How Translation & localisation skills are built
765 skill directories by 313 authors, read from their repositories’ own file trees 2026-08-05
The middle bundle among those shipping files is 3 files, 13.7 KB beside SKILL.md
Counted by distinct author, same as above, so one author publishing forty template copies counts once. SKILL.md itself is not counted as a file, so a single-file skill is one where that file is the whole skill.
