Usage Guidance
This skill is a thin wrapper describing how to use the translate-shell ('trans') tool and is internally consistent. Before installing or using it: (1) correct the install step — run 'brew install translate-shell' (or follow the project's official install instructions); (2) be aware that translate-shell may send text to third-party translation backends (e.g., Bing) — do not translate sensitive secrets or private files unless you trust the service and network behavior; (3) examples in the SKILL.md contain minor typos (flags and characters) so test commands on a non-sensitive file first; (4) no credentials are requested by the skill itself, so there's no hidden credential exfiltration indicated. If you need the skill to operate entirely offline, confirm translate-shell's local-offline capabilities before using it with private data.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: mac-trans
Version: 1.0.1
The mac-trans skill provides instructions for an AI agent to use the legitimate 'translate-shell' command-line utility for text and file translation. The SKILL.md file outlines standard usage of the 'trans' command with the Bing engine and common Unix utilities like 'sed' and 'head', with no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or suspicious execution patterns.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (translate text or files) matches the SKILL.md: it documents use of the translate-shell 'trans' command to translate text or file contents. The operations shown (translating text, whole files, or selected lines) are coherent with the stated purpose. Minor mismatch: the installation snippet uses 'brew search translate-shell' rather than an actual install command (brew install), which is a usability/documentation error but not a security mismatch.
Instruction Scope
Instructions stay within the translation task: they show piping file contents (head/sed) into 'trans' or passing a file path to 'trans'. The skill does not instruct the agent to read unrelated system files or environment variables. Notes: there are typos/odd flags (e.g., 'head -b', full-width tilde '～') and the example uses 'trans -e bing' (meaning translate-shell will contact an external translation backend like Bing) — the SKILL.md does not discuss privacy/network behavior.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files, so there is no code download or archive extraction risk. The doc points users to Homebrew but only shows 'brew search' instead of a concrete 'brew install' command. Low install risk because nothing is written by the skill itself.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. That is proportionate for a simple translation helper. One caveat: the examples use a remote backend ('bing') — translating via external services may transmit file contents to third-party servers even though no credentials are requested; the skill does not disclose this.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false, autonomous invocation is allowed (the platform default). The skill does not request persistent presence or modify other skills or system configurations. No elevated privileges are requested.
