+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and

+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding any notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+
+An OVOS skill that asks before a risky request runs. It works with
+[Switchboard](https://github.com/OscillateLabsLLC/switchboard).
+
+Some requests shouldn't run on a misheard word: unlocking a door, opening the garage, shutting down, clearing data.
+Switchboard never runs these directly. With Doublecheck installed and Switchboard's `high_risk` set to `"confirm"`,
+it hands them to Doublecheck, which:
+
+- **repeats what it heard** and asks: "I think you said: unlock the front door. Should I do that?"
+- **on a clear yes**, runs exactly that request, as if it had gone straight to the skill;
+- **on anything else** (no, silence, an unclear answer) says "OK, I won't" and runs nothing.
+
+Repeating the user's own words means no special wording is needed for each request, and if the assistant misheard,
+the user hears the mistake before anything happens.
+
+The request is kept only for that one question. A "yes" said later runs nothing.
+
+## Install
+
+```sh
+pip install ovos-skill-doublecheck
+```
+
+Then set `"high_risk": "confirm"` under `intents.switchboard` in `mycroft.conf`.
+
+Python 3.11-3.14. Works with ovos-workshop 0.x (Neon) and current OVOS.
+
+## Languages
+
+Basque, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, French, Galician, German, Italian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese (European
+and Brazilian), Russian, Spanish and Swedish: the languages most OVOS skills ship. Regional variants use their
+language's version (`en-GB` uses `en-US`).
+
+Doublecheck only asks a question that can be answered. If it has no question in the user's language, or OVOS
+can't understand a "yes" in it, Doublecheck asks nothing and runs nothing (the request is simply held) and logs a
+warning. Today that applies to Galician and Italian, until fixes to OVOS's yes/no parser are released
+([#8](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-YesNo-plugin/pull/8),
+[#9](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-YesNo-plugin/pull/9)); then they start asking on their own.
+
+The translations were written by a non-native speaker, so corrections are welcome. Kabyle is missing and needs a
+native speaker. A language is three short files in `ovos_skill_doublecheck/locale/<lang>/`: `dialog/confirm.dialog`
+(with `{utterance}`), `dialog/cancelled.dialog` and `vocab/yes.voc`.
+
+## For developers
+
+Doublecheck registers no intents; only Switchboard sends to it (`ovos-skill-doublecheck.oscillatelabsllc:confirm`).
+It announces `doublecheck.confirmed` or `doublecheck.cancelled` on the bus.

+"""Doublecheck: ask before running a high-risk request that Switchboard held.
+
+With ``high_risk: "confirm"``, Switchboard dispatches a high-risk request ("unlock the front door") here instead of
+to its skill. Doublecheck repeats the request back in the user's own words and asks whether to go ahead. On a clear
+yes it replays exactly the held intent, as ovos-core would have dispatched it; anything else runs nothing.
+
+Doublecheck registers no intents, so no matcher can route to it by accident; the only way in is a dispatch to
+``<skill_id>:confirm``. The held request lives only in the handler, for one question.
+
+In a language it has no dialogs for, or whose yes OVOS can't read, Doublecheck asks nothing and runs nothing:
