Public Domain Epub Pipeline

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Maintaining public-domain book translation projects and EPUB pipeline templates in this repository
• Tasks that involve Translation

Example prompts

• “/public-domain-epub-pipeline”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Read AGENTS.md.
2. 2Before doing any repository task, read the relevant template/ files. The template is the source of truth; do not rely on memory or prior…
3. 3Read the repository README in the user's preferred language when available.
4. 4Read template/epub_pipeline/README.md.
5. 5For EPUB production, cover, book-info/frontmatter, assets, quality gates, random review, or release work, read the applicable common…
6. 6Select the matching language-pair template, for example French-to-English, Japanese-to-Spanish, English-to-Simplified-Chinese, or…
7. 7If a matching target-language framework exists under template/epub_pipeline/targets/{target}/, read it before translating.
8. 8Create the book project with books/scripts/create_book_project.py; it copies template/epub_pipeline/common into…
9. 9Write all book-specific source text, translations, QA, EPUB output, and metadata only inside the book project.
10. 10Run the workflow through source evidence, rights checks, research, trial translation, chapter translation, review, gates, EPUB production…
11. 11For translation, chapter review, random spot-check, reader feedback, and final artifact review, use…
12. 12Before EPUB production, run node scripts/publication_lint.js --target={target-language} --write-report inside the book project and fix all…

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

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npm
  • node
  • python

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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

Public Domain Epub Pipeline loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,723 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~59

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~4.6k

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

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 1,723 words (~4,565 tokens).
