glossary

glossary is a skill for Claude Code from odere-pro/claude-oop-excellence. It costs 92 tokens per session (1,736 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only reference for the code issues and design patterns recognized by its plugin. A glossary is an authoritative list of terms and their definitions, categories, families, and severity levels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up an entity by identifier, list entities in a category or family, check severity, or find corrective design patterns.
Why use it?
It prevents analyses from using inconsistent names or inventing details about code smells, vulnerabilities, supply-chain risks, and design patterns.

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

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 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.

Plugin Glossary

The canonical vocabulary for claude-oop-excellence. The sibling file glossary.json (in this same skill directory) is the single source of truth for every entity the plugin recognizes — code smells, antipatterns, vulnerabilities, supply-chain risks, and design patterns — plus the shared vocabulary every other skill and scanner reads at runtime. When you need the authoritative record for an entity, read glossary.json and return what it says verbatim. Do not invent fields or values.

Structure

glossary.json has two top-level keys.

vocabulary

Shared, enumerable terms used across the plugin:

  • categoriescode-smell, antipattern, vulnerability, supply-chain-risk, design-pattern.
  • families — issue families (oop, code, architecture, testing, concurrency, database, security, dependency) and pattern families (creational, structural, behavioral, architectural, enterprise, functional, ddd).
  • severity_weights — numeric weight per severity (critical 10, high 5, medium 2, low 1).
  • score_bandsclean, low, moderate, high, critical thresholds for an aggregate score.
  • scopesfull, changed, component.
  • confidence — the 0-100 range scanners report.
  • principles — the design principles entities reference (e.g. srp, ocp, lsp, isp, dip, encapsulation, high-cohesion, low-coupling, law-of-demeter, dry, kiss, yagni, composition-over-inheritance, tell-dont-ask).
  • tracks — the two top-level audit tracks: risk (find issues) and pattern (work with design patterns).
  • aspects — the work an audit can do within a track: risk-scan (detect issues), pattern-scan (detect design patterns already present), pattern-fit (suggest the most-suitable patterns).

entities

An array of entity records. Each record has:

  • id — stable kebab-case identifier (e.g. god-class). Use this to select an entity.
  • name — human-readable name (e.g. God Class).
  • category — one of the vocabulary.categories.
  • family — one of the vocabulary.families.
  • principles — for issues, the principles the entity violates; for design patterns, the principles it upholds.
  • signs — language-neutral descriptions of what to look for. Plain English, never regex.
  • default_severitycritical / high / medium / low (issues only).
  • applies_when — the precondition for the entity to be in scope (e.g. "any class/struct/interface declarations present").
  • corrective_patterns — (issues only) ids of design patterns that fix this issue.
  • resolves — (design patterns only) ids of the issues this pattern fixes.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
