checking-terminology-consistency

checking-terminology-consistency is a skill for Claude Code from icerain-cmd/humanities-superpowers. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,089 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A manuscript terminology review that tracks recurring concepts, translations, abbreviations, names, and near-synonyms across a text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a terminology ledger, map occurrences, investigate conceptual drift, and record unresolved choices about definitions or translations.
Why use it?
It detects when changing a term changes the meaning, scope, translation, or force of the argument, without forcing every variation into one label.

    Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.

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

checking-terminology-consistency 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 9d 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.

Checking Terminology Consistency

Purpose

Control conceptual drift without flattening meaningful variation. This skill distinguishes harmless stylistic variation from changes that alter the argument's object, level of analysis, historical claim, translation, or normative force.

Humanities manuscripts often use several adjacent terms because sources use different vocabularies, translations vary, or a concept develops across sections. Consistency does not mean replacing every word with one preferred label. It means making every variation accountable.

Contract

Accepts a manuscript, chapter set, terminology ledger, concept map, translation notes, style sheet, or reviewer comments about unclear terminology.

Requires the text to be checked and, for central concepts, provisional definitions or evidence of how the researcher intends the terms to differ.

Produces a normalized TerminologyEntry ledger, occurrence map, drift analysis, recommended actions, unresolved researcher decisions, and a terminology gate report.

May produce a translation table, capitalization and hyphenation sheet, abbreviation policy, proper-name authority list, or proposed definition revisions.

Fails when central terms have no recoverable meaning, two terms are used interchangeably despite incompatible definitions, a translation choice cannot be justified, or the requester asks the agent to hide conceptual inconsistency through stylistic editing.

Guarantees that each audited central term is linked to an explicit definition, distinction, status, and recommended treatment.

Does not guarantee that the chosen concept is philosophically correct, that one translation is universally authoritative, or that terminological uniformity will make the argument persuasive.

When to use

Use after the central concepts have been provisionally defined, after merging chapters written at different times, after translation or multilingual research, before manuscript review, after renaming a key concept, or when reviewers report that several terms seem interchangeable.

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.
