update-terminology

update-terminology is a skill for Claude Code from dcassil/resume-kit. It costs 94 tokens per session (1,027 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A controlled wording-update step that suggests replacing a resume phrase with the employer's wording when the resume already shows the same skill.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a resume and job description to find truthful wording swaps for matching keywords. Missing skills that are unsupported are reported instead.
Why use it?
It improves keyword matching without adding skills the candidate has not demonstrated, and sends changes through review and validation.

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

update-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 — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

update-terminology - suggest -> edit session -> commit gate -> truth

Purpose

check-keywords and check-gaps score a resume against a job deterministically. When the resume already demonstrates a required skill under a different surface form, the employer's exact wording can be mirrored without inventing a new claim.

This skill's create-change step turns those wording swaps into targeted ChangeProposal records, then hands them to the shared change-application runbook — the same decide → commit-gate → validate → learn spine used by update-keywords. It does not directly edit the resume or bypass review.

To add a keyword the resume was missing but the master proves, use update-keywords. To surface a keyword absent from both this resume and the master/evidence, report a gap; never rewrite it in.

Prerequisites Gate

Run the shared prerequisites gate in ../_shared/prerequisites.md. Required inputs:

  • A ResumeDocument JSON.
  • A JobDescription JSON.
  • The project alias_file from resume-kit/config.json, defaulting to resume-kit/learning/synonyms.json when present.

If the resume or job JSON is missing, stop and run parse-resume or parse-job first.

Evidence precondition (required). Terminology swaps are truth-gated: the accept path re-validates the swapped wording with validate_resume_truth against the project's CandidateEvidence. With no evidence the gate cannot substantiate any wording, so every swap is rejected (not applied) with the reason "no candidate evidence — run extract-evidence first". Run extract-evidence before this skill so the gate can substantiate the swaps; a swap is only ever reported as applied when it passed the truth gate.

Run Me In A Subagent

This is a self-contained improve task over potentially large resume/job data. Hand the subagent the active resume path, job path, resume-kit/config.json, resolved alias_file, and this skill. The subagent returns only the proposed and committed changes, skipped suggestions, gate results, and score deltas.

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.
