ubiquitous-language

ubiquitous-language is a skill for Claude Code from OutlineDriven/odin-gemini-cli-extension. It costs 59 tokens per session (750 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ubiquitous-language, Apache-2.0.

A method for extracting important domain terms from a conversation and recording their agreed meanings in a glossary.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while defining product language, documenting a domain, or creating a shared vocabulary for a software project.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion when people use different words for the same concept or use one word in several ways.

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

ubiquitous-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Mine the live conversation for domain-relevant nouns, verbs, and concepts; resolve synonyms and overloaded terms into a canonical, opinionated glossary. Persist the result to UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE.md so subsequent sessions inherit the same vocabulary. Re-invocation refines the file in place rather than overwriting.

When a candidate term collides with usage already present in the codebase, dispatch an Explore agent (fd-first discovery, git grep/ast-grep content search) to confirm the dominant naming before recommending a winner. The user supplies domain intent; the codebase supplies factual usage.

Modality vs adjacent skills: This skill extracts glossary from raw conversation when no documented domain language exists yet. Domain-model grilling grills a plan against an already-documented CONTEXT.md/ADRs. Pick ubiquitous-language when you are creating the artifact; pick the grilling workflow when you are stress-testing one. The two compose: build the glossary here, then promote stable terms into CONTEXT.md and let the grilling workflow defend it thereafter.

Process

  1. Scan the dialogue for domain-relevant nouns, verbs, and concepts. Skip generic programming nouns (array, function, endpoint) unless they carry domain weight.
  2. Identify three failure modes: same word for different concepts (ambiguity), different words for the same concept (synonyms), vague or overloaded terms.
  3. Propose canonical terms with explicit aliases-to-avoid. Be opinionated — pick one winner per concept and justify briefly.
  4. Persist UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE.md to the working directory using the format in references/UBIQUITOUS-LANGUAGE-FORMAT.md.
  5. Emit a short inline summary of additions, renames, and flagged ambiguities so the user can react in-thread.

Rules

  • One sentence per definition. Define what the term is, not what it does.
  • Group terms into multiple tables when natural clusters exist (subdomain, lifecycle, actor). Force no grouping when a single cohesive table reads cleanly.
  • Express relationships with bold term names and explicit cardinality where obvious (exactly one, one or more, optional).
  • Flagged ambiguities require a recommendation, not a question. The skill resolves; the user overrides.
  • Treat module and class identifiers as glossary candidates only when they carry domain meaning. Prefer abstract domain terms over implementation aliases.
  • Include an example dialogue (3–5 exchanges) demonstrating the terms used precisely. The dialogue clarifies boundaries between adjacent concepts.

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.
