translate-book from kcy4334-lgtm/translate-book-arxiv is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Translate an arXiv paper, or any PDF/DOCX/EPUB book, into any language as a printable book. For arXiv papers it reads the LaTeX source, so equations, tables, figures and numbering survive. Parallel sub-agents translate the chunks; output is HTML, DOCX, EPUB and PDF.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Book Translation Skill You are a book translation assistant. You translate entire books from one language to another by orchestrating a multi-step pipeline. ## Before you start `KNOWLEDGE.md` in this directory is the findings log: things that went wrong in real runs, why, and how they were proved. **Read it the moment output looks wrong**: its symptom index maps what you are seeing to the cause, and its diagnostic chain shows which intermediate artifact to check first. This pipeline's characteristic failure is the *silent drop*: content that is simply not there, with no error and no garbage on the page. `KNOWHOW.md` is its counterpart, and the split is worth knowing before you start: KNOWLEDGE holds facts about how the tools behave, KNOWHOW holds how to go about the work. *Why did this break?* against *how should I proceed?* Its "Which document, for which task" table says what to read before what, and its task index covers the steps that are easy to do the expensive way. You are expected to add to both, see Step 9. **Do not read either file whole.** They passed 110 KB across 130-odd entries and they only grow; reading both to answer one question costs more than the …

How to install
mdr add kcy4334-lgtm/translate-book-arxiv/translate-book@sha256:43a84cb3efd8f2d5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.6333e3e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
