What it does

Expert Translation Quality is an agent skill from SaberOnGo/public-domain-books-translation. Use when translating, reviewing, revising, random-spot-checking, or responding to reader feedback for LifeBook book projects where the output must reach expert publication quality rather than merely pass. Triggers include polysemous or context-dependent source words, ambiguous grammar, downstream-context back-checking, expert-level prose polish, chapter post-translation controls, final release reviews, private-use artifact reviews, and any translation-quality issue that requires source-supported disambiguation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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 Writing & Content, covering Translation. The repository describes itself as: Public domain books translation project.

When your agent uses it

  • Context-dependent source words

Example prompts

  • “/expert-translation-quality”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Orient Before Translating / 先定向再翻译
  2. Preserve Ambiguity Until Context Resolves It / 未决歧义先保留
  3. Run The Expert Pass / 执行专家级复核
  4. Record Machine-Readable Closure / 记录机器可读闭环
  5. Backfill Reusable Lessons / 回填可复用经验

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0964bfd. 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

Expert Translation Quality loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 815 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~136
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 815 words (~1,934 tokens).

“Use this skill as the execution procedure for making a translation excellent, not merely acceptable. 使用本 skill,把译文推进到专家级出版质量,而不是“基本可读”“合格”或“良好”。”
