AC translate-txt
Translate text files using OpenAI-compatible APIs (e.g. SiliconFlow, DeepSeek, OpenAI). Use when the user wants to: translate a txt file, translate text to Chinese or other languages, batch translate documents, or convert foreign language txt files to Chinese. Triggers: 翻译txt文件, 翻译文本, translate txt, translate file, 文件翻译, txt翻译.
As a process C 57/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, consistency
What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".
If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.
How to improve
- 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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 57/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (translate-txt) differs from the folder (smart-translate-txt)
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Steps. 30 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 5 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1890 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
- low The response is described with custom markup (3 tags): a typed call is more reliable
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.
