The AI skills in Plus

Skills for coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, which put the book's checklists to work on your own codebase. You install them with one command.

  • /internationalise-audit

    Audits a codebase for everything the book covers, and reports each problem with its file, line and the chapter to read.

  • /internationalise

    Makes an app translatable and locale-aware, one phase of the playbook at a time.

  • /localise

    Gets an internationalised app ready for one region: formats, currency, tax, addresses, layout and hreflang.

  • /extract-translation-strings

    Moves hardcoded text into your translation files as whole sentences with proper plurals.

  • /pseudolocalise

    Runs your app in a fake, longer, right-to-left language and reports what broke.

  • /rtl-check

    Reads your code and reports what will break in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu.

  • /timezone-review

    Follows dates and times from input to storage, display, jobs and emails, and reports where they change meaning.

  • /form-review

    Reviews one form end to end and proposes what it should ask in each country you serve.

  • /check-translations

    Checks translation files against the source language: missing and extra keys, placeholders dropped or renamed, broken ICU syntax, the wrong plural forms for the language, strings left in English, text likely to clip, and punctuation that doesn't suit the locale.

  • /translator-brief

    Drafts a translator brief, glossary and style guide for one locale from your codebase and product, using the book's templates.

  • /l10n-vocabulary

    The book's glossary as a reference your agent can use, so you can both name things precisely.

For teams

Buy a seat for everyone doing the work, then hand the seats out by email. The seats belong to your company, so when someone leaves you can give theirs to someone else. Teams get 25% off at 3 seats or more and 50% off at 10 seats or more. Every purchase comes with an invoice, and you can add your company's tax ID at checkout.

Team seats are available at launch.

Give it as a gift

Buy a copy for someone else. We'll email them a link to claim it, and if they never do, you can send it to someone else from your account.

Gifts are available at launch.

Want your company to pay? Here's an email you can send your manager. Need to pay by bank transfer, or buying for more than 500 people? Get in touch and we'll send an invoice.
