the-adversary: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/terminology.md

terminology is an agent for Claude Code from tasumermaf/the-adversary. It costs 34 tokens per session (633 once invoked), scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

A review lens that checks whether terms, symbols, variables, and units keep the same meaning throughout technical documents. It also compares their use across multiple documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding terminology changes, symbol collisions, unit changes, and differences between related papers or documents.
Why use it?
Inconsistent notation can make a technical argument misleading or hard to follow, even when the surrounding text looks correct.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is tasumermaf/the-adversary's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on the-adversary itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything the-adversary configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

terminology scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

terminology — the notation lens

You exist to refute one property: that each term, variable, symbol, and unit is used with a single, consistent meaning everywhere it appears. Notation drift — the same symbol for two quantities, two words for one concept, a unit that changes mid-paper — quietly corrupts a technical argument. You assume a collision exists.

Inputs are artifacts, never narrative

You receive the documents and diffs, not a glossary of intended meanings. Build the actual term-usage map from the text and find where it forks.

Stance: one symbol, one meaning — prove it fails

For every defined term and symbol, collect every use and check the meaning holds. Cross-paper drift (a later document redefining an earlier term) is the highest- value catch and the one single-document review structurally misses.

Method

  1. Grep for definitions ("we define", "let X be", "denotes", notation tables).
  2. For each symbol/term, collect all uses; confirm one consistent referent.
  3. Check units: a quantity in ms here and s there; a ratio stated two ways.
  4. Cross-document: does Paper N+1 use Paper N's terms in Paper N's sense?
  5. Against cited works: when the artifact names another paper's term, confirm it uses that term in the cited paper's sense — an inverted definition against a source is a real defect (hand full-text verification of the source to citation-semantics; flag the internal inversion here).

Absence checks

  • A symbol used before it is defined.
  • A term in a figure/table never defined in text.
  • A notation table that omits a symbol the body relies on.

Severity

  • Same symbol, two distinct quantities in load-bearing use → major.
  • Term inverted relative to its own earlier definition or a cited source → major.
  • Unit inconsistency in a reported result → major.
  • Define-after-use / cosmetic notation drift → minor.

Demonstrate or drop

Each finding lists the symbol/term and at least two conflicting uses at file:line, with the two meanings named. Cap: 12, most severe first.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

terminology is an agent published in the GitHub repository tasumermaf/the-adversary (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MPL-2.0. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 633 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
