save-term is a skill for Claude Code from nweii/agent-stuff. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,562 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for saving one term or phrase as a structured note in a Brain vault, a personal collection of organized notes. It supports terms found in outside sources and concepts created during a conversation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Capturing a term with its source and quotation, or saving a newly coined concept with a short explanation and example.
Why use it?
It keeps useful vocabulary in a consistent location and format instead of mixing it into general notes.

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

save-term 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Save term

Save a term or phrase as a Term note in 02-Evergreen/Terms/. Two modes:

  1. Encountered — a term lifted from a book, article, conversation, or other external source. Body anchors on a source citation + quote.
  2. Coined — a term that emerged during conversation (often a compact replacement for a wordy phrase, or a fresh concept the user wants to lock in). Body is a brief gloss with a usage example or context.

This skill is not for general note-taking. It writes one specific shape of note — short, atomic, and aligned with the existing vault Term convention. For broader capture, use vault-inbox.

Defer to AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md

Vault layout, metadata semantics, and tool-choice rules live in the vault's AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md. This skill only adds the procedure for writing one note type. When unsure about a field's meaning or which tool to use for vault writes, read those first.

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS: the term or phrase to save. If omitted, ask. If the term contains punctuation tricky for filenames (/, :, etc.), confirm a filesystem-safe variant before writing.

Process

1. Determine mode

Ask if not obvious from context:

  • Encountered — user is referencing something external (a book, article, person they're quoting, web clipping). Need a source.
  • Coined — emerged in this conversation, no external source. Likely came out of a phrase-revision pass or a fresh framing.

2. Gather what the body needs

For encountered terms:

  • Source citation — wikilink to an existing vault note if possible ([[Source note title]]), otherwise a markdown link to the URL with the article/book title as link text. Check 04-Entities/ and 03-Records/Clippings/ for an existing source note before defaulting to a raw URL.
  • Quote — verbatim passage from the source that defines or illustrates the term. Use a blockquote (>). Don't paraphrase.
  • Optional: brief framing sentence above the quote if needed for context, though most existing Term notes go straight to the quote.

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.
