packtrans-glossary-cli

name	packtrans-glossary-cli
description	Installs the packtrans-glossary query binary from GitHub releases into bin/, runs translation queries, and manages release indexes and Lindera dictionaries. Use when querying Minecraft mod glossaries, downloading the CLI without building, index dict/serve workflows.

Packtrans Glossary CLI

Query workflow using the prebuilt packtrans-glossary binary.

Install binary (skill bin/)

<skill-dir> is the directory containing this SKILL.md (e.g. skills/packtrans-glossary-cli or .agents/skills/packtrans-glossary-cli).

bash <skill-dir>/scripts/install-cli.sh

Installs to <skill-dir>/bin/ (same directory as this skill).

Supported release targets: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, aarch64-apple-darwin, x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.

Set CLI for commands below (use the same <skill-dir>):

CLI=<skill-dir>/bin/packtrans-glossary   # Unix
# CLI=<skill-dir>/bin/packtrans-glossary.exe  # Windows

Query translations

Release-managed index (automatically download from GitHub release; needs network):

# English → Chinese
$CLI query --lang zh_cn "Cooking Pot" --limit 10
# `--inverse` for Chinese → English
$CLI query --lang zh_cn "厨锅" --limit 10 --inverse
$CLI query --lang zh_cn "Cooking Pot" --json

Local index (--index-dir is the index root; language is appended):

$CLI query --index-dir indexes --lang zh_cn "Cooking Pot" --limit 20

Flag	Notes
--lang	Required (e.g. zh_cn, ja_jp)
--limit	Default 10
--inverse	Search target text (non-English), return source
--json	JSON array (same shape as serve)

Global flag (place before the subcommand, e.g. $CLI --dict-path /path query …):

Flag	Notes
--dict-path	Override Lindera dictionary location

Default data dir: ~/.local/share/packtrans-glossary/indexes/ (Unix, including macOS; $XDG_DATA_HOME/packtrans-glossary/indexes/ when set), %LOCALAPPDATA%\packtrans-glossary\indexes\ (Windows).

Manage release indexes

Will be automatically downloaded on first index query for corresponding languages.

$CLI index download --lang zh_cn
$CLI index upgrade --lang zh_cn
$CLI index ls
$CLI index delete --lang zh_cn
$CLI index clean

Layout: {data_dir}/meta.json and {data_dir}/{version}/{lang}/.

Dictionaries (CJK tokenization)

Will be automatically downloaded on first index query for languages like zh_cn, ja_jp, ko_kr, lzh:

$CLI dict download
$CLI dict download lindera-jieba
$CLI dict ls
$CLI dict delete lindera-jieba
$CLI dict clean

Names: lindera-ipadic, lindera-ko-dic, lindera-jieba.

Agent checklist

1. If <skill-dir>/bin/packtrans-glossary is missing, run <skill-dir>/scripts/install-cli.sh.
2. For release queries without --index-dir, ensure network; run index download --lang … if you need the index before querying.
3. For local indexes/ trees, pass --index-dir indexes (root, not indexes/zh_cn).
4. For any other commands not mentioned in this file, view help info with $CLI --help.
