OpenSocrates v1.5.2

OpenSocrates 1.5.2 — reasoning instructions in ten languages

OpenSocrates 1.5.2 adds French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Thai
to the existing English, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Japanese content.
All 48 authored methods include complete procedures and canonical examples:
480 procedure files, 3,840 cases and three teacher questions per method per
language, 1,440 questions total.

Content revision 5 preserves the existing four languages' procedure/case body
bytes and metadata/question values while changing each method's revision identity
from 4 to 5. Method, locale and revision remain distinct parts of a complete-read
identity; unchanged text does not make an older receipt current.

The six new languages receive controllers, decision and reader guides,
presentation rules, catalogs and canonical references across the four existing
host profiles. Portuguese uses Brazilian orthography under the generic pt code,
without claiming separate support for every regional variant. Thai uses a
script-appropriate character-count contract rather than English whitespace word
counts. Content coverage and semantic review are separate from live host use.

Hosts and platforms

Profile	Scope
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 references
Claude web / Desktop Chat / Cowork	Executable-free account skill ZIP; export on Mac or Windows, separate account upload and activation
Antigravity conversation application	Apple-silicon Mac and Windows x64; owned workspace or global rule and skill

This is a v1.5 maintenance release, separate from the v1.6.0 Go migration and
Windows ARM64 work. Native Windows Claude Code, Intel Mac and Linux native
qualification are not added. Account skills remain model-selected and can be
missed; they add no native hooks or every-message enforcement. Installation,
loading, full reads, actual application and useful outcomes are separate evidence.
No new general answer-quality, token-cost or latency gain is claimed.

Choose an instruction language

The closed authored codes are en|ko|zh|ja|fr|de|it|es|pt|th.
For the retained selector, a trusted explicit choice overrides a stored one;
otherwise the current input's script is detected. Kana selects Japanese first.
Dominant Thai, Hangul or Han then selects Thai, Korean or Chinese. Empty input,
ties or unknown scripts fall back to English. French, German, Italian, Spanish
and Portuguese share Latin script and need an explicit or saved choice. Han-only
Japanese also requires an explicit ja choice.

From the installed Mac Codex package root:

bin/launch.sh locale codex get
bin/launch.sh locale codex set fr
bin/launch.sh locale codex set th
bin/launch.sh locale codex reset

On Windows use node bin/launch.mjs locale codex get, the corresponding
set <code> and reset commands. set follow and reset clear only the stored
language preference. The retained SDK selector remains unavailable on Windows.
Stateless decision requests require the explicit JSON locale, read no stored
settings and do not accept follow. Account/content packages use the matching
guides and references, without the native preference store.

The npm installer has no --locale option. Instruction language is distinct
from answer language, host UI and installer output. Unknown locale choices or
extra CLI arguments are rejected. Runtime readers retain complete historical
two-/four-language content compatibility; old packages do not acquire ten
languages without updating.

Install or update

Use Node.js 20+. Native runtimes are bundled; installation requires no Python.
Windows native installation uses Windows PowerShell on Windows 11 x64.

npx --yes opensocrates@1.5.2 install --host codex
npx --yes opensocrates@1.5.2 status --host codex
# Existing installation:
npx --yes opensocrates@1.5.2 update --host codex

On Apple-silicon Mac select install --host claude for the native companion.
For Antigravity select install --host antigravity; add the existing absolute
--workspace path for workspace scope or omit it for global scope. Avoid duplicate
active scopes for the same work. The default and --host all still select Codex
only. Preserve deliberately disabled installations and use the host's real
plugin/hook trust flow, then start a fresh conversation.

For the Claude account skill:

npx --yes opensocrates@1.5.2 export --host claude-chat --output /absolute/path/to/opensocrates-1.5.2-account.zip

Use an existing output folder. Back up the previous skill and enabled state,
then upload and enable the ZIP in the correct Claude account. Preserve existing
account instructions when adding the standing instruction from the setup guide.
Successful export does not upload, activate or prove automatic skill use.

The release layout retains Codex Mac and Windows x64 archives, the Mac
opensocrates-1.5.2-claude-plugin.zip, portable
opensocrates-1.5.2-claude-chat-skills.zip and
opensocrates-1.5.2-antigravity-plugin.zip, with SHA-256 sidecars and inventories.
Portable content ZIPs contain no native runtime or Windows suffix. Exact validation,
publication and public-byte verification evidence belongs to the final issue/PR
handoff, rather than being inferred from this release description.

The language guide
and settings guide
explain exact invocation and compatibility boundaries. Dated v1.5.0/v1.5.1
observations and screenshots remain historical; use current 1.5.2 commands.

The exact English final line Powered by OpenSocrates appears only after an
eligible canonical method is fully read and actually applied to the answer.
Reader guidance alone and mechanical work do not qualify. The same line is used
in all ten languages and does not prove native application or better results.

No telemetry, credential collection, raw prompt/transcript storage, screenshot
retention or hidden-reasoning capture is introduced. Script detection uses
transient current input. Stateless native entry and decision retrieval do not
read private transcripts or initialize a database. Host authentication,
permissions, retention and terms still govern normal conversations.

한국어

v1.5.2는 기존 영어·한국어·간체 중국어·일본어에 프랑스어·독일어·이탈리아어·
스페인어·포르투갈어·태국어를 추가합니다. 열 언어의 사고 방법 48개에 전체
절차 480개, 정본 사례 3,840개, 교사 질문 1,440개를 제공합니다. 콘텐츠
리비전 5에서 기존 네 언어의 본문 바이트·값은 유지하지만 각 방법의 리비전
식별자는 4에서 5로 바뀝니다. 포르투갈어는 일반 pt 코드와 브라질식 철자를
사용하며 모든 지역 변형의 별도 지원을 주장하지 않습니다.

기존 네 호스트 프로필·Apple Silicon Mac·Windows x64 범위를 유지합니다.
Windows ARM64·Go 전환은 별도 v1.6.0 작업이며 Windows 네이티브 Claude Code는
추가하지 않습니다. 라틴 문자를 공유하는 새 유럽 언어에는 명시적 또는 저장한
선택이 필요합니다. 가나가 있으면 일본어를 우선하고 태국 문자·한글·한자 중
우세한 문자를 판별합니다. 동률·빈 입력·알 수 없는 문자는 영어입니다.
상태 없는 판단 요청은 JSON locale을 사용하며 저장 선호를 읽지 않습니다.
