## Skills

- [Use Smartling from your AI assistant](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/smartling/skills/essentials.md): A practical guide to using the Smartling connector: confirm the account and project first, find jobs, glossaries and issues without flooding the chat, and get your approval before any translation work changes.
- [Check glossary consistency in Smartling](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/smartling/skills/glossary-consistency-check.md): Compares your Smartling glossary against source strings or a draft translation to find missing, inconsistent or wrongly rendered terms, and proposes fixes. It only proposes changes and asks before writing anything.
- [Triage open Smartling translation jobs with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/smartling/skills/localisation-job-triage.md): Reviews open translation jobs and issues to find what is stuck, overdue or blocked, and sorts them into what needs a decision today. It only reads and never changes a job without asking first.
- [Prepare a Smartling translation brief for new content](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/smartling/skills/new-content-translation-brief.md): Checks your project, locales, glossary and source strings, then drafts a translation job for new content. It asks before creating or authorising anything.
- [Investigate a Smartling translation issue with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/smartling/skills/translation-issue-investigation.md): Works through one reported translation issue by reading its comments, job history and glossary, then classifies the root cause as source, glossary or translation. It asks before changing any asset.

### What is a Smartling agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Smartling skill describes one job, which Smartling tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the Smartling skills change anything on their own?

2 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Smartling.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Smartling; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the Smartling MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Smartling MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Smartling MCP setup guide covers every client.
