dh-glossary

dh-glossary is a skill for Claude Code from Jamie-BitFlight/claude_skills. It costs 90 tokens per session (820 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for terms used by the development-harness tools, including pipeline stages, checks, and impact radius. Each definition points to the source file that defines the term.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up RT-ICA, ARL, SAM, S1-S7 stages, Impact Radius, and related development-harness terminology.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from guessing what an unfamiliar term means from its name or observed behaviour. This is useful when another workflow mentions a term without explaining it.

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

dh-glossary 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 6d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dh Glossary

A mandate that names a dh concept states only the name, not the method — the orchestrator sees the outcome (a verdict, a gate, a report) and can misinfer the mechanism from watching what it does. Load this skill instead of inferring; each entry states the method, not just the outcome, and points to the file that is authoritative if this entry ever drifts from it.

Terms

RT-ICA (Reverse Thinking - Information Completeness Assessment) — works backward from the stated goal through its prerequisite chain: what must exist to reach the goal, then what each of those things requires, recursively back to the current state. Classifies each prerequisite as AVAILABLE, DERIVABLE, or MISSING. dh:rt-ica blocks planning on any MISSING condition (S2 implementation gate); dh:planner-rt-ica is the non-blocking sister used during grooming, which localizes a MISSING condition to the affected task instead of halting. Canonical: skills/rt-ica/SKILL.md.

ARL (Autonomous Refinement Loop) — research into the prerequisites for autonomous agent execution without synchronous human blocking gates: failure categories, and the conditions under which a machine-verifiable check can replace human judgment. dh's human-touchpoint model is ARL-derived — see the S1-S7 entry below. Canonical: plugins/plugin-creator/skills/arl/SKILL.md.

SAM (Stateless Agent Methodology) — the 7-stage development pipeline this harness implements (S1-S7, below). "Stateless" means each stage's state lives in a provider-owned artifact, never in conversation history — a stage reads its input from the prior stage's registered artifact, not from what an agent remembers saying earlier. Canonical: plugins/development-harness/AGENTS.md ("SAM 7-Stage Pipeline").

S1-S7 — the SAM pipeline stage names, in order: S1 Discovery (understand the feature, codebase, constraints) → S2 Planning + RT-ICA (generate a plan, gated by dh:rt-ica) → S3 Context Integration (validate the plan against actual codebase state) → S4 Task Decomposition (break the plan into executable tasks) → S5 Execution (implement tasks via language-specific specialists) → S6 Forensic Review (verify each task against its acceptance criteria) → S7 Final Verification (certify the feature meets the original requirements). Not every stage requires human review — ARL-derived constraint analysis decides when to escalate, not a fixed checkpoint per stage. Canonical: plugins/development-harness/AGENTS.md ("How It Works").

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.
