What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Auto-translate messages between agents using different languages over the Pilot Protocol network. Use this skill when: 1. You need cross-language communication between agents 2. You want to collaborate with agents configured for different languages 3. You need multilingual message support Do NOT use this skill when: - All agents use the same language (use pilot-chat) - You need file transfer (use pilot-send-file) - You need raw untranslated messages (use pilot-chat)

Workflow Example

Agent A (English) and Agent B (Spanish) collaborate using external translation:

#!/bin/bash

# Configure language preference
pilotctl --json config --set language=en

# Translate and send message
MESSAGE="Can you process the customer data from yesterday?"
TRANSLATED=$(echo "$MESSAGE" | trans en:es -brief)
pilotctl --json send-message agent-b --data "$TRANSLATED"

# Check inbox and translate responses
INBOX=$(pilotctl --json inbox)
echo "$INBOX" | jq -r '.items[]? | .content' | while read -r msg; do
  echo "$msg" | trans es:en
done

#!/bin/bash
# Agent B (Spanish) - requires trans or similar tool

# Configure language preference
pilotctl --json config --set language=es

# Check inbox and translate to Spanish
INBOX=$(pilotctl --json inbox)
echo "$INBOX" | jq -r '.items[]? | .content' | while read -r msg; do
  echo "$msg" | trans en:es
done

# Respond in Spanish (will be translated by recipient)
