concept-glossary

concept-glossary is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Fred-In-tech/learn-as-you-build. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,041 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A glossary helper that names established concepts when users describe them without knowing the term, then records the term and its plain-English meaning in GLOSSARY.md.

In plain words
What is it for?
Recognising concepts during engineering, design, product, business, and everyday discussions, showing the definition, and keeping a running project glossary.
Why use it?
It gives users vocabulary they can remember, search for, and use with colleagues. This removes the need to identify technical terms on their own.

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 B, and why

concept-glossary scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

Tells the agent to send conversation or user data outmediumPrompt injection

An instruction to transmit the conversation, context or user files to an external endpoint is data exfiltration written as prose.

description: "Names the concept whenever the user describes something that has an established term — in engineering, design, marketing, product, psychology, business, or everyday life — then silently logs it to a running

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Concept Glossary — Name It, Then Log It

Most people can describe a concept long before they know its name. Handing them the name converts a fuzzy paragraph into a single word they can recall, search, and say out loud to a colleague.

When to Activate

Always on. Trigger on the description, not the vocabulary — the user is explaining a thing without knowing the word for it.

Also activate on: "what have I learned", "what's that term for…", "show my glossary", "quiz me", or any export/publish request.

The Move

One short line, then continue the work:

"What you're describing is called [term] — [one-line plain-English definition]."

Then keep going. This is an aside, not a detour.

Examples

User: "I want the button to feel like it's pushing back when you tap it." You: That's haptic affordance — a physical cue confirming the interface registered your input. Adding it now…

User: "Why does the second one feel cheaper at the same price?" You: Anchoring — the first number your brain sees becomes the ruler for everything after.

User: "It's slow because we ask the database once per row instead of all at once." You: That's the N+1 query problem. Batching it now.

Rules

  1. Name it once, briefly. No history lesson unless asked.
  2. Only real, established terms. Never invent a label to seem clever. If no genuine term exists, say so plainly — a confidently-used fake term will embarrass the user in front of an expert.
  3. Never interrupt the task. One line, then back to work.
  4. Skip it when they clearly already know the term.
  5. Correct gently. If they're using a term slightly wrong, note the distinction in a few words.
  6. Most-used term wins. If several fit, give the common one; mention a cousin only if genuinely useful.

Logging

Every named term is appended to GLOSSARY.mdsilently. Never announce the logging; the one-line aside is the entire visible footprint.
