What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f810550. 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

Fbtee Translate loads about 550 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 280 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~550

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 with fbtee

Complete every new translation in every supported locale unless the user requests a narrower scope.

  1. Find the project's translation scripts, editable catalog directories, and supported locales in its configuration and existing catalogs. Reuse its package manager, paths, and compiler options, including common strings and source directories.
  2. Run fbtee collect, then fbtee prepare-translations for all requested locales, using the project's scripts or equivalent commands. Edit the prepared translation files, not generated runtime catalogs.
  3. Before translating each locale, read its existing translations to match terminology, formal or informal address, capitalization, punctuation, and tone. Follow any project glossary or style guide. For a new locale, use the source context and project guidance to choose a consistent style.
  4. Translate every entry with "status": "new". Read the description and locate the phrase in source code using the collected source references to understand its UI context and dynamic values. Preserve placeholder names and markup tokens exactly. Use natural phrasing and the plural and gender variants required by the target language, following the existing catalog format and comparable entries.
  5. Remove "status": "new" only when the entire entry, including its variants, is complete. Preserve completed translations unless the user requests edits. If context is insufficient to resolve an ambiguity, leave the entry marked new and report the specific blocker.
  6. Run fbtee translate with the project's options and any existing translation checks. Inspect the editable catalog diff for unintended changes and verify that no "status": "new" entries remain in the requested locales, except reported blockers. Successful compilation alone does not prove completion. Report the locales completed and any unresolved entries; continue through all locales rather than stopping after a sample.
