curate-language

curate-language is a skill for Claude Code from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,232 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for maintaining a project's shared glossary: the agreed meanings and preferred names for important domain terms. It records resolved meanings, rejected alternatives, and the part of the project where a term belongs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for updating domain vocabulary used in conversations, documentation, tests, and code.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion when people use the same word in different ways or use several words for the same idea.

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

curate-language 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 1mo 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.

Variables

Request: $ARGUMENTS

Purpose

Maintain the consuming project's active, committed vocabulary record. The glossary is not a static dictionary and not the domain model by itself: it records language the team has actually resolved so the same model language can be used consistently in conversation, documentation, tests, and code.

This skill owns changing that record. Merely reading the nearest glossary so another skill uses the right words is a one-line habit and does not require this workflow.

Entry discipline, the convention-resolution ladder, and the multi-context rules live in context/glossary-contract.md. Read that file before resolving a convention or writing an entry.

Workflow

1. Establish what is resolved

Start from the conversation, $ARGUMENTS, existing glossary entries, and relevant project artifacts. Identify the concrete language change:

  • a new project-specific concept has a stable meaning
  • one term is being used for two concepts
  • several names compete for one concept
  • an existing definition no longer matches the team's model
  • the same spelling intentionally means different things in different known contexts

Exercise the candidate language in one or two domain scenarios. If the meaning, canonical term, or context is still disputed, ask one focused question and do not write yet. Never manufacture consensus. When the proposed meaning describes existing software behavior, inspect the relevant code and tests. If they contradict the conversation, surface the mismatch and resolve which model is intended before writing; do not silently treat either source as authoritative.

2. Resolve the consumer's convention

Gather the evidence the ladder in context/glossary-contract.md ranks: the consuming project's AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .claude/rules, and declared documentation conventions, then, from the files and domain area in scope, walk toward the repository root looking for an existing domain-vocabulary file or context map. Work the ladder in order and stop at the first rung that resolves both format and location.

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.

curate-language is a skill published in the GitHub repository melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (25 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 99 tokens to every session and 1,232 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
