Pencil Language Pack Installer
Copies a localized harness pack and skill files from .claude/skills/pencil-lang-pack/{lang}/
into the project, replacing the Korean-original directories with translated versions.
Version
| Lang Pack | Based On | Harness Version |
|---|
en | Korean original (v2.5.1) | v2.5.1 |
Warning: The Korean version (harness/) is the actively developed original.
Language packs are snapshots translated at a specific version and may lag behind
the latest Korean version. After installing a language pack, check harness.config.json
in the Korean original to compare versions. If the Korean version has been bumped
beyond the language pack version, some evaluation rules or RPG features may differ.
Available Languages
| Code | Language | Harness Pack | Skills Pack |
|---|
en | English | .claude/skills/pencil-lang-pack/en/harness/ | .claude/skills/pencil-lang-pack/en/skills/ |
To add a new language, create a {lang-code}/ directory under .claude/skills/pencil-lang-pack/
with harness/ and skills/ subdirectories following the same structure as en/.

Workflow
Step 1: Show available languages and version info
Available language packs:
- en (English) — based on v2.5.1
⚠️ The Korean version is the actively developed original.
This language pack is a translated snapshot and may not
reflect the latest changes in the Korean version.
Which language pack would you like to install?
If only one language exists, confirm with the user rather than auto-selecting.
Step 2: Confirm before overwriting
Before copying, warn the user about what will be overwritten:
This will install the "{lang}" language pack (v2.5.1):
Harness:
Source: .claude/skills/pencil-lang-pack/{lang}/harness/
Target: harness/
Skills:
Source: .claude/skills/pencil-lang-pack/{lang}/skills/
Target: .claude/skills/ (harness-creator, harness-usage, pencil-deploy, pencil-design)
Changes:
- Harness rules, agents, engine will be replaced with {lang} translations
- Skills (4 files) will be replaced with {lang} versions
- RPG level will be reset to Lv.1
- Achievements will be initialized to empty
- Existing evaluation logs (harness/logs/yyyy-mm-dd-*.md) will NOT be touched
⚠️ The Korean version (harness/) is the actively developed original.
This pack is based on v2.5.1 and may not include recent updates.
Backups will be created:
harness → harness-backup-{date}/
skills → .claude/skills/{name}-backup-{date}/
Proceed? (y/n)
Wait for explicit user confirmation before proceeding.
Step 3: Backup current files
cp -r harness harness-backup-{YYYY-MM-DD}
For skills, back up only the 4 affected skill directories:
for skill in harness-creator harness-usage pencil-deploy pencil-design; do
cp -r .claude/skills/$skill .claude/skills/${skill}-backup-{YYYY-MM-DD}
done
Step 4: Copy the language pack
Copy harness files:
cp -r .claude/skills/pencil-lang-pack/{lang}/harness/* harness/
Copy skill files:
for skill in harness-creator harness-usage pencil-deploy pencil-design; do
cp .claude/skills/pencil-lang-pack/{lang}/skills/$skill/SKILL.md .claude/skills/$skill/SKILL.md
done
Step 5: Verify and report
After copying, verify the key files exist and report:
Language pack "{lang}" (v2.5.1) installed successfully!
Harness:
- Language: {lang}
- Version: v2.5.1
- Level: Lv.1 (reset)
- Achievements: 0 (reset)
Skills updated:
- harness-creator
- harness-usage
- pencil-deploy
- pencil-design
Backups:
- harness-backup-{date}/
- .claude/skills/{name}-backup-{date}/ (×4)
⚠️ This pack is based on Korean v2.5.1.
To check for newer Korean versions: cat harness-backup-{date}/harness.config.json | grep version
To restore: cp -r harness-backup-{date}/* harness/
Step 6: Update config paths
The copied harness.config.json may reference harness/ paths.
Verify that all paths in the config point to harness/ (not harness-en/ or other prefixes).
If any paths are incorrect, fix them in place.
Important Notes
- Always use relative paths from the project root for all copy operations
- The language pack resets RPG progress (Lv.1, empty achievements) — this is intentional
so each language starts fresh
- The
docs/ directory (version history) is not included in language packs;
those remain Korean-only in the original harness
- Existing evaluation log files are preserved since the pack doesn't overwrite them
- Version drift: If the Korean harness has been updated beyond v2.5.1,
the language pack will be outdated. Users should check the Korean version periodically
and request an updated language pack translation when needed
