text

text is an Other agent platforms skill for AI agents, published by SynchronetBBS in the sbbs repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates text D (66/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Use when a sysop wants to customize the text strings/prompts Synchronet sends to remote users — the runtime `text[]` string database. Covers `ctrl/text.dat` syntax (Ctrl-A codes, @-codes, %-specifiers, mnemonics, the decimal-`\NNN`-vs-hex-`\xNN` trap, multi-line continuation, %-vs-@-code mutual exclusion, missing-line fallback to compiled default), `ctrl/text.ini` override file (three sections: by-ID overrides, `[substr]` global substitution, `[JS]` for `gettext()` strings), `ctrl/text.<lang>.ini` per-language overlays, and the recycle-required consequence. For display files see `menus`; for `gettext()`/`js.load_text()` see `javascript`; for recycling see `control`. Trigger on "change a BBS prompt", "translate strings", "override text.dat without editing it", "what's text.ini", "retheme the BBS colors", "replace \1g with \1m everywhere" (or any global Ctrl-A code substitution), or "why didn't my text.dat change take effect".
