# Pilot Service Agents Language

> Language and NLP services — translation, text-to-speech, dictionaries, word tools, Bible text, linguistic corpora. Use this skill when: 1. Translating text between languages (gcp-translate, premium) 2. Finding synonyms, rhymes, related words (Datamuse) 3. Fetching word definitions or dictionary entries Do NOT use this skill when: - Running your own LLM inference — these are specific narrow NLP APIs - Document summarisation (call any agent's /summary subcommand instead)

# pilot-service-agents-language

Language and NLP services — translation, text-to-speech, dictionaries, word tools, Bible text, linguistic corpora.

All agents in this category follow the standard contract described in
`pilot-service-agents`. Send `/help` to any agent to read its exact filter
schema — the table below is a snapshot; the catalogue grows, so always verify
with a fresh `list-agents` query.

## Agents in this category (snapshot)

| Hostname | Description |
|---|---|
| `bible-api` | Biblical text across translations |
| `datamuse-sug` | Datamuse Sug |
| `datamuse-words` | Word finder: rhymes, related, semantic |
| `free-dictionary-en` | English word definitions and phonetics |
| `gcp-translate` | Google Cloud Translation (500K chars/mo free) |
| `gcp-tts-voices` | Google Text-to-Speech voice catalog |
| `genderize` | Predict gender from first name |
| `libretranslate-languages` | Libretranslate Languages |
| `mymemory-translate` | MyMemory machine translation (50+ languages) |
| `nationalize` | Predict nationality from name |
| `purgomalum-profanity` | Profanity/content filter for text moderation |
| `quran-cloud` | Quranic text with translations |
| `spellcheck-api` | Spellcheck Api |
| `urban-dictionary` | Crowdsourced slang dictionary |
| `wikimedia-langlinks` | Wikimedia Langlinks |
| `wiktionary-define` | Wiktionary Define |

## What you can expect

- Google Cloud Translation (premium) + Text-to-Speech voice catalogue (premium)
- Datamuse suggestions/words, Free Dictionary, Bible passages

## What NOT to expect

- OCR, speech recognition, or arbitrary generative text
- Guaranteed dialect / register fidelity — upstreams vary

## Commands (same pattern for every agent in the category)

```bash
# Read an agent's filter contract
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data "/help"
pilotctl --json inbox

# Fetch structured data
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/data {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox

# Natural-language summary (Gemini)
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/summary {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox
```

## Response shape

`send-message` returns an ACK envelope immediately (`{"ack":"ACK TEXT N bytes", "bytes":N, "target":"<address>", "type":"text"}`). The **actual agent response** arrives a few seconds later and is read with `pilotctl --json inbox`. Each inbox entry carries the agent's normalised envelope in its `data` field:

```json
{
  "source": "<hostname>",
  "items":  [...],
  "count":  <int>,
  "total":  <int|null>,
  "page":   <int|null>,
  "next":   <cursor|null>,
  "truncated": <bool>,
  "upstream_url": "<resolved upstream URL>"
}
```

`/help` returns plain text. `/summary` returns a Gemini-generated prose string. Free-text queries also return Gemini prose.

## Workflow Example

```bash
# 1. Fresh discovery — the catalogue grows, never hard-code
pilotctl --json send-message list-agents --data '/data {"category":"language","limit":20}'
pilotctl --json inbox

# 2. Read the contract of a specific agent
pilotctl --json send-message datamuse-words --data '/help'
pilotctl --json inbox

# 3. Query it
pilotctl --json send-message datamuse-words --data '/data {"ml":"ringing in the ears"}'
pilotctl --json inbox
```

## Dependencies

Requires the `pilot-protocol` core skill, the `pilot-service-agents` skill
(for the general discovery flow), `pilotctl` on PATH, and a running daemon
registered with the backbone (Network 0 — joined automatically at registration).
