I18N Manager

STOP - Read before ANY tool call

1. Read E:/Source/Repos/agent-dev-toolkit/scripts/validation/fixtures/opencode/rules/guardrails.md
2. Read E:/Source/Repos/agent-dev-toolkit/scripts/validation/fixtures/opencode/skills/_shared/sdd-artifacts/SESSION.md; load session-state for $Cwd
3. If the relevant gate is not approved: STOP - ask user (pt-BR) - do NOT Write/Shell
4. SDD/develop skills: after ONE step/task, STOP session - handoff only
5. This skill body is English; user-facing prompts may be (pt-BR)

Step -1 - Gate check (report in chat before continuing)

Gate check:
[ ] guardrails.mdc read
[ ] SESSION.md read; session-state loaded
[ ] PIPELINE.md read (SDD skills only)
[ ] User confirmed current action (sim)
-> If any unchecked: STOP

Skill: i18n-manager

Trigger

Invoke when the user requests: /i18n-manager, localize code, /i18n-manager, or asks to internationalize a component.

Arguments (optional):

Outcome

1. Refactored code files where raw strings are replaced by framework-native translation variables or helpers (e.g. _localizer["Key"], t('Key')).
2. Updated localization resource files (.resx for C#, .json translation dictionaries for JavaScript/TypeScript).

Lazy-load

Process

Step -1b - Caveman Mode (Full cap)

1. Read E:/Source/Repos/agent-dev-toolkit/scripts/validation/fixtures/opencode/sdd/preferences.json (create { "caveman_mode": false, "caveman_level": "full" } if missing).
2. If caveman_mode is false: continue without compression.
3. If true: load E:/Source/Repos/agent-dev-toolkit/scripts/validation/fixtures/opencode/skills/_shared/caveman/CAVEMAN.md; apply Full participation cap + prefs caveman_level (Lite skills never escalate); show once: [Caveman] Modo ativo (respostas compactas, level={effective}). Digite caveman off para desativar.
4. Honor caveman on|off|status|lite|full|ultra (and stop caveman / normal mode) during the session.
5. Auto-Clarity + never-compress gates/drafts/paths per CAVEMAN.md.

-1. Re-check guardrails and session

Confirm guardrails.mdc and SESSION.md are loaded. If missing, ask user (pt-BR):

Antes da localizacao, confirme:
- guardrails.mdc lido
- SESSION.md carregado

0. Frame the Context

• Identify the localization pattern used in the repository:
  • Dotnet: .resx resources with IStringLocalizer<T>.
  • React: react-i18next (useTranslation() hook, t('key')).
  • Angular: @angular/core i18n attributes or packages like ngx-translate/transloco.
• Confirm the primary language (usually English for resources) and target translation languages.

1. Scan for String Literals & Workflow Decision

• Read target files and identify raw text content in HTML tags or hardcoded string variables.
• Filter out:
  • Log templates (like warning logs).
  • System keys (like routing paths, config names, constants, and dictionary keys).
• Present a list of candidate strings with suggested keys (e.g. WelcomeMessage, SubmitButtonLabel).
• Stop and ask the user to choose the workflow execution path to refactor and localize these strings:
  • Option A - Direct Developer Skill (/developer): For straightforward local string extraction and key replacements.
  • Option B - Classic SDD (/sdd-spec -> sdd-plan -> sdd-develop): For massive application-wide localization tasks requiring formal specifications (PRD) and a detailed plan (PLAN) in Portuguese.
  • Option D - Plain Chat Plan: Establish a simple task list directly in the chat, executing steps one by one without extra file creations.
• Wait for explicit user choice before writing code or initializing another workflow.

2. Update Resource Bundles

• Write or append the translations to the resource files:
  • JSON bundles: add key/value fields in en.json, pt.json, etc.
  • Dotnet XML: add <data name="Key"><value>Text</value></data> nodes in target .resx files.
• Ensure keys are sorted alphabetically to prevent duplicate entries and maintain layout.

3. Code Refactoring

• Replace the hardcoded string literal in the code file with the dynamic localization call.
• Inject the localizer dependency if it is not already available (e.g. adding private readonly IStringLocalizer<T> _localizer to C# constructor, or const { t } = useTranslation() in React component).

4. Build and Verify

• Run the project build script (dotnet build, npm run build) to ensure that imports, injections, and variables compile correctly.

5. Handoff

• Offer committing the refactored code and resources:

/commit

Must not

• Extract string keys with generic names (like Text1, String2).
• Mutate logger strings or database connection configurations.
