slipped through via i18n-editor subagents. Not a required release step – uk is translated alongside en during feature work, so this is a safety net. Trigger on "/i18n-before-release", "actualize i18n", "fill missing translations", "strip unused translation keys".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Internationalization and Translation. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, self-hosted budget tracker and personal finance app. Bank sync, multi-currency, investments, and a built-in MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • /i18n-before-release
  • Fill missing translations
  • Strip unused translation keys

Example prompts

  • “/i18n-before-release”
  • “actualize i18n”
  • “fill missing translations”
  • “/i18n-before-release”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Find unused en keys
  2. Confirm and strip
  3. Find missing translations
  4. Translate via i18n-editor subagents
  5. Verify
  6. Wrap up

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3bcd627. 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

    Ships script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node
    • git
    • npm

    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 npm, 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 Before Release loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 537 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
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
Occasional i18n catch-up: strip unused en keys, then fill any uk translations that slipped through via i18n-editor subagents. Not a required release step – uk is translated alongside en during feature work, so this is a safety net. Trigger on "/i18n-before-release", "actualize i18n", "fill missing translations", "strip unused translation keys".

Occasional i18n catch-up (a safety net, not a required release step – uk is translated alongside en during feature work): strip unused en keys, then fill any missing translations in the in-house translated locales. All key detection is done by .claude/skills/i18n-before-release/i18n-audit.mjs (run from repo root) — never parse or diff locale JSON files yourself, and never read locale files directly (a hook blocks them; only the i18n-editor subagent may touch them).

Steps

1. Find unused en keys
bash
node .claude/skills/i18n-before-release/i18n-audit.mjs unused

The report has two buckets:

  • UNUSED — the full key (with plural suffixes stripped) appears nowhere in packages/{frontend,backend}/src. Candidates for removal.
  • POSSIBLY DYNAMIC — only matched via dynamic key construction (template literals, 'prefix.' + concatenation). Treat these as used; do NOT review or strip them. Only mention the count.

Sanity-check the UNUSED bucket: pick ~5 keys from it and grep the codebase for each (search the full dotted path and the leaf segment). If any spot-check finds a real usage the script missed, STOP and report the gap to the user instead of stripping.

2. Confirm and strip

Show the user the UNUSED count and a compact list (key ids only), then ask via AskUserQuestion whether to strip all of them, skip stripping, or let them pick exclusions. On approval:

bash
# write approved ids (fe:/be: prefixed, one per line) to a scratchpad file, then:
node .claude/skills/i18n-before-release/i18n-audit.mjs strip --keys-file <scratchpad-file>
node .claude/skills/i18n-before-release/i18n-audit.mjs prune-extra

strip removes the keys from en and mirrors the removal into every other locale. prune-extra then drops any non-en keys/files that have no en counterpart.

3. Find missing translations
bash
node .claude/skills/i18n-before-release/i18n-audit.mjs missing

missing only ever reports the locales in the script's TRANSLATED_LOCALES set (uk). Every other locale — es, id, both Chinese variants, anything added later — is community-translated in Crowdin and is deliberately not our work. Never widen the pass to a locale the script omits, and never hand a subagent a locale code it didn't report.

If nothing is missing, skip to step 5.

4. Translate via i18n-editor subagents

Spawn one i18n-editor subagent per locale reported in step 3, in parallel (they edit disjoint file trees). Prompt for each:

This is an explicit pre-release bulk-translate pass into locale <code> — editing non-en locale files IS the assignment; treat en as read-only source. Run node .claude/skills/i18n-before-release/i18n-audit.mjs missing --json --locale <code> from the repo root to get your full work list: every missing key with its target file (frontend chunk path relative to packages/frontend/src/i18n/locales/chunks/<code>/, or packages/backend/src/i18n/locales/<code>.json for backend) and the en source value. Translate each value into <code> and insert it at the same key path, preserving {named} interpolation placeholders, @: linked-message references, and vue-i18n | plural separators verbatim in structure. Read files with cat -n (Read tool is hook-blocked), edit with Edit, validate JSON after. Report a per-file count of added keys.

Translation quality notes: match the tone of existing translations in the same file; domain terms (account, transaction, portfolio, holding) should reuse the wording already established in that locale.

5. Verify
bash
node .claude/skills/i18n-before-release/i18n-audit.mjs missing

Must print "All locales are complete". If keys remain, re-spawn the affected locale's subagent once with the remaining list; if it still fails, report which keys are stuck instead of retrying further. (This run also re-parses every locale file, so it doubles as JSON validation.)

6. Wrap up

Report: keys stripped, keys pruned, keys translated per locale. Remind the user to review git diff, commit themselves (never commit for them), and run npm run i18n:crowdin:upload to sync translations to Crowdin.
