glossary

glossary is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tdimino/claude-code-minoan. It costs 98 tokens per session (607 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project glossary stored in a CONTEXT.md file, defining important domain terms, aliases to avoid, and relationships between concepts. A domain is the subject area a project deals with, such as payments or healthcare.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a project or when terms are used inconsistently, so agents can discover, define, and apply the project's key concepts.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents and developers shared vocabulary, reducing confusion and inconsistent naming across sessions.

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 10d 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.

Glossary — Domain Language Builder

Build or update a CONTEXT.md at the project root that captures the project's domain language. A shared vocabulary between user and agent reduces verbosity (agents stop using 20 words where 1 domain term suffices), enforces consistent naming in code, and prevents terminology drift across sessions.

Creating a new CONTEXT.md

If no CONTEXT.md exists at the project root, run an elicitation session to discover domain terms:

  1. Explore the codebase to identify domain-specific naming patterns—types, modules, key abstractions, recurring nouns in variable names and comments.
  2. Present findings to the user: "I found these domain concepts in the code: [list]. Which are worth defining? Are any named inconsistently?"
  3. For each confirmed term, resolve four fields: the canonical name, a one-sentence definition, aliases to avoid, and relationships to other terms. These four fields are the minimum needed for an agent to use the term correctly and consistently—fewer leads to ambiguity, more adds noise.
  4. Ask about ambiguities: "Is [term] the same as [similar term], or are they distinct?" Surface these early because unresolved synonyms are the primary source of naming inconsistency in agent-generated code.
  5. Write CONTEXT.md following the format in references/context-format.md.

Updating an existing CONTEXT.md

If CONTEXT.md already exists, read it first. Then:

  1. Identify the new concept or ambiguity that triggered this invocation.
  2. Check whether it fits an existing term (update the definition) or is genuinely new (add it).
  3. If the new concept conflicts with an existing term, add it to "Flagged ambiguities" with a clear resolution.
  4. Preserve all existing content—append, don't rewrite. Rewriting destroys cross-session term provenance and risks silently dropping terms other sessions depend on.

Consuming CONTEXT.md during other work

When exploring or modifying code in a project that has a CONTEXT.md:

What ships with it

2 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.

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.

glossary is a skill published in the GitHub repository tdimino/claude-code-minoan (41 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 607 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
