terminology

terminology is a skill for Claude Code from ekline-io/ekline-docs-skills. It costs 55 tokens per session (825 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A documentation check that keeps technical terms, product names, interface labels, and action words consistent. It compares writing with an approved terminology list.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or changing Markdown, HTML, text, or other documentation files to check terms and flag variants that should be reviewed.
Why use it?
It finds different names or spellings for the same concept before they spread across documentation.

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 11d 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.

Validate Terminology

Check documentation for terminology consistency against approved terms.

Reference: references/terminology-rules.md contains all approved terms, variants to avoid, and formatting rules.

Terminology Checking Process

Step 1: Load Approved Terms

Read references/terminology-rules.md to get:

  • Product and feature names (exact capitalization)
  • Technical terms (programming, infrastructure)
  • Action verbs (preferred vs avoided)
  • UI element terms
  • Prohibited terms

Step 2: Extract Terms from Document

Identify all potentially controlled terms:

  • Product/feature names
  • Technical concepts
  • UI element names
  • Code identifiers mentioned in prose
  • Action verbs in instructions

Step 3: Compare Against Approved List

For each term found:
  ├── Is it in the approved list?
  │     YES → Check for exact match (case, spacing)
  │     NO → Flag for review
  │
  └── Does it match a "variant to avoid"?
        YES → Flag as terminology violation
        NO → Continue

Step 4: Check Consistency Within Document

Even if a term isn't in the controlled list:

  • Is it used consistently throughout?
  • First usage should establish the pattern
  • All subsequent uses should match

Step 5: Return Findings

Internally, create a terminology report with the following structure.

terminology_report:
  document: "path/to/file.md"

  violations:
    - term_found: "api-key"
      approved_term: "API key"
      rule_reference: "references/terminology-rules.md#technical-terms"
      locations: ["line 42", "line 87"]
      severity: error

  inconsistencies:
    - term: "config file"
      variants_found: ["config file", "configuration file"]
      locations:
        "config file": ["line 10"]
        "configuration file": ["line 45"]
      recommendation: "Use 'configuration file' consistently"
      severity: warning

  undefined_terms:
    - term: "webhook"
      first_use: "line 23"
      recommendation: "Add definition or link to glossary"
      severity: info

  summary:
    errors: 2
    warnings: 1
    info: 1
    compliant: false

Changes

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.
