What it does

Internationalization is an agent skill from operately/operately. Maintain Operately translations when adding or changing user-visible copy, fixing missing translations, or adding a supported language. Covers shared Gettext/i18next catalogs, glossaries, generation, and completeness checks; excludes translating user-authored content or general prose outside the product.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/adding-a-language.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Translation and Internationalization. The repository describes itself as: The open source company operating system.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Translation
  • Tasks that involve Internationalization

Example prompts

  • “/internationalization”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a11131d. 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:

    • make

    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

Internationalization loads about 407 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 151 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~407
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

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 151 words (~407 tokens).

“Read the reference for the current task before making changes. Keep detailed workflows in the linked guide and skill reference.”
