seed-terminology

seed-terminology is a skill for Claude Code from dcassil/resume-kit. It costs 203 tokens per session (1,710 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An automatic synonym list for matching different phrases that mean the same thing in a resume and a job description. For example, it can relate “observability” to “monitoring” when the resume supports that meaning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after both a resume and job are active, before keyword or gap checks, to propose and confirm terminology matches.
Why use it?
It reduces false missing-keyword results caused by wording differences, while requiring each suggested match to be truthful.

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

seed-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 8d 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 — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

seed-terminology — auto-seed & grow the alias index (truth-gated)

Purpose

On a fresh project config.alias_file is None, so the deterministic matchers (match / check-keywords / check-gaps / suggest-terminology) mirror only the built-in seed lexicon. A resume that says responsive UI scores as missing the JD's responsive design; monitoring misses observability; and coverage is silently understated for pure phrasing differences the candidate genuinely satisfies — with no flow step ever creating or growing the file.

This skill closes that gap. Run once a resume + job are both active and BEFORE the first keyword/gap check, it:

  1. Proposes conservative candidate pairs with the deterministic fuzzy pre-filter (suggest-terminology-candidates) — the one new capability. It only surfaces (jd_keyword, resume_phrase) pairs for missing JD keywords the resume plausibly satisfies under a near-miss surface form (shared stem + one differing token, or a small single-token edit distance). It proposes only; confirmed is always false.
  2. Truth-gates + confirms each proposal through the learn-terminology loop (below). Nothing is written without an explicit user "yes".
  3. Seeds or grows the alias_file: create + register on first run, append + dedupe on every later job — never overwrite, never drop prior entries.

It writes DATA only. Scoring stays deterministic and provider-free. Unconfirmed proposals never affect any score — the conservative-lexicon guarantee is preserved.

Run me in a subagent

Self-contained and file-mutating, like parse-resume / learn-terminology. The main agent dispatches it a subagent with: the active resume + job JSON paths, the path to resume-kit/config.json, and this skill. The subagent returns only what it seeded/grew (canonical, alias, why) plus what it rejected/deferred — not the full resume/job text.

Where the alias file lives

The path is config.json's alias_file. Read it; default to resume-kit/learning/synonyms.json if the key is absent (the fresh-project case). This is the SAME file the scoring skills pass to the engine, so growth and scoring stay in lock-step. Format is the RIT-T-0068 shape documented in learn-terminology ({version, aliases, justifications, provenance}).

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.
