Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned f/prompts.chat at f78a1c5136.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The book-translation skill enables AI agents to translate entire books or lengthy text documents from one language to another, preserving context, tone, and formatting where possible. It supports multiple languages and is optimized for handling large volumes of text efficiently.

When to use it

  • Translating a full book or long article into another language for international distribution.
  • Preparing multilingual versions of technical manuals or documentation.
  • Converting literary works into different languages while maintaining the original style and nuances.

Key capabilities

  • Translation of large text documents (e.g., books, articles).
  • Support for multiple source and target languages.
  • Preservation of formatting and structure in translated content.

Example prompts

  • "Translate this book from English to Spanish, keeping the chapter headings intact."
  • "Convert the entire document into French while maintaining the original tone."
  • "Translate the provided text into German, ensuring technical terms are accurately rendered."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure that the source text is properly formatted and free of errors before translation for best results.
  • Some nuances in literary or highly specialized content may require post-editing by a human to maintain accuracy and fluency.
