The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 4

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Read docs/translation-playbook.md and docs/localization.md completely.

    line 8
  2. Distinctive:

    Use a fresh model context to critique meaning, naturalness, glossary consistency, and sensitive strings.

    line 17
  3. Very specific:

    Add the locale to AppLanguage, the Appearance label map, picker-label resources, locales_config.xml, and AppLanguageTest.

    line 25
  4. Very specific:

    Keep the registry at ai-translated until a fluent review PR is recorded.

    line 27
  5. Very specific:

    Run the locale validator, both flavor compilations, and Android lint as documented in docs/localization.md.

    line 28
  6. Distinctive:

    Keep one locale per commit.

    line 31

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Translate Android locale

  1. Read docs/translation-playbook.md and docs/localization.md completely.
  2. Prepare a non-shipping draft:

    python scripts/android-locale-harness.py prepare <bcp47-tag> "<native name>"
  3. Translate both draft catalogs under build/i18n/<tag>/ in semantic batches. Protect resource identifiers, XML, markup, escapes, and placeholders.
  4. Use a fresh model context to critique meaning, naturalness, glossary consistency, and sensitive strings. Apply justified corrections.
  5. Install only after the draft is complete:

    python scripts/android-locale-harness.py install <bcp47-tag>
  6. Add the locale to AppLanguage, the Appearance label map, picker-label resources, locales_config.xml, and AppLanguageTest.
  7. Keep the registry at ai-translated until a fluent review PR is recorded.
  8. Run the locale validator, both flavor compilations, and Android lint as documented in docs/localization.md.

Keep one locale per commit. Do not mix signing, version, or release changes into translation commits. Apply later corrections to the canonical locale catalog and preserve contributor credit.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
