OpenSocrates 1.5.1 — Chinese and Japanese

OpenSocrates 1.5.1 — Simplified Chinese and Japanese

OpenSocrates 1.5.1 adds Simplified Chinese (zh) and Japanese (ja) reasoning
instructions to the existing English and Korean content. All 48 authored
methods have complete procedures and canonical examples in four languages:
192 procedure files and three teacher questions per method per language,
576 questions total. Individual methods, the bundle and the overlay advance to
content revision 4 while preserving the original English/Korean method text.

Localized content covers the four existing delivery profiles: Codex,
Claude Code on Apple-silicon Mac, the content-only Claude account skill, and
Antigravity workspace/global rules and skills. Language availability does not
prove host activation, complete reads or application in an actual answer.

Hosts and platforms

• Codex: Apple-silicon Mac and Windows x64; existing native runtime and hooks.
• Claude Code CLI / Desktop local Code: Apple-silicon Mac; bounded,
  stateless entry and complete installed references.
• Claude web / Desktop Chat / Cowork: executable-free account skill ZIP,
  exported on Mac or Windows; upload and activation remain separate account UI
  operations. The host model selects the skill and can miss it.
• Antigravity conversation application: Apple-silicon Mac and Windows x64;
  owned rule and skill in workspace or global scope.

This maintenance release is separate from v1.6.0 preparation. It adds no Windows
ARM64, native Windows Claude Code, Intel Mac or Linux native qualification.
Existing privacy, ownership, disabled-state preservation, rollback and fail-open
boundaries remain in place. The dated v1.5.0 host evidence remains historical;
translation and publication do not regrade its results.

Language selection

The retained selector prefers a trusted explicit language, then the stored
locale preference, then current-input script detection. Kana selects Japanese
before counts; otherwise dominant Hangul selects Korean and dominant Han
characters select Chinese. Latin-only, empty and tied inputs fall back to
English. Han-only text is ambiguous, so specify Japanese when needed. zh
provides Simplified Chinese, not a separate Traditional Chinese locale.

From the native Codex package root on Mac, use
bin/launch.sh locale codex get, bin/launch.sh locale codex set zh or set ja.
set follow or reset clears the preference. On Windows, use
node bin/launch.mjs locale codex get and the corresponding set/reset
commands. The retained SDK selector remains unavailable on Windows.

Stateless decision requests use their explicit JSON locale and read no stored
settings. Account/content packages use their matching guides and references.
Instruction language is separate from answer language, host UI and npm installer
messages. This release adds no installer --locale option.

and 한국어 안내.

Install or update

Use Node.js 20+. Native runtimes are bundled. On Windows use Windows PowerShell
on Windows 11 x64. The version-pinned installer downloads the selected archive
and checksum from this release:

npx --yes opensocrates@1.5.1 install --host codex
npx --yes opensocrates@1.5.1 status --host codex
# For an existing installation:
npx --yes opensocrates@1.5.1 update --host codex

Use install --host claude for the Mac native companion. For Antigravity use
install --host antigravity, adding --workspace with an existing absolute
directory for workspace scope or omitting it for global scope. The default and
--host all select Codex only. Review the host's real plugin/hook permissions
and start a fresh conversation after installation or changes.

Export account content to an absolute ZIP filename in an existing directory:

npx --yes opensocrates@1.5.1 export --host claude-chat --output /absolute/path/to/opensocrates-1.5.1-account.zip

Back up an existing OpenSocrates skill and its enabled state before replacing it.
Upload and enable the new ZIP in Claude's Customize > Skills interface, then add
the standing account instruction while preserving existing instructions.
Account export does not upload, activate or prove automatic skill use.
The setup guide
uses current commands and retains dated interface screenshots.
中文 README
and 日本語 README
include installation and language boundaries.

Assets, attribution and privacy

The release layout retains Codex Mac and Windows x64 archives, the Mac
opensocrates-1.5.1-claude-plugin.zip, portable
opensocrates-1.5.1-claude-chat-skills.zip and
opensocrates-1.5.1-antigravity-plugin.zip, with SHA-256 sidecars and inventories.
The portable content ZIPs have no native runtime or Windows suffix.

A final answer ends with the exact English line Powered by OpenSocrates only
when an eligible canonical method was fully read and actually applied to the
answer. The rule is the same in all four languages. Reader guidance alone and
mechanical work do not qualify; attribution is not proof of better results.

Language selection introduces no telemetry, credential collection, raw prompt or
transcript logging, screenshot retention or hidden-reasoning capture. Stateless
native entry and decision retrieval do not read private transcripts or initialize
a database. Host conversations remain governed by the host's authentication,
permissions, retention settings and terms. No universal answer-quality,
token-cost or latency improvement is claimed.

한국어

v1.5.1은 기존 영어·한국어에 간체 중국어(zh)와 일본어(ja)를 추가합니다.
사고 방법 48개마다 네 언어의 전체 절차와 정본 사례를 제공하며 전체 절차 파일은
192개, 방법·언어마다 교사 질문 3개씩 총 576개입니다. 개별 방법·번들·오버레이의
콘텐츠 리비전은 모두 4로 올라가며, 원래 영어·한국어 방법 본문은 유지합니다.

기존 Codex·Mac Claude Code·Claude 계정 스킬·Antigravity 프로필과 Apple Silicon
Mac·Windows x64 범위를 유지합니다. Windows ARM64와 Go 전환은 별도 v1.6.0
작업입니다. Windows Claude Code 네이티브 연동은 이번 범위에 추가하지 않습니다.

유지되는 선택기는 명시적 언어 → 저장한 언어 선호 → 현재 입력 문자 순으로
선택합니다. 가나가 있으면 일본어를 우선하며, 그 외에는 한글 우세 시 한국어,
한자 우세 시 중국어입니다. 빈 입력·라틴 문자만 있는 입력·동률은 영어로
돌아갑니다. 한자만 있는 일본어는 ja를 명시하세요. 상태 없는 판단 요청은
JSON locale을 사용하며 저장 설정을 읽지 않습니다. 사고 지시문과 답변·화면·
설치기 출력의 언어는 별개입니다.

위의 1.5.1 고정 명령으로 설치·업데이트하고 실제 호스트 신뢰와 권한을 확인하세요.
계정 ZIP은 백업 후 별도 업로드·활성화하며 내보내기 성공이 계정 사용을
증명하지는 않습니다. 적격한 정본 방법을 전부 읽고 현재 답변에 실제 적용했을
때만 마지막에 Powered by OpenSocrates를 그대로 표시합니다. 단순 작업이나
독자 안내만 사용한 답변에는 표시하지 않습니다. 과거 관찰·설치·불러오기·
전체 읽기·적용·유용성은 서로 다른 증거이며 일반적인 품질·비용·속도 향상은
주장하지 않습니다.
