Tongues

Make unlike systems understand the same sentence.

What This Skill Does

Tongues is universal translation across languages, formats, and protocols. It can mean English to Spanish, JSON to XML, REST to GraphQL, Python to JavaScript, or one team's business vocabulary to another team's schema. The spell is not just about swapping tokens. It is about preserving meaning while crossing into a different representation. Good Tongues work makes both sides feel native. Bad Tongues work creates a smooth-looking mistranslation that fails at the edges. In this grimoire, Tongues is treated as a metaphorical spell with a shipping-now delivery profile. Canonical reference input: Tongues (spell).

When To Use

• You need to translate between human languages, programming languages, data formats, or protocol styles.
• Two systems or teams mean roughly the same thing but encode it in incompatible ways.
• You need a faithful bridge, not a lossy paraphrase that only works on the happy path.

Prerequisites

• No extra runtime dependencies beyond Hermes Agent and the normal toolset for this session.
