What is Skill Translator?

The Skill Translator is a dedicated utility within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem designed to bridge the language gap for developers and users. It automates the process of converting English or technical SKILL.md files into localized Chinese versions, ensuring that AI agent capabilities are accessible to a broader audience.

By targeting specific file paths, the tool intelligently parses the content, translates the descriptive text and metadata, and generates a standardized output file named SKILL(1).md. This ensures that the original documentation remains untouched while providing a clear, translated alternative in the same directory.

Skill Translator Use Cases

  • Developers looking to localize their Openclaw Skills for Chinese-speaking users.
  • Users who need to understand the technical specifications of a skill in their native language.
  • Automated workflows requiring bulk translation of agent documentation folders.
  • Maintaining consistent YAML frontmatter and Markdown syntax across translated documentation.

How Skill Translator Works

  1. The user provides a specific skill directory path containing a SKILL.md file.
  2. The tool reads the source file, identifying both the YAML frontmatter and the Markdown body.
  3. Content is translated into Chinese, specifically targeting the name and description fields in the metadata and the primary text in the body.
  4. A new file named SKILL(1).md is generated and saved in the original directory, preserving all original formatting and structural elements.

Skill Translator Setup

To use this tool within your environment, ensure you have the correct path to your Openclaw Skills directory. You can trigger the translation via a simple command:

# Example command to trigger translation
skill-translator --path "C:\Users\User\.agents\skills\target-agent-folder\"

Skill Translator Data Schema & Taxonomy

The Skill Translator manages data by interacting with standard Markdown files. The schema follows a strict input/output relationship:

File Name Role Notes
SKILL.md Source Must contain valid Markdown and YAML frontmatter.
SKILL(1).md Output The translated version created in the same folder.

Metadata Handling:

  • YAML Frontmatter: Keys are preserved; values for name and description are translated.
  • Markdown Elements: Tables, lists, and code blocks are maintained in their original structure.

Skill Translator Advanced Features

  • Smart replacement logic that prevents corruption of Markdown syntax during the translation process.
  • Automatic file collision management by overwriting existing SKILL(1).md files to ensure the latest version is always available.
  • Retention of technical identifiers and non-translatable technical strings within the Openclaw Skills framework.
