What it does

You are a book translation assistant. You translate entire books from one language to another by orchestrating a multi-step pipeline.

What it can touch

  • Includes 18 scripts

    Your AI can run these when the skill is used — on your computer in a coding tool (which asks first unless you have told it not to), or in the AI’s own sandbox in Claude and ChatGPT.

    How we know

    Found in the skill’s folder: scripts/calibre_html_publish.py, scripts/chunk_context.py, scripts/convert.py, scripts/glossary.py…; binary files: tests/baselines/diligent-dick/diligent-dick.epub, tests/baselines/sleepy-hollow/sleepy-hollow.epub.

  • Uses terminal commands

    It shows your AI commands to run. In a coding agent that means your terminal; in a chat app it usually can’t.

    How we know

    The SKILL.md contains shell code blocks.

  • Lets your AI run any terminal command without asking, while the skill is in use

    While the skill is working, Claude Code will not stop to ask before each terminal command. The permission ends when you send your next message.

    How we know

    SKILL.md line 1: “allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, Agent, AskUserQuestion”. Read 2026-10-05, commit bd5424b.

  • Partly checked

    Launch7’s check could not read everything in this skill: 2 compiled program files it cannot read; 1 file too large to read. Nothing is known about the parts it skipped.

    How we know

    39 text files read; skipped files are listed by name only. Read 2026-10-05, commit bd5424b.

  • Recently maintained

    Its repository has had changes recently.

    How we know

    Last push to deusyu/translate-book: 2026-09-24 (11 days before the scan).

Read automatically from the skill’s own files on GitHub on 5 Oct 2026. Launch7 does not run or manually review skills: this lists what the check saw, and nothing here means “safe”. How we check

Add it to your AI

Partly. Upload it in Claude’s settings — the instructions work; the scripts need the full folder.

  1. Built in your browser from the SKILL.md on GitHub — nothing passes through Launch7.

  2. In Claude, open Customize → Skills, press +, then Create skill → Upload a skill, and choose the .zip.

  3. Make sure code execution is switched on (Settings → Capabilities). Skills need it.

  4. Start a new chat and ask for the job in your own words — Claude picks the skill up when it fits.

This skill ships 18 scripts beside its instructions. The download here is the SKILL.md alone — enough for the instructions, not for the parts that run code. Use the command route, or take the full folder from the repository.
