Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] docs(l10n): add AI agent instructions for updating po/XX.po files
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 23:33:30 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e8bf240c68f069fb7ee71b4e42a43f0798b51671.1772551123.git.worldhello.net@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1772551123.git.worldhello.net@gmail.com>
Add a new section po/AGENTS.md to provide clear instructions for
updating language-specific PO files. The improved documentation
significantly reduces both model interaction rounds and execution time.
Performance evaluation using the qwen model:
# Before: instructions in po/README.md; custom prompt references it
git-po-helper agent-test --runs=5 --agent=qwen update-po \
--prompt="Update po/zh_CN.po according to po/README.md"
# After: instructions in po/AGENTS.md; built-in prompt references it
git-po-helper agent-test --runs=5 --agent=qwen update-po
Benchmark results (5-run average):
| Metric | Before | After | Improvement |
|-------------|---------|--------|-------------|
| Turns: | 22 | 4 | -82% |
| Exec time | 38s | 9s | -76% |
| Turn range | 17-39 | 3-9 | |
| Time range | 25s-68s | 7s-14s | |
This change makes agent workflows more efficient and reduces API costs
by minimizing redundant LLM interactions and file content checks.

+1. **Directly execute** the command `make po-update PO_FILE=po/XX.po`
