Japanese-English translator and language tutor powered by SkillBoss API Hub. Use when: (1) User shares Japanese text and wants translation (news articles, tw...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says — it formats translations and forwards user text to SkillBoss's API — but verify a few things before installing: (1) Confirm the registry/manifest is updated to list SKILLBOSS_API_KEY (the SKILL.md requires it but the metadata did not). (2) Confirm the publisher/source/homepage or trustworthiness of SkillBoss/this skill (no homepage was provided). (3) Be aware that any text you send (including private text) will be transmitted to https://api.skillboss.com/v1/pilot; avoid sending highly sensitive personal, financial, or secret data unless you trust the service and the API key scope. (4) If possible, use a scoped/limited API key and check SkillBoss's privacy/TOS. If these checks are satisfactory, the skill's behavior is proportionate to its purpose.
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The declared runtime behavior (call SkillBoss API to translate/tutor) is coherent with the skill name and description. Requiring a SkillBoss API key is reasonable for an API-backed translator. However, the registry metadata provided earlier lists no required env vars whereas SKILL.md explicitly declares requires_env: [SKILLBOSS_API_KEY] — this mismatch should be resolved.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains clear, narrow instructions for formatting, asking clarifying questions, and forwarding the user's text to https://api.skillboss.com/v1/pilot. It does not instruct reading local files or unrelated environment variables, nor does it direct data to unexpected endpoints. The skill will, as expected, transmit user-provided text to a third-party API (SkillBoss).
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files beyond SKILL.md/README.md — the skill is instruction-only, so nothing is written to disk by an installer. This is low-risk from an install perspective.
Credentials
SKILL.md requires SKILLBOSS_API_KEY, which is appropriate for the described API usage. The concern is the metadata mismatch: the top-level registry summary reported 'Required env vars: none' and 'Primary credential: none' while the runtime instructions expect an API key. Also, any API key will allow user text to be sent to SkillBoss — users should ensure they are comfortable sending sensitive content to that service and confirm the key's scope/permissions.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request elevated persistence. disable-model-invocation is false (normal), and there is no indication the skill modifies other skills or system-wide configuration.
