BC openclaw-i18n
Internationalization and localization layer for OpenClaw. Auto-detects language, enforces correct diacritics, formats dates/currency per locale, and pipes output through a post-processing cleaner. Supports Romanian and German at launch.
As a process C 59/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: when it triggers, inputs and preconditions, consistency
How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
For the model run — optional
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
description-no-whendescription does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when") - note
frontmatter-keyunknown frontmatter key "homepage"
Process rating: all ten parameters 59/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (openclaw-i18n) differs from the folder (openclaw-i18n-skill)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 100Steps. 38 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 2 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1765 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

External checks
ClawHub: suspicious
This appears to be a real localization skill, but it needs Review because it can silently rewrite every assistant response and its scope is broader than consistently advertised.
