A tool for maintaining a shared terminology glossary and connecting it to Vale, a writing checker that flags wording and style issues. It can sync terms, validate the glossary, find duplicates or conflicts, and troubleshoot terminology warnings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add terms, sync glossary entries to Vale, check for conflicts, and investigate terminology warnings.
Why use it?
It keeps approved terms consistent across projects and helps resolve vocabulary warnings without maintaining each project's terminology separately.

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 D, and why

glossary-management scanned grade D with 2 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.

Glossary Management

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Overview

Manage the global terminology glossary (~/.claude/docs/GLOSSARY.md) and its Vale integration. The glossary is the Single Source of Truth (SSoT) for terminology across all projects.

When to Use This Skill

Use when:

  • Manually syncing glossary to Vale vocabulary files
  • Validating glossary format and structure
  • Checking for duplicate or conflicting terms across projects
  • Adding new terms programmatically
  • Troubleshooting Vale terminology warnings

Quick Commands

# Manual sync to Vale
bun ~/.claude/tools/bin/glossary-sync.ts

# Check for duplicates/conflicts across projects (invokes terminology-sync hook)
bun ~/eon/cc-skills/plugins/itp-hooks/hooks/posttooluse-terminology-sync.ts <<< '{"tool_name":"Edit","tool_input":{"file_path":"/tmp/test-CLAUDE.md"}}'

SCAN_PATHS Configuration

The terminology sync hook uses SCAN_PATHS to discover project CLAUDE.md files. This is configured via an HTML comment in GLOSSARY.md:

<!-- SCAN_PATHS:
- ~/eon/*/CLAUDE.md
- ~/eon/*/*/CLAUDE.md
- ~/.claude/docs/GLOSSARY.md
-->

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.
