What it does

Translate Docs is an agent skill from MoonshotAI/kimi-code. Translate and sync bilingual user documentation between docs/zh/ and docs/en/ following the source-of-truth rules in docs/AGENTS.md.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 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 and Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: Kimi Code CLI — The Starting Point for Next-Gen Agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Translation
  • Tasks that involve Agent instruction files

Example prompts

  • “/translate-docs”

Requirements

  • A credential in YOUR_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Detect what needs syncing
  2. Translate page by page, section by section
  3. Apply terminology and typography rules from docs/AGENTS.md
  4. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0f052fe. 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
    • pnpm

    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 pnpm, 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

Translate Docs loads about 976 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 510 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~976

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.

Translate Docs

Overview

This repository keeps bilingual user documentation under docs/zh/ and docs/en/. This skill synchronizes the two locales, page by page, after either side has been updated.

This skill is invoked by both gen-docs (incremental updates) and audit-docs (full pre-release audit) to keep locale mirrors in sync.

Prerequisites

If any of the following are missing, stop and report to the user before continuing:

  • docs/zh/ and docs/en/ mirrored directory structure.
  • docs/AGENTS.md — terminology table, typography rules, and source-of-truth rules.

Locale sync rules

  • Changelog (release-notes/changelog.md): English is the source. Translate to Chinese.
  • Breaking changes (release-notes/breaking-changes.md): English is the source. Translate to Chinese.
  • All other pages: docs/en/ and docs/zh/ are mirrored pairs. After either side changes, update the other locale in the same change.

When non-changelog pages change in either locale, sync the mirror before release. When the English changelog changes, sync the Chinese changelog.

Workflow

  1. Detect what needs syncing

    • git diff main..HEAD --stat docs/ — see which files changed
    • For each changed file under docs/en/ or docs/zh/, locate its mirror in the other locale (same relative path).

  2. Translate page by page, section by section

    • Keep heading hierarchy, list structure, code blocks, callout blocks, and link targets identical between the two versions.
    • When in doubt about a technical term, read the actual code to confirm behavior rather than guessing.

  3. Apply terminology and typography rules from docs/AGENTS.md

    • Use the term table exactly. Do not invent translations or use synonyms.
    • English H2+ uses sentence case (proper nouns excepted, per the term table).
    • Chinese typography: full-width punctuation (，。；：？！（）), space between Chinese and ASCII (letters / numbers / inline code / links).
    • Callout titles (::: tip / ::: warning / ::: info / ::: danger) use the short Chinese labels from docs/AGENTS.md.

  4. Verify

    • git diff docs/ — scan for terminology drift or punctuation regressions.
    • Run the docs build if available (pnpm --filter docs run build or equivalent) to catch broken links and Markdown errors.

Rules and conventions

  • Do not one-sided fixes: if the changed locale has an unclear or incorrect statement, fix it there first; do not patch only the mirror.
  • Match style, not just words: Chinese docs use a narrative tone (see docs/AGENTS.md writing-style examples); preserve that tone in Chinese; preserve sentence-case headings and concise English style in English.
  • Code blocks and identifiers stay as-is: do not translate code, command names, flag names, or file paths.
  • Public examples: Do not introduce real internal endpoints, key names, account names, or service names while translating. Keep or replace them with neutral placeholders such as example.com, example.test, and YOUR_API_KEY in both locales.

Common mistakes

  • Rewriting only the mirror because a phrase feels awkward in the target language — fix the changed locale first, then sync.
  • Letting English headings slip into Title Case (only sentence case is allowed for H2+).
  • Forgetting to add spaces between Chinese characters and inline code or English words.
  • Translating proper nouns listed in the term table (Wire, MCP, ACP, JSON, OAuth, macOS, uv, etc.).
  • Updating only one direction and leaving the other locale stale — always finish all pages flagged by the diff.
  • Copying real internal values into the mirror instead of using neutral example placeholders.
